Solar for Farms: Solar Irrigation in Egypt

Agricultural electricity costs are a major operating expense for Egyptian farms. Solar irrigation replaces diesel generators and grid pumps with sun-powered pumping, cutting fuel costs and improving uptime in remote areas.

Benefits for Egyptian farms

Lower operating cost: sunshine is free once the system is installed.

Water reliability: pumps run during peak solar hours when irrigation is most needed.

Sustainability: reduce diesel emissions and grid dependence.

Scalability: systems from small holdings to large commercial farms.

System design considerations

Pump horsepower, well depth, daily water volume, and storage determine solar array and inverter sizing. Bolt Energy engineers irrigation systems for farms across Egypt including off-grid and hybrid configurations.
