0.6kW Kunda Solar Borehole Pump – 70m Head, Brushless DC Deep Well Pump

The Kunda 0.6kW Solar Borehole Pump is a 600W DC-powered water pumping solution designed for reliable borehole water extraction in off-grid and low-grid environments. Built for solar operation, it helps users access water without depending on fuel-powered pumping systems or unstable utility power. With a maximum head of 70 metres, this pump is suitable for moderate-depth boreholes, elevated storage tanks, livestock watering, small-scale irrigation, and domestic water transfer.

In the Kenyan market, where consistent access to water and electricity can be a challenge, this pump offers a practical and energy-efficient solution for homes, farms, schools, and remote sites. Macire supplies the pump with technical guidance on sizing, solar matching, and installation requirements. Macire also supports product verification, delivery, and after-sales assistance to help customers achieve dependable field performance.
