Solar Water Pump Systems Market Report 2026

The solar water pump systems market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.87 billion in 2025 to $2.09 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to dependence on diesel powered irrigation, increasing rural electrification gaps, government support for renewable irrigation, rising fuel cost volatility, demand for reliable water access.

The solar water pump systems market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.27 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growth of sustainable agriculture practices, declining solar PV costs, expansion of climate resilient farming, increasing focus on water conservation, rising adoption in remote areas. Major trends in the forecast period include off grid irrigation solutions, low maintenance pump designs, expansion of government subsidy programs, rising adoption in water scarce regions, integration with drip and micro irrigation.

The growing agricultural activities are expected to support the expansion of the solar water pump systems market. Agricultural activities include cultivating crops, raising livestock, and managing processes involved in producing food, fiber, and other agricultural goods. Solar water pump systems leverage solar energy to provide a sustainable and efficient water source for irrigation, livestock watering, and other farm operations. For example, in October 2024, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), an Italy-based United Nations agency, projected global rice production for 2024 to reach a record 539.2 million metric tons due to favorable conditions in India, highlighting the increasing need for resilient and productive crops. Additionally, global wheat production is expected to rise to 792.9 million tons in 2024, driven by improved yield prospects in Australia. Therefore, expanding agricultural activity is driving demand for solar water pump systems.

Major companies in the solar water pump systems market are developing smart, energy-efficient pumping solutions that maximize solar energy use, ensure reliability in off-grid or low-sunlight environments, and promote sustainable irrigation and rural water supply. For instance, in April 2024, ABB Ltd., a Switzerland-based industrial equipment manufacturer, introduced the ACQ80 Solar Pump Drive, an advanced solar-powered drive designed for water pumping applications. The system features a wide DC input voltage range (225-800 VDC), built-in MPPT logic to optimize solar energy harvesting, and intelligent functions such as flow calculation, dry-run protection, pump-cleaning, and multiple smart operating modes. It can run solely on solar energy or switch to AC power from the grid or a generator when needed. This flexibility ensures continuous water supply and irrigation, even in remote or low-sunlight conditions, while reducing dependence on diesel and conventional electricity sources and lowering CO₂ emissions. The launch highlights a broader market trend toward high-performance, smart, and energy-efficient pumping systems that support sustainable agriculture and rural water access.

In October 2023, Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL), an India-based electric power distribution company, partnered with Shakti Pumps to deploy 50,000 off-grid solar photovoltaic water pumping systems across Maharashtra. This partnership forms part of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha Evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan, a government initiative promoting the adoption of solar energy in the agricultural sector. Shakti Pumps India Limited is an India-based manufacturer of submersible pumps for domestic, industrial, horticultural, and agricultural applications.
