Putting the Planet & The Customer First

Here at Solar Pump Solutions, we are focused on the continued supply of innovative and cost effective solutions aimed at making our customers operations more profitable and lives a little easier.

We purchased a sps water pump back in 2019 fantastic piece of equipment, has freed up so much of our time otherwise spent drawing water to stock. Brian and Katie so helpful and a real pleasure to deal with. Would highly recommend this product, a very cost effective and worthwhile investment.

Very happy with the solar pump. Very easy to install. Excellent customer service. It has made life alot easier on the out farm. I now have it split into two fields with a quality and consistent supply of water to both fields. No cattle entering the river anymore. Would recommend.

The pump is a great bit of kit, does exactly what it says on the tin! Perfect!👍

Great system for pumping water for out farm with no electricity. Saves a lot of time when not having to draw water for paddock system. Great service from Bryan for last 3years

Jimmy W.

Delighted with this product. It has given us great peace of mind knowing our milking cows are constantly getting water. As before our pump was not able to fill the troughs quick enough for the cows at the far side of the farm. Also supplies power to the fencer.

Bought a solar pump this spring, to supply outside land that only had access to one main drinking point. Now this has allowed us to put in paddocks with a constant supply of fresh water. This is a long narrow farm, so the pump is well capable of pumping the required distance of 1.2km. Bryan and Katie were extremely helpful and the solar pump is very easy to setup.

We bought two of these systems the start of this summer and had it supplying 160 dairy stock. It worked very well and is a great product.

Excellent product very happy with my investment. It's pumping water too 3 different 100 gallon drinkers and powering electric fencer. Should of bought one sooner. Well done great product.

I'm extremely happy with my SPS pump. I researched and considered buying systems from the UK and America before finding theirs when I was browsing thr Irish Farmers Journal in my dentist's waiting room! Not only was the SPS a far better build quality but it was very well priced. I'm using it to supply spring water to a feeder tank up a hill behind my house. It's fast, it's compact, it's quiet and it's completely reliable. What more could you ask for? Katie and Bryan were great to deal with and I'm glad to have supported an Irish solution to a global need. Many thanks SPS.

Fitted a pump 4 months ago, working perfectly. Good job!

Bought a solar pump early summer and it works prefect. Very easy to set up and no problems with it since. It also powers my electric fence and I hope to use it during the winter to pump water into the shed. A very good product.

This is an excellent product and we have no hesitation in recommending purchasing it. In our case it is used on a 30 acre block of land, separate from the main farm. The unit provides power for fencing the entire area into paddocks. It also pumps water under high pressure from a small stream to troughs, some uphill from the water source. The solar pump meant we avoided the expense of getting a new electricity connection here.Both installing and operating the solar pump are very straight forward. After sales service is excellent, Brian and Katie respond really promptly and to any query. Highly recommend!

Cracking pump, free water and power source all year round. Does exactly what we need it to do. The backup from Bryan is second to none as well.

I found Solar Pump Solutions to be very customer oriented. They were extremely helpful and very prompt with delivery. I'm very happy to recommend them.

Roddy Mc N.

Very impressive system.. Having discussed my farm layout and different options available I purchased one 2 years ago. Now I have an out farm in a paddock system with troughs pumping water up hill for about 700metres.. from having one batch of cattle getting water at a stream I now have cows bulls and heifers divided into bunches.. definitely would recommend.

James O C.

Have been using this pump for nearly three years. Was able to split the farm up for strip grazing and is keeping 70 cattle with water. Pumping nearly 1km to the back of the farm from the water supply. Bryan always more than helpful with any problems I had. Never with out water. Saved putting in ESB connection and saving on ESB bills. Great product and great service, even after three years.

John C.

Super idea works a dream saves a lot of time can graze in paddocks no long water runs anymore.

David H.

The pump has completely changed the way we can operate on the farm. Access to water was always a problem and once we entered GLAS we could no longer use the river. We have been running six water troughs off it for the past two years for 25 suckler cows with calves. Really great product. Have never had a bother with it. Bryan was very responsive to queries. Very happy with it.

Seamus D

Great product, makes my life so much simpler. Gives me great confidence that my cattle have plenty of water and aren't at risk in the river.

After entering glas I needed a solution to fencing off cattle from the river and after extensive research I came across solar pump solutions. I am running 5 troughs watering up 100 cattle and a fencer for 50 acres off this system. It has worked excellently

john O.

After joining glas in 2017 I had to keep the cattle out of the rivers after looking at a few different options l decided to go for SPS pump. This is my 3rd year using the pump and I can say it has being great it is pumping water for over 700 metres for 80 cattle and running a high powered electric fence. Bryan is very good to deal with and will always answer or call back if you have a question .A great pump well designed and will pump as much water as you need.

Stephen C.

Great machine. It allowed me to fence cattle away from a river and paddock up an out farm.

