Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions
answered honestly.

Do I need a borehole to use a solar pump? +
Not necessarily. Surface pumps draw from open water sources like rivers, ponds, and canals. Submersible pumps are designed for boreholes or deep wells. We'll assess your water source during consultation and recommend accordingly.
How does the pay-as-you-go plan work exactly? +
We structure an installment plan based on the pump cost and your capacity to pay. Typically there is an initial deposit, followed by periodic payments we discuss with you. Plans are tailored individually — contact us to discuss your specific situation.
What happens when the weather is cloudy for days? +
Solar pumps work on diffuse light as well as direct sunlight, so they can operate on overcast days — though at reduced output. For farms where continuous operation is critical, we can discuss battery storage options or hybrid configurations.
Do you serve areas outside Benin City? +
Our primary focus is Benin City and its surrounding rural communities. We do consider projects in neighbouring areas — please contact us with your location and we'll advise on feasibility.
How long does installation typically take? +
Most standard installations are completed within one to two days. More complex setups — such as deep borehole systems or large-acreage drip networks — may take longer. We'll give you a clear timeline before work begins.
Who manufactures the pumps you distribute? +
We work with three pump manufacturers. We don't publish their names on our website, but we're happy to share full product details — including manufacturer information, specs, and warranty terms — when you contact us for a quote.
