Grundfos solar pump with intelligent features

Grundfos Pumps India Pvt Ltd has launched Smart Solarz, a solar pump for domestic use. This solar powered self-priming pump was conceptualized, designed and manufactured in India. Smart Solarz is lightweight, easy to install and the wet parts of the pump are made of food grade engineered polymers to ensure that it is corrosion free. The Smart Solarz also has intelligent features like protection against dry run and level controls. The pump has a 150W \ 24V BLDC motor. It operates with solar panels of 250W/36V (open circuit). It can be used for water pumping from sump to overhead tank as well as in greenhouses, lawns, gardens, solar powered fountains and for feeding livestock. Smart Solarz is best suited for houses and buildings, which have a ground floor and maximum of two additional floors, in areas where the power supply is poor.
