Questions
Asked before a quotation.
Does solar pumping work on cloudy days?
It pumps less when the sun is weak. The design stores water in a tank or pond on sunny days, so the farm can irrigate on cloudy days and at night.
Can you fix or extend an existing system?
Yes. Send us photographs and the layout if you have it, and we arrange a visit.
