Complete SE1000 kit – everything you need Included
Our pump systems are designed for efficient, year-round operation, but perform best during spring and summer. Follow this guide for proper setup, seasonal adjustments, and maintenance to maximize performance and longevity.
Discover the operational principles and realistic performance expectations of your energy-efficient water pump system throughout the seasons. This guide helps you understand your system's capabilities and how to maximize its potential.
1. Operating Principles
Energy Collection
The panel captures sunlight and converts it to electrical energy
Energy powers the pump directly or charges the battery (in backup models)
System activation depends on light intensity and system type
Performance varies significantly with weather conditions
System Types
Direct Systems: Operate only with sufficient direct sunlight
Battery-Backed Systems: Store energy for more consistent operation
Hybrid Systems: Combine immediate operation with energy storage
Each type offers different benefits depending on your needs
2. Realistic Performance Expectations
Direct Systems Performance
Operation strictly dependent on available sunlight
Flow varies continuously with passing clouds
May start and stop multiple times on partly cloudy days
Strongest performance during midday hours with direct sun
No operation during evening or overcast conditions
Battery-Backed Systems Performance
More consistent operation throughout the day
Continues running during brief cloudy periods
Provides operation after sunset (1–8 hours depending on model)
