Borehole Data Review
Depth, water level, yield and existing installation information are considered before pump sizing.
Move water with solar energy
Solar Water-Pumping Systems in Zimbabwe
Solar pumping links water demand, borehole performance, pumping head, storage and solar resource. We coordinate these factors to create a system that operates around the client’s actual daily water requirement.
Service overview
A coordinated approach to solar water pumping
Solar pumping links water demand, borehole performance, pumping head, storage and solar resource. We coordinate these factors to create a system that operates around the client’s actual daily water requirement.
In water pumping, storage is part of the energy strategy. A well-sized tank can allow water to be collected during strong solar hours and used later without requiring oversized electrical storage.

What the service can include
Clear scope before mobilisation
The final package is adapted to the site, project stage, available information and client responsibilities. These are typical components rather than automatic inclusions.
Water Demand Planning
Daily volume, peak periods, irrigation or domestic demand and storage strategy are defined.
Solar Pump Selection
Pump and controller capacity matched to hydraulic requirements and expected operating hours.
PV Array Sizing
Solar array capacity selected to support pumping requirements under practical site conditions.
Storage Integration
Tank capacity and operating logic used to improve water availability when solar input changes.
Installation & Testing
Mechanical and electrical installation followed by functional checks and handover.
Delivery process
How we move from enquiry to handover
A visible process reduces uncertainty and gives both the client and project team clear decision points.

Borehole and head data
A defined checkpoint in the agreed delivery pathway.
Pump and storage strategy
A defined checkpoint in the agreed delivery pathway.
Solar sizing
A defined checkpoint in the agreed delivery pathway.
Installation

Why DC Designs & Construction
One team connecting design, construction, water and energy
Where projects cross multiple disciplines, our integrated capability helps reduce coordination gaps and gives clients one accountable project conversation.
Local project context
Based in Harare and serving projects across Zimbabwe subject to scope, access and mobilisation requirements.
Visible scope control
Deliverables, assumptions and project interfaces are defined before execution wherever practical.
Quality checkpoints
Inspection and review points are integrated into the delivery process rather than left to final handover.
Integrated specialist services
Architectural design, construction, project management, borehole and solar solutions can be coordinated under one company.
Frequently asked questions
Questions clients ask before appointing us
Many solar pumping systems can use water storage instead of battery storage, but the correct configuration depends on operating requirements and whether pumping is needed outside solar hours.
Sometimes. Existing pump characteristics, power requirements and control strategy must be reviewed to determine whether conversion or replacement is more suitable.
Delivery depends on borehole yield, pump curve, total head, pipework, solar resource and system sizing. A useful estimate requires project-specific data.
It can be particularly useful where grid power is unavailable or unreliable, provided the borehole, storage and water demand are suitable for solar operation.
