Solar Force Piston Pump 3020 12V PV Direct

Solar Force Piston Pump draws water from a shallow well, spring, pond, river or tank. It can push water uphill and over long distances for home, village, irrigation or livestock uses. It can use power directly from a photovoltaic array, or from storage batteries, to fill a storage tank or to pressurize water.

Ultra-Efficient: Uses less power than any other pump in its range

Economical: Reduces power system cost by 25-75% compared to centrifugal or AC pumps

Solar-Direct Application: Starts pumping in low light conditions

Pressurizing Application: DC version is most efficient. AC version uses a low-surge permanent magnet motor that greatly reduces starting surge, inverter size, and wire size requirements (when compared to conventional AC pumps).

Rugged and Reliable:

Mechanical Drive: Allows engine or hand-lever backup.

Illustrated Instruction Manual: Makes it easy for anyone to install and service, with no previous experience.

Construction

Suction Capacity

* 25 vertical feet (7.6 m) at sea level. Subtract 1 foot for every 1000 ft. elevation (1 m for every 1,000 m). Suction capacity may be further limited by intake pipe friction. Intake piping should be minimum 1” (3010, 3020 models) or minimum 1 1/4” (3040). For best reliability, place the pump as close to the water source as possible.

System Requirements

* Solar-Direct Systems: Chart indicates power (w) required at the pump. The rated power of the PV array must exceed this number by 20 % or more. A pump controller (linear current booster) is required for the pump to start and run in varying light conditions. A solar tracker may be used to increase daily yield (40-55 % in summer).
* Pressurizing Systems: battery power system, pressure switch, and pressure tank of minimum 60 gallon (230 l) size (captive-air tank, available locally)
