Solar Pumps That Lower Your Cost Per Acre
Reduce irrigation costs by 60–80% compared to diesel generators. Natural Current's hybrid AC/DC pumps deliver high-volume water for center pivot, drip, flood, and sprinkler systems — powered by the sun with grid backup.
Why Farmers Choose Solar Pumps
Advantages for Agricultural Operations
⛽ Eliminate Diesel Costs
Stop paying $4–$8/gallon for diesel generator fuel. Solar-powered pumping has zero fuel cost and minimal maintenance expense year after year.
📈 Predictable Operating Cost
No fuel price volatility. Once installed, your solar pump system delivers water at a fixed cost that doesn't change with commodity markets.
🌍 Remote Field Coverage
No power lines needed. Solar pumps operate in remote pastures, back fields, and locations where running grid power would cost tens of thousands.
🔧 Low Maintenance
Brushless permanent-magnet motors have no wearing parts. No oil changes, no belts, no spark plugs — just reliable pumping season after season.
Water Volume Calculator
How Much Water Does Your Farm Need?
Most crops require 1–2 acre-inches per week during the growing season (1 acre-inch ≈ 27,154 gallons). Use this calculator to estimate your daily pumping requirement.
ROI: Solar vs. Diesel Pumping
- Diesel generator: $0.15–$0.30 per 1,000 gallons (fuel + maintenance)
- Grid electric pump: $0.06–$0.12 per 1,000 gallons (varies by rate)
- Solar hybrid pump: $0.01–$0.03 per 1,000 gallons (after payback)
- Typical ROI timeline: 2–4 years for most farms
- 25+ year lifespan on solar panels; 10+ years on pump motors
Example: A 40-acre farm pumping 325,000 GPD saves roughly $12,000–$18,000/year vs. diesel when switching to solar.
