Solar Pump™ Introduction

The sun powers the Thermo Dynamics Solar Pump™ - no batteries, no high-voltage electricity, no engine consuming gasoline or diesel fuel - only harmless, low-voltage, solar-generated electricity, eternally available and pollution free. The Solar Pump™ system consists of a rotary vane pump driven by a photovoltaic (PV) powered DC motor and controller. The PV module drives the DC motor via a built-in linear current booster (LCB) with differential temperature controller, and utilizes a proportional speed control strategy achieved by the variable output of the PV module. This ensures maximum performance at all levels of solar irradiance and enables the Solar Pump™ to begin pumping with as little as one watt of power (one-tenth of a full sun, 100 W/m2)!!

Flow rates of the Solar Pump™ range from 0.3 liters/minute (0.1 USGPM) to 12 L/m (3.2 USGPM) depending on the model. Head up to 35 m (115 ft). Pressure up to 3.5 bar ( 50 PSI).
