Mining

Designed for Practical Mining Requirements

Mining operations place unique demands on water infrastructure — long run times, harsh environments, remote locations, and high operating costs associated with fuel-powered systems.

Outback Solar Pumps designs solar pumping systems specifically to suit mining conditions, with correctly sized pumps, controllers, and solar arrays matched to bore depth, required flow, and site conditions. Our systems are built for continuous duty, high temperatures, and minimal human intervention.

Applications Include:

  • BORE WATER EXTRACTION FOR MINING APPLICATION

  • DUST SUPPRESSION AND HAUL ROAD WATERING

  • PROCESS WATER TRANSFER & STORAGE

  • REMOTE CAMP & SITE WATER SUPPLY

How Solar Pumping Works for Mining Sites

  • Solar panels generate power during daylight hours, eliminating fuel dependency.

  • MPPT controllers optimise power output to ensure stable pump operation across varying solar conditions.

  • High-efficiency pumps deliver water directly from bores to tanks, dams, or distribution systems.

  • System output scales automatically with available sunlight — no operators, no refuelling, no downtime.

Engineered for Reliability in Remote Environments

Outback Solar Pump systems use proven pump technology combined with industrial-grade MPPT controllers and high-output solar arrays. Systems are designed to operate reliably in extreme heat, dust, and remote conditions common across mining regions in Western Australia.

With fewer moving parts than generator-based systems, solar pumping significantly reduces mechanical failure points while delivering consistent water output day after day.

Typical Irrigation System Configurations

  • Direct bore pumping to storage tanks

  • High-volume transfer to dams or tanks

  • Custom high-head or high-flow solutions

  • Multi-stage pumping for long distances

Custom Solar Pumping Solutions up to 30HP

Outback Solar Pumps specialises in bespoke mining-grade solar pumping systems up to 30HP, with a wide range of heads and flow rates available.

Every system is engineered specifically for your site conditions, water requirements, and operational goals — ensuring optimal performance without unnecessary oversizing or wasted cost.
