Solarize Your Pump — Pump Solarization
Already have a pump? Convert it to solar and stop paying for grid power or diesel.
Already have a borehole, surface pump, or irrigation pump running on grid power or diesel? You don't need to start from scratch. Zukel specializes in pump solarization — converting your existing water pumping system to run on solar power using Variable Speed Drive (VSD) controllers and matched photovoltaic arrays.
- On-site assessment of your existing pump and water needs
- Solar retrofit design matched to your specific pump (no unnecessary replacement)
- VSD booster pump controller integration for consistent pressure & soft-start protection
- Installation by licensed engineers, with after-sales support

3. Testing & Energy Logging
Testing & Energy Logging
Precision Electrical Safety Verification & 24-Hour Load Profiling for Reliable Power and Pumping Infrastructure.
Zukel Integrated Services Ltd conducts instrument-grade electrical testing and continuous 24-hour energy logging for residential, commercial, agricultural, and industrial facilities across Kenya.
Tab 1: Testing
- Insulation Resistance Testing: Measures dielectric resistance across cables, solar DC strings, and motor windings using calibrated Megger insulation testers to detect moisture ingress, cable degradation, and ground faults early.
- Earth Resistance Measurement: Evaluates earthing electrode and earth pit impedance against surrounding soil to ensure safe fault-current and lightning surge dissipation in compliance with EPRA and IEEE standards.
- Winding Resistance Testing: Measures DC ohmic balance and coil continuity across three-phase submersible and surface pump motor stator windings and transformers to prevent stator overheating and VSD trips.
Tab 2: Energy Logging
- 24-Hour Load Profiling: Continuous high-resolution time-series logging of active/apparent power and per-phase current draw across a full operational cycle to identify peak demand patterns, inform accurate solar PV and BESS battery system sizing, and support KPLC tariff and cost analysis.
