Solar Power & Pump Company, located in Elk City, OK, was founded in 1998 by CEO/Owner Dennis 
Austin.    Dennis  graduated  from  SWOSU  in  Weatherford,  OK  with  a  B.S.  in  Industrial  Technology.  
He  spent  many  years working  all  over  the United  States  building  advanced  systems  including,  but 
not limited to, remediation equipment, pumps and controllers, emergency power systems, as well as 
programming  automated  systems  and  controls.    Eventually,  he  moved  back  to  western  Oklahoma 
and his family roots, and began selling and installing solar water pumping systems.  Noticing some 
trends  and  possible  positive  changes  within  the  machinery  and  design  of  the  current  systems  out 
there, he decided to branch out and have his own solar submersible pump designs manufactured. 

In 2008, SunRotor

®

 Solar Products was born.  Using knowledge gained from  throughout his career, 

paired with the knowledge passed along from family in the water business, the first highly efficient 
and affordable SunRotor

®

 solar pump was introduced to the market.  Since then, more models have 

been added, as well as new features, with new and innovative designs and functions planned for the 
future. 

In late 2013, Solar Power & Pump Company expanded once again, this time purchasing a well-known 
and established solar surface pump line, Dankoff Solar out of Santa Fe, NM.  Dankoff Solar has been 
offering  solutions  for  solar  surface  water  pumping  applications  for  36  years,  and  perfectly 
complements the SunRotor

®

 solar submersible pump product line.  Pairing the two products, many 

of  our  customers  are  finding  new  and  inventive  ways  to  meet  any  number  of  water  demand 
applications. 

It is the goal of Solar Power & Pump Company to not only bring the most efficient and cost effective 
products  to  the  market,  but  to  continue  to  grow  the  industry.    Currently,  there  is  new  technology 
being developed, with hopes of changing how the world meets their water delivery needs.  

One  of  the  biggest  factors  in  Solar  Power  &  Pump  Company’s  success  has  been  its  growing  dealer 
base.    Their  eager  willingness  to  provide  the  highest  level  of  customer  service  has  been  without  a 
doubt pivotal to the company’s continued growth and success.  These values and work  ethic, which 
are  well  known  in  the  South  or  any  small  farming  community,  have  expanded  well  beyond  the 
region, and are now experienced throughout the global market in a manner that makes us all proud. 

Last,  but  certainly  not  least,  thanks  need  to  be  given  to  the  loyal  Solar  Power  &  Pump  Company 
customers.    Through  their  patience  and  understanding,  a  wonderful  partnership  has  been  formed, 
and  their  word  of  mouth  has  been  some  of the  best  advertising  ever experienced.    For that,  thanks 
alone could never be enough. It is the hopes and dreams of Solar Power & Pump Company that all 
the work put into new product development, as well as continuing to make the current products both 
more efficient and cost effective, will show our vast gratitude.  Please never hesitate to contact us by 
any  form,  be  it  phone,  e-mail,  or  website  submission  for  any  number  of  reasons—product  inquiry, 
suggestions, etc.  Thank you again.
