We keep water flowing – Powering irrigation systems, water quality monitoring and water process control.

It takes a significant amount of energy to pump, treat, and deliver clean water. As a result, cities and private entities across the United States are increasingly turning to solar power to improve efficiency and reduce costs in their water and wastewater treatment operations. By integrating renewable energy with critical infrastructure, municipalities and organizations can ensure reliable service while lowering their long-term energy expenses.

Beyond powering treatment facilities, solar energy plays a vital role in monitoring systems for water and wastewater management. Remote monitoring stations track flow rates, water quality, pressure, and system performance, often in locations far from utility power. Solar-powered battery systems make it possible to operate these monitoring devices continuously, ensuring accurate data collection and real-time communication without relying on grid access.

In addition, solar monitoring systems enhance resilience and reliability. Traditional grid power can be vulnerable to outages or disruptions, particularly in rural or hard-to-reach areas. Solar with battery storage ensures uninterrupted operation, which helps utilities detect leaks, identify contamination, and manage pumping systems efficiently. This reliability not only protects water quality but also helps operators reduce costs associated with downtime and emergency repairs.

Finally, adopting solar-powered monitoring solutions supports broader sustainability goals. Water and wastewater facilities are often among the largest municipal energy consumers. By offsetting energy use with solar, operators reduce carbon emissions while meeting regulatory and environmental requirements. As demand for clean water grows, solar-powered systems provide a cost-effective, scalable way to monitor and manage this essential resource.
