This efficient, submersible, diaphragm pump will deliver up to 230 feet of vertical lift and is ideal for deep well or freeze-prone applications.
Remember, you’re only lifting from the water surface, not from the pump. In a PV-direct application it will yield from 300 to 1,000 gallons per day depending on lift requirements and power supplied.
Solar submersible pumps
Solar submersible pumps are best used for slow steady water production into a holding tank, but may be used for direct pressurization applications as well. Flow rates range from .5 to 1.8 gpm depending on lift.
The pump can be powered from either 12- or 24-volt sources. Output is best with 24-volt panel-direct. The best feature of this pump, other than proven reliability,
is easy field serviceability. No special tools are needed. Repair parts sold below. Diaphram will require replacement at one to five year intervals depending on how hard it's working.
In addition to the pump you will also need:
- PV modules & mounting appropriate for your lift
- A Controller for panel-direct systems (PV Direct Controller 25-002 for 12V or 24V operation, see link below)
- 1/2-inch poly drop pipe or equivalent
- 10-gauge submersible pump cable (must be flat
style, see link below)
- Poly safety rope
- Sanitary well seal

The pump is 3.75 inches in diameter (will fit standard 4-inch well casings), weighs 6 pounds, uses 1/2-inch poly delivery pipe, making easy one-person installation possible.
Drop pipe, submersible cable, rope, and seal are all commonly available at any plumbing supply store.Watertight splice kit for flat cable is included. (12-volt performance will be approximately 40%)
PV Direct Pump Controllers
These current boosters from Solar Converters will start your pump earlier in the morning, keep it going longer in the afternoon, and give you pumping under lower light conditions when the pump would otherwise stall. Features include; Maximum Power Point Tracking, to pull the maximum wattage from your modules; a switchable 12- or 24-volt design in a single package; a float or remote switch input; a user-replaceable ATC-type fuse for protection; and a weatherproof box. Like all pump controllers, a closed float switch will turn the pump OFF, an open float switch turns the pump ON.
Four amperage sizes are available in switchable 12/24 volt. Input and output voltages are selected by simply connecting or not connecting a pair of wires. Amperage ratings are surge power. Don't exceed 70% of amp rating under normal operation. The 7-amp model is the right choice for most pumping systems, and is the controller included in our submersible and surface pumping kits. 7- and 10-amp models are in a 4.5" L x 2.25" W x 2" D plastic box. 30-amp model is supplied in a NEMA 3R raintight 10" x 8" x 4" metal box. |
