Solar Water Pumping Systems
SOLASTAR uses nature's most reliable and free asset - the sun. Specially designed for rugged environments and extreme climatic conditions, SOLASTAR is a fully integrated, cost-effective Submersible Solar Powered Water Pumping System requiring minimal skills to install in inaccessible and remote areas.
Applications for solar water pumps are diverse and include stock and game watering from boreholes, rivers and dams, as well as water supply for farm homesteads, holiday homes, water supply for rural communities, clinics, schools etc. Applications can also be used for individual irrigation purposes.
SOLASTAR replace the tradtional windmills and petrol / diesel pumps in most circumstances, and is therefore ideal for all-pupose economic water pumping installations where there is no viable electricity supply.
FEATURES:
The SOLASTAR operates on the positive displacement principle, utilizing DIVWATT'S advanced linear, reciprocating floating piston design, (Patents pending worldwide). The pistons are isolated from the borehole water by ultra high strenght synthetic rubber seals. Pistons displacement or movement is restricted to a maximum of 1mm. which ensures long, service life. No oil lubrication is used on its moving parts as is customary with piston pumps.
SOLASTAR's DCmotors are specifically designed for solar water pumping, resulting in maximum reliability under extreme conditions and minimal expected brush changes (7 years plus). This ventilated, permanent magnet design motor uses an uninque alloy commutator and brush compound, which optimizes its service life to a time span similar to the mechanical parts of the pump.
SOLASTAR,manufactured exclusively from highest quality brass, bronze and stainless steel components, has minimum moving parts.
BENEFITS
SOLASTAR has been specially designed and optimised for solar water pumping in any environment. This has the following benefits where only SOLASTAR, adequately, solves all the following problems commonly encountered :
So, if you are serious about solar water pumps, SOLASTAR, the solar water pumping breakthrough, is your only cost effective solution.
SOLAR POWER OPTIMISER
SOLASTAR features a unique, custom-design Solar Power Optimiser (SPO) mounted on the panel stand.
The SPO is an electronic device that monitors the power supplied by the solar array and automatically converts it to the volt / amps ratio required by the pump to render optimum speed / torque for varying ambient light conditions.
A built-in patented auto start circuit assists in the starting of the motor on low light conditions, thereby assuring early morning starting and efficient operation under conditions of heavy cloud cover.
An intergral control circuit supplied with the elctronics can be connectected to a manual / float switch to stop and start the motor, if required.
WATER REQUIREMENTS
The size of solar water pumping system depends on the volume of water required. Once this has been assessed, the most cost effective SOLASTAR can be selected and installed. Use the following table to calculate your needs.
