South African Farming Problem
Many farms depend on grid electricity or diesel for irrigation pumping — both are costly and unreliable.
- Load shedding disrupts scheduled irrigation
- Diesel pumping increases operating cost significantly
- Off-grid farms need independent solar pumping solutions
- Solar panels alone are not enough — pump control integration is critical
PKYDrip Approach
We design solar irrigation systems that integrate solar pumping with irrigation control — not just panels, but a working irrigation system.
System Capabilities
- Solar pump controller integration
- Hybrid solar + grid + generator operation support
- Pump start/stop automation linked to irrigation schedule
- Water tank level monitoring (optional)
- Valve control coordination with solar pump output
Applications
- Off-grid crop farms
- Borehole pumping with solar panels
- Farms replacing diesel pumps with solar
- Backup solar systems for grid-connected farms
- Remote farms with no reliable electricity
South Africa Value
- Energy independence for irrigation operation
- Lower long-term pumping cost vs diesel-only systems
- Irrigation continues during load shedding with solar + storage
- Pair with irrigation control for full pump and valve automation
