Applications
The
Universal Solar Pump Controller is a versatile, high performance,
variable speed motor controller for solar powered pumping
applications using pumps from I/3 HP to 5 HP.
- Livestock
watering
- Village
water supply
- Irrigation
 Versatility
The
USPC will power ANY standard three phase or
three wire single phase pump motor. Less costly, locally made
and serviceable pumps may be used. The USPC can be powered
by ANY photovoltaic technology including single or poly-crystalline
silicon and thin-film arrays.
Performance
A
power conversion efficiency of 97%, peak-power tracking and
variable speed operation maximizes your system performance
to get the most water from your installation.