PJ P.

After joining GLAS in 2017 I had to stop the practice of having the cattle using the watercourse on the farm for drinking points. AS most of the land is the far side of the road from the house/farm well, the SPS pump was the ideal solution for me as a means of supplying the water. It's supplying 9 troughs (will add more). Very happy with it as are the cattle.Martin Devin Co Meath

Very very useful would definitely recommend too all saved me alot of money no ESB bill Just buy it trust me would give 10 stars if I could so happy with it

Danielle K.

Power is as strong as the mains supply. Super handy for an out-farm where we can keep the cattle out of drains. SPS system has allowed us to increase cattle numbers on this outfarm while ensuring the cattle have fresh water. The ability to run an electric fencer off the system is an added extra. The SPS system has impressed many neighbors so I'll expect a rebate if they make a purchase or 2! Bryan Fallon Co. Westmeath

Bryan F.

I have been using the solar pump for 3 years now and it has worked prefect. Even in last years heat wave. It helped us put in more paddocks and bring water to them all. This help increase the cattle numbers on the out farm.Well done to Bryan and Katie on developing a great product and Thanks again.

Peter Mc D.

Great product and excellent service. Bryan was very helpful. Does what it says on the tin, I'm pumping water 900m into 7 troughs and 80 head of cattle. It's also powering my electric fence around approx 30acres. I also put it on the Sheds over the winter, kept 100 head of cattle in water all winter except for one very dark overcast day. . Very impressive.

Damien O' S.

Very good product and very good service.

Joe O' R.

A great job. Very simple. Both economic and environmentally friendly to run. Would recommend this product to everyone.

Micheal O L.

Great machine has doubled output of an out farm very happy

Water flow is just as good even 700m away from the pump. We’ve installed six water troughs and sub-divided the farm. It’s also powering the battery fencer which saves moving a portable fencer around and regularly recharging the battery. We’ve much more flexibility with the out-farm now. Stephen Connaughton, Co. Galway

Every farmer should have an SPS solar water pump. It provides an independent and reliable water source. I’ve already noticed improved animal performance and it has allowed me to stock heavier. Joseph O’Reilly, Co. Westmeath

Judging by the water flow alone, you’d think it was a mains water supply”. 55 weanlings supplied from a pond from September to 15th December and again from 15th January to Mid April before closing for silage. Solar panel always kept the battery fully charged even though, due to overshadowing trees, it only had access to sunlight from 12 noon onwards each day. The pump just worked away itself and has revolutionised the potential for this block of land. Conor O’Leary, Co. Cork

I’ve an out-farm where 40-50 cattle were drinking from the river. The SPS solar water pump allowed me to fence off the river and use a paddock grazing system with numerous water troughs. This allowed be to benefit from the GLAS scheme as well as improve grass management on the out-farm. I’m very happy with this system and would highly recommend to anyone. Brian Hogan, Co. Galway

It’s an independent water source and it’s free energy. It has allowed me to boost my water supply in a far-away section of the farm and introduce five extra drinking points. This means less walking for the cows and more time grazing, so it has already proven its value. Michael Burke, Co. Galway

I was letting cattle back over a few fields to get to water. Cattle were mucking up the land and then letting them into a drain was very dangerous. I knew when we saw this product, we were sorted. Aidan Power, Co. Tipperary

I purchased SPS solar water pump in June 2016. I’m pumping water from a stream on an out-farm and I’m very happy with the solar water pump. Michael McKeon, Co. Westmeath

With five extra water troughs supplied on a remote part of the farm, the cows now don’t have to travel long distances for water, meaning less walking and more time in the paddock eating grass. We’ll be getting another solar water pump next year. Denis Nyhan, Co. Cork

It’s pumping the water 1.5km and supplying 140 cattle. It’s as good as a mains water supply. Ciaran Coone, Co. Galway

We can carry more stock now on our out-farm. We couldn’t divide the farm before but now we increased from three to seven divisions on the farm by installing four water troughs and it makes grass management much easier. Cattle are thriving better. Damien Haverty, Co. Galway

30-40 cattle were drinking from a drain in a set-stocking grazing system. The drain is fenced off now and we will install three water troughs. We plan on increasing numbers now to 50-60 cattle. Eamon Morris, Co. Galway

I’m supplying 53 cattle with water from a stream. The stream is fenced off now and water is supplied to multiple water troughs. I now have more options with grazing and it makes management that bit easier. Matt Brennan, Co. Kilkenny

It has taken the pressure off my existing water pump and allowed me to install extra water troughs. It has allowed strip grazing of fields and has given greater flexibility. Jim, Co. Tipperary

Before, we had three drinking points from the river and cattle had to travel back over fields to access the water. The river is fenced off now for GLAS and water is supplied to the cattle with six water troughs. I’m very happy with it. John O’Dwyer, Co. Kilkenny
