Project Details
In Rarieda, Bondo, Siaya County, our client Victor Ochieng needed a dependable, grid-independent way to pump water from his borehole and deliver it to his underground storage tank. ALKIM Green Galaxy Limited designed and installed a complete solar borehole pumping system, including the piping from the pump discharge point to the underground tank.
| Client | Victor Ochieng |
| Location | Rarieda, Bondo – Siaya County |
| Project Size (kW) | 3kW Submersible Pump, 8.75kWp Solar Power & Solar Pumping Inverter |
| Installation Date | 17th October 2026 |
System Components Used
The hot water system included:
14 units of 625W monocrystalline solar panels (Total: 8.75kWp)3kW Submersible Pump Set (Vinco pump head and sub-motor).
Solar Pumping Inverter (Veikong) with combiner box
Drop pipe, airline piping, submersible and control cabling.
Earthing and lightning protection.
Borehole cover, non-return valve, water meter and float switch.
Piping from the pump discharge point to the underground tank.
What the Solar Pumping System Delivers
The system comfortably supports hot water for:
Daily water abstraction powered directly by sunlight, with no fuel or grid power neededAutomatic filling of the underground tank through the dedicated discharge piping.
Pump and system protection through the float switch, non-return valve and surge and lightning protection
Consumption monitoring through the installed water meter.
Project Summary
Victor wanted a complete, ready-to-run water solution rather than a collection of separate parts. We supplied and installed a 3kW submersible pump driven by a 14-panel, 8.75kWp solar array, and extended the piping to his underground tank so that water flows from the borehole to storage without any manual handling.
Overview
Our lead technician went to site first to prepare the ground, followed by the full installation team. Works ran from site preparation, through installation, cabling, protection and commissioning, to monitoring and handover. The panels were mounted for maximum daily yield, and the system was tested under load before handover to the client.
Results
Zero Pumping Costs – The borehole now runs entirely on free solar energy.Reliable Water Supply – Steady daily pumping into the underground tank.
Protected Equipment – Built-in safeguards extend the life of the pump and inverter.
Turnkey Delivery – Supply, installation, piping and commissioning handled by one team.
Client Testimonial
I wanted my borehole to work without depending on fuel or the grid, and ALKIM Green Galaxy delivered exactly that. The team was organised and professional, and the water now flows straight into my underground tank every day.
