Solar, Battery & Diesel Hybrid Pumping Solutions

Continuous Water Reliability for Australian Agriculture

Hybrid pumping & irrigation

Power for pumping.
Built around water demand.

Solar, battery and generator power systems for bores, irrigation and water transfer—designed around the water your property needs to move.

We assess the pump, flow requirements and operating hours, then build the power supply to suit. Off-grid or alongside an existing grid connection.

Start with the water.
Engineer the power.

A bore supplying livestock and an irrigation pump running through a hot summer have different priorities. We work through water demand, pump performance and when the equipment needs to operate before sizing solar, storage and backup.

01 / Application

Livestock bores

Power for remote water points, with equipment protection and monitoring suited to long distances between visits.

02 / Application

Irrigation & vineyards

Systems sized for seasonal pumping windows, higher summer demand and the capacity of the existing supply.

03 / Application

Transfer & water infrastructure

Power for moving water between bores, tanks and storage, including sites away from existing buildings.

Systems we build

The right mix for your pumping site.

01

Solar generation

Supply the pump during daylight and charge storage where fitted. Array size and position follow the site and operating window.

02

Battery storage

Support pumping outside solar hours and manage changing demand. Storage is sized around the required duty cycle.

03

Generator or grid support

Integrate available supply where suitable, with controls designed around pump starting, battery charging and backup needs.

From pump details
to a working system.

We bring the power system together—from the first assessment and equipment selection to installation, commissioning and ongoing support.

01

Assess the pumping duty

Review flow, head, motor information, operating hours and seasonal water demand.

02

Design the supply

Choose solar, battery, inverter and backup capacity, including motor starts and available site infrastructure.

03

Build and commission

Assemble and configure the power equipment, install the array and check the system with the pump operating.

04

Support the installation

Provide monitoring where communications allow, servicing and advice as pumping requirements change.

Before you start

Planning your
power system.

Talk to us about the site, existing equipment and what you need the system to achieve.

Talk to our team
Can you use our existing pump?

We can assess its electrical requirements and condition, along with the motor controls and available supply. Compatibility is confirmed during design.

Does every pumping system need batteries?

No. The right arrangement depends on when water is needed, available water storage, the pumping duty and backup supply. We compare these factors before recommending storage.

How much generator use could we reduce?

That depends on the pumping schedule, solar resource, system size and current fuel use. Generator records and operating hours help us assess the opportunity.

Plan around the water demand

Tell us what needs to keep flowing.

Start with the pump, the water source and the hours it needs to run. We can assess the power requirements alongside the way you manage water.

The pumping details that matter
  • Site location and water source
  • Pump model, motor size and supply phase
  • Required flow, head and pumping hours
  • Existing solar, generator or grid connection

How Hybrid Pumping Works: The Triple-Threat Advantage

Our systems intelligently manage three power sources to ensure you never run dry:

  • Solar Power: Supplies free, renewable energy during daylight hours to drive your pumps at zero running cost.
  • Battery Storage: Captures excess solar energy generated during the day to keep pumps running through the night or during poor weather.
  • Diesel Generator Integration: Provides the ultimate insurance policy, automatically kicking in only when solar and battery supply can't meet demand.

This flexible, "set and forget" design ensures your farm has a continuous, reliable water source in all conditions, 24 hours a day.

Why Choose a Hybrid Pumping Setup?

While traditional solar pumping stops when the sun goes down, a hybrid system keeps working. Here is why it’s the gold standard for modern farming:

  • Works with Any Pump: From submersible bore pumps to high-flow irrigation systems, we design custom power plants to suit your existing setup or a brand-new installation.
  • Reliable 24/7: Solar and batteries handle the day-to-day work, with the generator acting as backup for peak seasonal needs or long periods of low sun.
  • Drastic Fuel Savings: By relying on solar first, you cut down fuel use significantly, running the generator only when absolutely necessary.
  • Scalable Design: Our systems are modular. You can start small and expand with more panels, batteries, or a larger generator as your farm grows.
  • Remote Ready: Achieve industrial-grade power and water security in locations where the grid is either too expensive or impossible to reach.

Why Partner with MyEnergy Engineering?

We don’t just sell components; we engineer long-term water security.

  • Independent & Brand Agnostic: We design systems around your pump and your specific needs, not a specific manufacturer’s catalog.
  • Off-Grid Specialists: With over a decade of experience in remote Australian regions, we understand the challenges of dust, heat, and distance.
  • Custom Design: Every farm is different. We size and configure your system based on your water source, required flow rates, and seasonal demands.
  • In-House Support: Our team takes care of the entire process—from design and installation to ongoing service and technical support.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you design a system for my existing pump? Yes. We specialize in building hybrid power systems around the pump you already have. If you need a total solution, we can also supply and install a new pump.

Do I always need a generator? Not always. Many farms run on solar and battery alone. However, a diesel generator adds vital peace of mind for high-demand irrigation or during extended cloudy periods.

How much diesel will I save? Most of the pumping load is handled by the sun and stored battery power. Generators typically run only as backup, which cuts your diesel consumption and engine maintenance hours significantly.

What happens if my farm operations grow? Our systems are fully scalable. You can easily add more solar panels, increase battery capacity, or integrate a larger generator as your water demand increases.

How long will the system last? We use high-quality components: solar panels generally have a 25+ year lifespan, batteries typically last 10–15 years, and the longevity of pumps and generators is extended through our smart energy management.
