Pentair Pentek* Solar Drive At A Glance - Pentair Pentek Solar Drive PSD30 Installation And Operation Manual

PENTAIR PENTEK
The Pentair Pentek Solar Drive PSD30 is an off-grid solar controller that can operate any
approved Pentair Pentek submersible motor loads or operate approved alternative three-phase
alternating current (AC) motor loads up to 2HP single-phase/ 3HP three-phase from solar
photovoltaic (PV) power.
To size the solar PV array to your specific motor, please
consult with your local dealer or Pentair. A typical
diagram for a Pentair Pentek Solar Drive operated solar
water pumping system is shown in Figure 1. The solar PV
array should be connected to the Pentair Pentek Solar
Drive controller via the integrated DC Disconnect. The
Pentair Pentek Solar Drive controller should be installed
in the shade (potentially mounted under the PV array) and
away from the direct sun.
The Pentair Pentek Solar Drive can accept up to two
digital sensor inputs. For example, in solar water
pumping applications, an optional float switch can be
connected to the Pentair Pentek Solar Drive to monitor
when a water tank is full, or a pressure switch can be
used in combination with a pressure tank.
