Harnessing the Power of the Sun

Dive into an eco-friendly and efficient way of circulating water in your swimming pool or Koi pond. Utilize the abundant African sunlight with the BADU®Solar Smart pump, specifically engineered to convert the sun’s rays into functional energy.

Key Features:

1. Photovoltaic (PV) System Integration: The unit’s solar panels absorb sunlight, generating DC electricity. This energy then gets relayed to the controller box positioned on the pump, enabling its operation.
2. Flexible Power Options: The pump can be powered solely by solar energy or paired with grid power, ensuring uninterrupted water circulation regardless of weather conditions.
3. Optimal Solar Panel Positioning: For peak power generation, install the solar panels facing true North in the Southern Hemisphere and true South in the Northern Hemisphere. Adjust the tilt of the panels to your location’s latitude (e.g., 33˚ for Cape Town).
4. Exceptional Build Quality: Crafted from top-notch materials, every BADU® unit promises superior durability and performance.
5. Dual Power Modes: The BADU®Solar Smart seamlessly integrates solar and grid power to deliver uninterrupted water quality.
6. Direct Photovoltaic (PV) Source: Benefit from a direct connection to solar panels, translating sunlight into functional DC electricity.

Specifications:

• Output Performance: Comparable to a standard AC pump.
• Control Panel: Intuitive and user-friendly.
• Motor: Permanent Magnet Brushless DC Motor.
• Variable Speed Drive: Built-in for adjustable speeds.
• MPPT Feature: Maximizes motor power.
• Built-in Protections: Safeguards against high temperatures and voltage fluctuations.
• Cold Resilience: The drive can operate in sub-zero temperatures.

Solar Panel Recommendations:

To maximize the performance of the BADU®Solar Smart, we advise using:

• 2 x 550W solar panels. If this isn’t feasible, opt for 4 x 380W solar panels, setting up two panels in parallel and two in series. Ensure (Voc≈100V, Vmp≈72V).
