Solar Pump Solution

How will you benefit?

If weather conditions aren’t favorable, the drive will automatically select the AC power source, e.g. grid or generator, or a hybrid, to ensure the most efficient continued pump operation. With an environmentally friendly, pollution and noise-free solution all the features you’ll need are already programmed into the drive. You’ll see the benefits in reduced running costs, lower energy requirements and a quick return on investment. 

	Reduce energy, extend life-cycle On average, 85% of a pump’s life-cycle cost is attributed to its energy consumption, therefore, optimizing energy usage can mean a significant reduction in the total cost of ownership. Along with enabling the use of solar power, our drives thrive on delivering more efficient ways of operating your variable torque application.
	Reduce risk Control Techniques’ Solar Pump Solution offers a host of dedicated features including dry-run prevention, pipe fill, pump cleaning and level switch control including control modes covering both single & parallel pump configurations. These embedded features will reduce operational risk and protect your pump for longer.
	Speaks your language You don't need to be a drive specialist to set-up the Solar Pump Solution. Our Connect programming and commissioning tool makes this simple, with easy-to-follow guided pages. Our approach to clear parameter naming and structuring and the use of familiar terminology ensures an intuitive user-friendly solution.
	Drive for all motors Our M600 drives are the perfect match for the most efficient motors on the market today, meeting IE5 efficiency levels, such as the Nidec Leroy-Somer Dyneo+ hybrid permanent-magnet motor. Our drives give you choice, to choose your preferred motor, with the confidence that the M600 drive range will enhance its performance and save you money every day.

Hassle-free power flexibility for continuous operation

Control Techniques Solar Pump Solution provides reliable pump control, no matter what the weather. Once set-up, the drive can be configured to automatically connect to an AC power source for operation outside daylight hours or as a ‘Hybrid’ System, blending Solar & AC to achieve maximum benefit of your solar investment without affecting performance.
