Solar Water Pump Systems

The Off-Grid Water Solution Built for West Texas

West Texas has two things in abundance: remote land and sunshine. For the ranchers, residential property owners, and agricultural operators across Brewster, Jeff Davis, Presidio, Pecos, and Terrell counties who need a reliable water supply at a well site that is impractical or impossible to reach with grid power, a solar pump system is not a compromise — it is the most practical, reliable long-term solution available. Arrowhead Drilling & Well Service designs and installs solar water pump systems for remote West Texas properties, using West Texas sunshine to run submersible pump systems that deliver consistent water supply without the ongoing fuel costs of a generator or the infrastructure cost of running power lines across remote terrain.

What a Solar Pump System Includes

• Solar Panel Array — sized to the pump's power requirements and the well's daily water demand, with sufficient capacity to run the pump reliably during peak sunlight hours and maintain supply on partially cloudy days
• Submersible Solar Pump — DC-powered submersible pump sized and selected to match the well's depth, casing size, and the water volume needed for the property's specific use — household, livestock, or irrigation
• Solar Pump Controller — manages power input from the panels to the pump motor, protecting the system from voltage fluctuations and optimizing pump performance based on available solar energy
• Water Storage Tank — for most solar pump installations, a surface or elevated storage tank is included so water pumped during daylight hours is available on demand at any time, not only when the sun is shining
• Float Switch and Auto-Shutoff — prevents the tank from overfilling and protects the pump from running dry if the water level drops
• Distribution Piping — connecting the pump, tank, and point of use for the specific property layout

Who Solar Pump Systems Are Best Suited For

• Solar pump systems make the most sense for:
• Remote ranch pastures where running power lines to the well site would cost more than the pump system itself
• Off-grid residential properties in the Big Bend region where grid connection is not available or not desired
• Hunting leases and seasonal operations that need reliable water without ongoing generator maintenance
• Agricultural and irrigation systems with predictable daily water demand that can be met by pumping during daylight hours
• Livestock watering stations across large ranches where multiple water points need to be supplied independently
