Driving Submersible Pumps with a Solar Pump Drive

Submersible pumps in off-grid water projects turn solar availability into a controlled pumping task, and a solar pump drive is the catalog item that links PV supply to pump operation.

Why Submersible Pumps Need a Dedicated Solar Pump Drive

Submersible pumps often operate in well or borehole settings where grid power is unavailable, so the pumping task is controlled by solar energy availability. In the Boray catalog, BR600-P Solar Pump Inverter and BR500-P Solar Pump Inverter are listed as solar pump inverter products for pump-driving applications.

Choosing Between BR600-P and BR500-P

For a submersible pump application, the selection starts with the pump system requirements and the available catalog options. Boray lists both BR600-P Solar Pump Inverter and BR500-P Solar Pump Inverter as solar-pump-inverter products, so the drive choice should be based on the pump configuration rather than assuming one model replaces the other.

Matching the Drive to the Pump and Power Source

A solar pump drive for a submersible pump should be matched to the pump motor and the DC supply arrangement. The catalog names indicate pump-specific inverter products, including BR600-P Solar Pump Inverter and BR500-P Solar Pump Inverter; for 380v pump accessories, LV60-90 DC voltage booster for 380v pumps is listed.

Using the LV60-90 DC Voltage Booster Accessory

When a submersible pump installation calls for the 380v pump accessory option in the catalog, LV60-90 DC voltage booster for 380v pumps is the listed item. It should be considered as part of the pump drive system, not as a separate grid inverter.

Application Checklist Before Commissioning

Before energizing a submersible pump with a solar pump drive, confirm the selected drive from the catalog, such as BR600-P Solar Pump Inverter or BR500-P Solar Pump Inverter, and any listed accessory such as LV60-90 DC voltage booster for 380v pumps. The final system should be reviewed against the pump’s actual voltage class and installation requirements.
