We are excited to share that we now have a fully operational solar pumping system running at our Oamaru branch, available for customers to view in person. This setup allows you to see the technology working in real time and helps you decide whether solar pumping could be the right solution for your property.

‍

As solar energy continues to become more competitive, solar-powered water pumps are proving to be an increasingly popular option, particularly for farms with remote water supplies where grid electricity is unavailable or uneconomic. Solar pumping can offer a reliable, low-running-cost solution with minimal ongoing maintenance.

Partnering with Lorentz – Purpose-Built for Remote Pumping

We have partnered with Lorentz, a German manufacturer specialising in solar pumps and solar inverter technology designed specifically for remote water pumping. Lorentz systems are engineered for reliability, efficiency, and long service life in demanding agricultural environments.

‍

These are not standard electric pumps adapted for solar use, they are purpose-designed systems optimised to get the most out of available solar energy throughout the day.

‍

Designed for Your Farm

Every farm is different, which is why we use specialised design software to tailor a solution specifically for your situation. When designing a system, we take into account:

• The number of animals (stock units) on your property
• The vertical lift from the water source to your storage tanks
• Pipe length, diameter, and pressure rating
• Daily water demand and seasonal requirements

This ensures the system is correctly sized and performs reliably for your needs, no guess work involved.

Visit Us or Arrange a Site Visit

We encourage you to drop into our Oamaru branch to see the solar pump system running, ask questions, and talk through your options. If you’d prefer,one of our design engineers can visit your property to assess whether solar pumping is a good fit for your application.
