In cooperation with KSB and Fuji-Electric, VISPIRON developed an optimized and preconfigured turnkey solar powered water pump system designed to a logistic concept in standard containers.

Our system stands out through the ability to power high volume pumps directly from the solar Photovoltaic system to extract water from even hundreds of meters deep wells.

The system is adaptable and will be configurated to meet the project requirements and reach maximum economic and technical efficiency.

With the provided monitoring and controlling system, the operator, provider or any responsible institution can remotely access the system to monitor and analyze relevant parameters and data as well as control the operation at any time and from any place.

➔ Maximize efficiency and environmental sustainability! ➔ Prevent excessive extraction!

PRECONFIGURATED AND OPTIMIZED SOLAR PUMP SYSTEM

• Pump design and material selection in accordance to the water demand and water quality. For

example, pumps in Duplex material for pumping saline water

• Various solar mounting options: Ground mounted, Roof top mounted or floating solar

• Supporting power supply by grid, energy storage or generators possible for operation times exceeding

the daily sun hours

• Single or multi pump solutions: Powering one or more pumps with one solar plant

• Effective pump management with the provided control and monitoring system to reach highest usage

of the solar energy → maximum savings

• The SOLAR PUMP SYSTEM can be designed for entirely NEW projects. EXISTING pump systems can

also be upgraded to a solar pump system to eliminate or significantly reduce the costs of grid energy

or generator fuel

WATER PUMP SYSTEM BY

a

The premium pump manufacturer KSB designs each pump and drive to match the specific application, fluid

and power requirements - which puts you on track for energy-efficient operation and low life cycle costs.

Thanks to the many combination options customers can configure the right pump for every requirement,

application and project size. Submersible borehole pumps achieve heads of up to 1,550 meters, equaling

pressures of more than 150 bar.

KSB can provide tailor-made pumps. The fluid to be pumped determines the selected pump materials - pumps

with cast casings – to ensure a long pump lifetime and excellent performance.

SOLAR SYSTEM DESIGN BY

High quality solar components sourced from the biggest and most reliable suppliers for a maximum system performance.

Depending on the available area, project conditions and clients demands, various mounting system options can be used: Ground mounted, Roof top or floating solar

A comprehensive design and layout of the project are done by highly experienced engineers. All project conditions, such as: available area, type of soil, available water surface (for floating solar) and common weather conditions, are taking into consideration to provide a long lasting system.

The floating solar provides a solution with no occupation of valuable farm land for the solar system. Due to the natural cooling effect from water, it can increase the system output while reducing water evaporation.

A single pump is supplied by the photovoltaic energy only. Very simple and autonomous.

Example of a daily operation profile:

More than one pump is supplied by the photovoltaic energy from one solar plant. The System provides the needed pump management to maximize the use of all available solar energy

Example of a daily operation profile of 3 pumps using pump management:

Off grid Solar Pump Systems with isolated photovoltaic power plant - single pump

Off grid Solar Pump Systems with isolated photovoltaic power plant – multi pump

Solar Pump Systems with supporting power supply (grid or generator)

Solar Pump System with integrated energy storage systems (battery)

The Solar photovoltaic power plant can be supported by any other source of power such as grid connection or diesel generator (Backup supply). This system significantly reduces the costs of grid energy or generator fuel.

Example of daily profile of the energy supply for 24h operation

An energy storage can be integrated to the system to provide longer operation times exceeding the daily sun hours. Furthermore, it can provide Micro-Grids (AC island Grid) to supply additional consumer (e.g. light)

12

The constant energy yield of PV modules and the proper operation of the system greatly depends on its maintenance. VISPIRON in cooperation with KSB, Fuji-Electric and our specialized local partners have the necessary know-how an experience to ensure the expected reliable system operation.

The maintenance services include:

• Online-Monitoring of the system (via the remote monitoring and controlling system)

• Repair works in case of defects

• Annual on-site inspection including an inspection report
