Solar pump setups feature a unique design that utilizes solar energy to power submersible pumps instead of relying on electricity. They are especially beneficial in remote locations where traditional power sources are unavailable. Solar pumps are increasingly replacing windmills due to their low maintenance requirements. Although the initial installation cost is typically higher than that of electric pumps, they eliminate monthly electricity bills, making them a cost-effective long-term solution.

Positives
- No electricity needed
- Very little or no maintenance
Negatives
- More expensive than electric pumps
- Only pumps when the sun is out
