Solar Pumps: Submersible, Surface, DC and AC Water Pumps
A solar water pump runs on power from solar panels, so it pumps water without grid electricity or diesel. Ashirwad Solar offers submersible, surface, DC and AC pumps. See our solar pump manufacturers in India page for more.
There are several different types of solar-powered pumps depending on how they have been classified. But primarily there are four types of solar water pumps--submersible pumps and surface pumps, direct current (DC) pumps and alternate current (AC) pumps.

Types of Solar Water Pumps
Submersible Pumps
As the name suggests, a submersible pump is located deep below the ground level and remains submerged underwater.
Surface Pumps
The surface pumps remain out of the water and in the open. They are installed where the water table is within a depth of 10 metres.
DC Pumps
This pump runs on a motor which operates on direct current, therefore no battery or inverter is needed in this type of pump.
AC Pumps
The motor of this pump operates on alternating current, which means the direct current produced by the solar panels gets converted to AC using the inverter. The conversion from DC to AC leads to loss of power from generation and consumption. Available from 1 HP.
Which Solar Pump Should You Choose?
| If you have | Consider |
|---|---|
| Water deep underground (borewell) | Submersible pump |
| Water table within about 10 metres | Surface pump |
| No battery or inverter, simple setup | DC pump |
| Need 1 HP or more with an inverter | AC pump |
To size your system we need your water depth, daily water need and land area. Share these and we will suggest the pump type, horsepower and number of panels.
Where Solar Pumps Are Used
- Farms and irrigation: run your pump in daytime without grid power or diesel.
- Villages and institutions: steady water supply for schools, hostels and campuses.
- Dairy farms and livestock: reliable water for animals and cleaning.
- Remote sites: an off-grid solar electric system works where the grid is weak or missing.
Panels, Installation and Larger Projects
Your pump runs on solar panels, so panel quality matters. As a solar panel company in India, we supply the panels along with the pump. Our team handles solar panel installation services from site survey to commissioning. For larger pumping projects that need design, supply and construction under one contract, talk to a solar EPC company in India like us.
Ask us about government schemes that may apply to solar pumps, as rules and eligibility change.
Why Buy From Ashirwad Solar
We started in 2007 as a fabricator of solar water heater components and now make renewable energy products at our factory unit in Gogalwadi, Haveli, Pune. Buying direct means clear advice on pump type and size, fair pricing and quick service.
Solar Pump FAQs
What are the types of solar water pumps?
Solar water pumps are grouped by where they sit and by the current they use: submersible pumps and surface pumps, and DC pumps and AC pumps.
What is the difference between a submersible and a surface solar pump?
A submersible pump sits deep below ground and stays under water. A surface pump stays out of the water in the open and is used where the water table is within about 10 metres.
Does a solar pump need a battery or inverter?
A DC pump runs on a direct-current motor, so no battery or inverter is needed. An AC pump needs an inverter to convert the DC power from the panels into AC.
What is the difference between DC and AC solar pumps?
DC pumps run directly on solar power with no conversion. AC pumps use an inverter, and the DC to AC conversion causes some power loss. Our AC pumps are available from 1 HP.
Which solar pump do I need for my farm or borewell?
It depends on your water depth, daily water need and land area. Share these details and we will suggest the pump type, horsepower and number of solar panels.
Do you install solar pumps?
Yes. We supply the pump and solar panels, and our team handles site survey, installation and commissioning.
