How do you wire a solar pump & solar panel?

Wire the solar pump and solar panels to the DC controller as per the wiring diagram. Make sure the pump and controller are not touching each other. If the wiring is incorrect, the pump will run backwards. Then exchange two wires of solar panel to the correct wiring.

Can I use the DC controller with other solar pumps?

The DC controller must match with the recommended solar pumps. Do not use the DC controller for other pumps. If cause any problems because of this reason. We do not bare any responsibility. Because of the power loss from cable, try to use the shortest cable.

How to connect a DC controller to a solar panel?

Because of the power loss from cable, try to use the shortest cable. While use longer cable, the cable connecting DC controller and solar panels should be over 4mm2 (Do not use single wire type). While the cable between DC controller and pump within 30m, the cable should be at least 2mm2. While over 30m, the cable should be at least 4mm2.

How to select a solar panel power?

When solar panel working, its voltage will decrease, this voltage is called working voltage (Vmp). The Vmp of solar cell needs to be selected according to the solar pump controller's working voltage, and then to confirm the open-circuit voltage (Voc) of solar panel. After that, according to the solar pump power to select the solar panel power.

How much power does a solar pump use?

In order to ensure the rated working time (for example 4 hours a day), the solar panel power equals to 1.5 times of solar pump power. It is the minimum power for choose. That means, if the solar panel power is smaller than the minimum power, the solar pump can work normally but can't reach its rated flow and head.

How do you install a water pump?

You will need a large container so the pump does not pump it dry in seconds. It is used to raise and lower the pump. Never use the power cable to do this. Attach a durable rope or stainless steel cable to the top of the pump using the mounting hole. Make sure the rope or cable is longer than the depth at which you want to install the pump.
