Delivering water to consumers uses a lot of electricity. In the era of limited fossil fuel resources, we are increasingly looking at the possibilities of using renewable energy sources to power residential buildings or industries. The research aimed to analyze the potential of producing electricity from photovoltaic panels, ensuring electricity supplies for pumping water, and reducing costs. The tests were carried out using the existing photovoltaic (PV) installation with a capacity of 12.3 kW connected to the installation monitoring the production of electricity and monitoring the water-pumping station (WPS). An analysis of the daily electricity production from the PV installation, an analysis of the settlement unit’s demand for water, and an analysis of the costs of pumping water, including the unit cost of pumping 1 m3 of water, were carried out. Studies have shown the possibility of reducing water-pumping costs by more than 77.8% after a PV installation. The tested installation provided 100% of the electricity necessary for WPS for 167 days a year.
