Yes, Simple Pump motors work excellently with solar power systems.
Solar Powered Well Pump Kit
Simple Pump offers a complete Solar Powered Well Pump Kit that includes everything you need for solar-powered water pumping:
- 740 watts of solar panels (two 370-watt monocrystalline panels)
- MPPT charge controller for efficient battery charging
- 12V or 24V motor options
- 100MPH wind-rated panel mounting hardware
- Weather-resistant enclosure
Battery System Required
Simple Pump solar systems require batteries. Direct solar connection (without batteries) is not a supported configuration.
The battery system provides:
- Consistent power delivery to the motor
- Pumping capability day or night
- Power buffering during cloudy conditions
- Protection for the motor from voltage fluctuations
Note: Batteries are customer-provided and not included in the solar kit.
Motor Voltage Options
- 24V Motor System: Higher lift capacity (up to 225 ft), requires two 12V batteries in series
- 12V Motor System: Up to 200 ft lift, works with single deep-cycle battery
Lift Capacity with Solar
Motor-driven systems (including solar) have the same lift limits as standard motorized pumps:
| Cylinder | 24V Motor | 12V Motor |
|---|---|---|
| 100CA | 225 ft | 200 ft |
| 125CA | 150 ft | 125 ft |
| 200CA | 60 ft | 50 ft |
Key Features
- Programmable timer included for automated tank filling
- Manual backup capability - convert to hand pumping if needed
- Complete off-grid solution for water independence
- Manufacturer warranty on solar components

If you already have a Simple Pump motor, you can add solar power:
- Match your existing motor voltage (12V or 24V)
- Add appropriate solar panels and charge controller
- Include battery bank for your water needs
