Irrigate Year-Round. Zero Diesel. Zero Rationing.

A small farm borehole and solar drip irrigation package for 1–3 acres starts from Ksh 500,000–900,000. A larger system for a 10-acre horticultural farm with high-yield borehole, solar pump, 20,000L storage, and drip irrigation typically costs Ksh 1.2M–2.5M. A 50-acre commercial farm with multiple boreholes and full sprinkler coverage ranges from Ksh 3M–8M+. We provide fixed-price quotes after a free farm assessment — so you know the full cost before committing.

A solar pump operates during daylight hours — typically 6–9 hours/day depending on season and solar irradiance. Properly sized, a solar pump and borehole can fill a storage tank during the day, which then feeds the irrigation network by gravity or pressure pump throughout the night. For Kenya's average solar irradiance, a 1.5kW solar pump at 60m depth can deliver 30,000–50,000 litres per day — sufficient for 3–8 acres of drip-irrigated vegetables depending on crop type.

A properly surveyed and sited borehole taps deep aquifers that are recharged over many years and are largely insulated from seasonal rainfall variation. Most boreholes we drill in Central Kenya, Rift Valley, and Eastern Kenya produce consistent yields year-round. Our hydrogeological survey identifies the best drilling location and estimates sustainable yield before drilling — so we only proceed if the site has adequate groundwater resources for your farm's needs.

Yes — borehole water is ideal for drip irrigation because it has consistent quality, pressure, and availability. However, water treatment is critical: borehole water in some parts of Kenya has elevated iron, manganese, or fluoride that can clog drip emitters or harm crops. Our farm package includes a basic water quality test, and we recommend the appropriate inline filter or treatment system for your specific borehole water. Properly treated borehole water through drip irrigation is the most efficient irrigation method for Kenyan farms.

We serve farms of all sizes — from 1-acre smallholder plots to 500-acre commercial operations. For small farms, we offer shared borehole schemes where 5–20 neighbouring smallholders jointly fund one borehole, dramatically reducing per-farmer cost. Individual 1–3 acre packages using a shallow borehole and small solar pump are also available from Ksh 350,000.
