Project Details
In Kitui County, our client Freddie required a high-capacity and reliable solar water pumping system to support both irrigation farming and domestic water supply. Given the area’s hot climate and abundant sunlight, solar water pumping was the most efficient and sustainable solution to ensure year-round access to water without the recurring fuel or electricity costs associated with traditional pumping methods.
After assessing the water demand and pump specifications, ALKIM Green Galaxy Limited designed and implemented a 22.8kWp solar pumping solution powered by a robust 18kW solar pumping inverter. The system delivers strong, consistent pumping performance with zero operational fuel costs.

System Components Used in the Solar Pumping Project
The solar water pumping system comprised:
39 units of 585W monocrystalline solar panels (Total: 22.8kWp).18kW Solar Pumping Inverter.
Heavy-duty galvanized mounting structure.
High-efficiency solar cables and protection devices.
Pump control accessories and safety components.
What the 22.8kWp Solar Pumping System Can Deliver
This high-capacity system is capable of powering:
Large AC submersible or surface pumps.
High-volume irrigation systems for farms.
Domestic water supply for households and livestock.
Daily pumping throughout daylight hours.
Excellent flow rates even under partial cloud conditions.
NB: The system is ideal for large farms, community water points and commercial operations requiring continuous water output.
Project Summary
Freddie needed a powerful and cost-effective water solution for both agricultural and household needs. The previous water access methods likely dependent on grid schedules or diesel generators were unsustainable and expensive.
We proposed a fully solar-powered pumping solution utilizing 39 high-wattage solar panels combined with an 18kW pump inverter to ensure strong water flow throughout the day. The system was designed to maximize production even under the high temperatures typical of Kitui.
The installation supports high water yields, enabling the client to irrigate crops efficiently while also supplying steady water for domestic use.
Overview
Our engineering team executed the project with precision, ensuring:
Optimal panel orientation for maximum daily production.
Durable mounting structures capable of withstanding Kitui’s harsh weather.
Proper pump inverter configuration for smooth motor operation.
Protection against voltage fluctuations and dry-run scenarios.
The final system was tested to confirm stable performance across all pumping cycles.
Results
Freddie now enjoys:
Reliable, high-volume water pumping for irrigation and household usage.Zero fuel or electricity costs to run the pump.
Full independence from unreliable grid power.
Strong flow rates due to high PV input and efficient inverter management.
Improved farm productivity and reduced operational expenses.
The solar pumping system has significantly increased efficiency while securing long-term sustainability.
