If you’re tired of watching your water pump run up the electricity bill, or you simply don’t have grid access where you need water most, solar powered water pumps are worth a serious look. Roofmart Solar builds and supplies these systems for homes, farms and businesses across the island, using free sunlight to lift and move water instead of relying on the national grid or a diesel motor.
We are often asked whether a solar water pump can meet a household’s daily water requirements or support irrigation across several acres of land. The honest answer is that it depends on the water source, daily water consumption, pumping distance, and system capacity. That is why Roofmart Solar begins every project with a detailed site assessment instead of offering a one-size-fits-all package.
Premium components sourced from manufacturers with a proven track record, not unbranded imports
Warranty coverage and after-sales support, so you're not on your own if something needs attention
Systems built specifically to handle Sri Lanka's heat, humidity and monsoon rainfall
A consultation process where we actually size the pump and panel setup to your property, rather than guessing
Support for homeowners, farmers, and commercial or industrial operations island-wide
Depending on your water source depth and volume requirements, we specialize in two primary technologies.
Perfect for boreholes and deep wells (up to 200m+ depth).
Silent operation as the motor remains underwater.
Highly efficient DC brushless motor technology.
Ideal for rivers, ponds, and shallow tanks (less than 7m depth).
Easy to maintain and inspect due to above-ground placement.
High flow rates for rapid tank filling or irrigation.
High-efficiency solar panels capture sunlight and convert it into DC electricity. We use top-tier industrial panels tested for tropical humidity.
The 'brain' of the system. It manages the pump's speed and protects against surges. It optimizes the power even on cloudy days.
Energy is sent directly to the pump. Since water can be stored in tanks (potential energy), expensive battery banks are rarely needed for agricultural use.
Every project is different. Our engineers are ready to help you calculate the exact pump capacity and panel count you need for your land.
Roofmart Solar offers two primary types of solar pump systems depending on your water source: Submersible Pumps (ideal for deep wells and boreholes up to 200m+ depth) and Surface Pumps (suited for shallow sources like rivers, ponds, and open tanks under 7m depth). We also provide standard DC pumps as well as AC/DC hybrid systems.
System requirements depend on your water source depth, total daily water consumption, pumping distance, and head height. Roofmart Solar performs a detailed site assessment for every project to custom-size the pump and solar panel setup rather than offering generic, one-size-fits-all packages.
Our systems feature high-efficiency MPPT controllers to maximize water pumping even during overcast weather. For continuous 24/7 pumping or night operation, we offer AC/DC hybrid pump configurations that can draw power from the national grid or a generator when solar energy is insufficient.
Yes. All Roofmart Solar pump systems use premium components specifically engineered to withstand Sri Lanka’s high heat, humidity, dry-season warmth, and heavy monsoon rainfall. Each system comes backed by a reliable long-term warranty and dedicated island-wide after-sales support.
