The fish cultivator group “Mina Makmur” manages tilapia nursery ponds. The group faced a problem, namely: the growth of fish fingerlings was not assuring, and their bodies looked weak. This phenomenon is assumed to be due to poor pool water quality, which affects the lack of oxygen. The solution given is that the fishponds require an aerator. The solar-powered aerator was a choice to minimize operational costs. This paper aimed to design and install a solar pumping system as an aerator in a fishpond. The design begins with a site survey. A water pump was selected based on survey results. The solar module was designed using the current concept. The result of the design of the solar pumping system was that it requires a DC water pump with a power of 26.4 W and a solar module with a capacity of 60 Wp. The solar module was installed in a location free of shade and as close to the pump as possible, and the pump was placed outside the pond. These designed and installed solar pumping systems were functioning correctly. The resulting water discharge was 3.03 liters/minute at an average solar irradiance of 795.46 W/m2.
