Solar Water Pumps (SWP) have been installed in Indonesia to pump and drain water to meet the people’s basic needs for water availability. The installation of SWP in Indonesia is largely a government project to help reduce the water crisis that often occurs in remote areas with limited electricity and the difficulty of fuel oil. The efficiency of installed SWP can decrease and its performance is not optimal, it can even experience system failure if it is installed, used and maintained not according to procedures. The purpose of this research is to find out the problems of installing SWP in Indonesia. This research uses descriptive qualitative research methods to describe, describe and explain the problem of installing SWP in Indonesia systematically through case studies on 25 SWP installations in Indonesia. Problems with installing SWP in Indonesia mostly occur in the photovoltaic installation section. Incorrect installation and lack of maintenance of the PV system will cause shading problems resulting in a hot spot area, which is permanent damage and requires calling. The use and installation of inverter / controller components, pumps and installation accessories are good and there are no significant problems because they are already using standardized components and the installation does not require special methods and specifications. The improper use, installation and maintenance of components or parts in the SWP system will cause the SWP performance to be suboptimal.
