Solar Pumping Controllers

Lorentz Low Water Sensor Probe

Lorentz Water Level Probe

The Lorentz Low Water Probe contains a mechanical float with a magnet that actuates a switch. If the water level drops below the probe, the controller will stop the pump and the "Low-Water OFF" light will indicate. When the water level recovers, the controller will restart the pump after 20 minutes, giving time for the water level to recover. It is also possible to force a restart by turning the controller off, then on again.

Universal Solar Pump Controller

AV developed the Universal Solar Pump Controller (USPC) to facilitate access to water in remote areas such as ranches and villages, particularly in developing nations, where electrical infrastructure is not available. This versatile, high-performance, variable speed motor controller is used to convert solar energy to electricity to power pumping devices.

 With a power conversion efficiency of 97% peak-power tracking, the USPC is most commonly used for water pumps, but has also been used for other solar motor driven applications, including oil, water purification (reverse osmosis), refrigeration/freezers, and other pumping applications.
