Key Features:

Electronics

0.5HP (373W) solar power pump – operating from multiple panel configurations from 100 to 500W
Integrated water flow and tank overflow sensors for an automated and simple operation of the pump system
Battery Mode Controller – for operating with multiple battery voltage levels and integrated battery protection
Advanced Motor and PV Controller – for integrated Maximum Power Point Tracking and variable speed operation
Application interface for pay-as-you-go available

High efficiency brushless DC Motor developed by ennos. Maintenance-free operation for over ten years
High overall system efficiency which means that less solar panels are required in comparison to competitors for the same performance
High torque and power capability enables a wide flow and pressure rang

PCD – Progressive Cavity Displacement – pump for constant flow regardless of pressure
Very robust
Low maintenance
Can lift water up to 60 meters
Output of up to 25’000 litres per day in solar mode
Output per day can be increased if pumping hours are extended with a battery

Bluetooth interface to monitor the performance of the pump and diagnose technical problem
Integrated Data Logger for monitoring and research (statistic operation data)

According to Global Leap Award 2019: Best performance in comparison to competing products
No electricity, no diesel required
No running costs
Very low maintenance and repair costs
Android app available to monitor performance of the pump and visualise logged data
Multiple use system: The excess energy from the solar panel that is not used for pumping can be stored in a battery to power other appliances (e.g. light, phone charging, cooling, refrigerator, TV etc.) or to extend pumping hours during peak dry season

The sunlight pump can be directly connected to a solar PV panel between 100 to 500 Watt or to a battery
Very compact design design (L575mm x W200mm x H270mm) and low weight (14kg) make the sunlight pump portable which allows for sharing of the pump among farmers and easy positioning in the field
Pressure side hose lengths up to 5'000m possible
Versatile use system: Perfect match with drip irrigation, sprinklers and filter for drinking water
