4 Inch Low Voltage DC Solar Borehole Motor and Controller, 0.55 kW 48 V

Description

Overview

This is a 4 inch brushless DC (BLDC) submersible motor rated 0.55 kW at 48 V DC, supplied with its matching low-voltage solar controller. It fits the standard 4 inch 4SD pump ends and goes into boreholes of 100 mm and larger, so you can turn a borehole pump into a solar pump, and Kamano delivers it nationwide.

Motor and controller are matched at the factory, and the controller runs straight from the solar panels, so the set suits off-grid farms and homes where there is no mains supply.

On panels, the manufacturer specifies 2 x 550 W solar panels for this motor, about 1,100 W in total. Smaller panels mean you need more of them, and your installer can confirm the wiring for your site.
