Assembly · Step 1 of 6
HQ shipping container
A 40 ft high-cube container. It stands up to the weather and arrives at the farm by truck.
Assembly · Step 2 of 6
Solar pump inverter
It turns the energy from the panels into the current that drives the pump, and adjusts the pump speed to the light available at every moment.
Assembly · Step 3 of 6
Protection panel
It receives the cables from the panels and protects the inverter and the pump against surges and short circuits.
Assembly · Step 4 of 6
Water pump
It draws water from the pond and pumps it through the pipe to the orchard.
Assembly · Step 5 of 6
Solar panels
On the roof, a tilted frame holds the panels facing the sun.

Wiring and start-up
The panels connect to the protection panel, the protection panel to the inverter and the inverter to the pump. The system is then ready to work on its own.
A day in the orchard · 1 of 4
Sunrise
At first light, the inverter starts the pump on its own. Water leaves the pond and heads for the orchard.
A day in the orchard · 2 of 4
Full sun
The more sun, the faster the pump turns and the more water arrives. The irrigation channel spreads it along every furrow.

Sunset
As the sun goes down, the pump slows and, when there is no longer enough light, it stops on its own.

Night
With no power grid and no diesel, the system waits for the next day to start again.
Automatic solar irrigation
The sun waters your orchard
Every day it starts and stops on its own, powered by its panels, without you having to keep an eye on it.
The system
The whole pumping
system, inside a container
An HQ shipping container holds everything you need to irrigate with solar energy: the panels on the roof and, inside, the inverter, the protection equipment and the pump.
- 40 ft HQ shipping container
- Photovoltaic solar panels on a tilted frame
- Solar inverter for water pumping
- Protection panel
- Water pump with suction and discharge pipes
- Automatic start and stop, from sunrise to sunset
Advantages
Built for the countryside
Five reasons to irrigate with the energy of the sun.
Energy from the sun
It pumps with the energy from its own panels, so irrigation adds nothing to your electricity bill.
No grid, no diesel
It doesn't depend on the power grid or a generator, even on remote farms.
Fully automatic
It starts with the sun, adjusts the pump to the available light and stops on its own in the evening.
Protected equipment
The protection panel and the container itself keep the inverter and the pump safe.
All in one container
Panels, inverter, protection equipment and pump arrive together, ready to be placed next to the pond.

Talk to a technician How it works
From the sun to the furrow
The energy from the panels drives the pump while there is light, and the water goes from the pond to your fields without you having to do anything.
1 · CaptureSunThe panels on the roof turn light into electricity.
2 · ControlInverterIt starts the pump and adjusts its speed to the available light.
3 · PumpingPumpIt draws water from the pond and pumps it through the pipe.
4 · IrrigationOrchardWater reaches your fields every day, from sunrise to sunset.
Applications
Orchards
Irrigating orchards and fruit trees with water from the pond.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions
What happens when there is no sun?
The pump runs on the energy from the panels: it starts on its own when there is enough light, adjusts its speed throughout the day and stops at nightfall.
Does it need a grid connection?
No. Pumping runs on the energy from its solar panels, so it also works on farms with no access to the grid.
Do I have to keep an eye on the irrigation?
No. The inverter starts and stops the pump following the sunlight, fully automatically.
Where does it take the water from?
It is designed to draw water from a pond and take it to the fields. If your water source is different, tell us about it and we will work out the best solution.
How does it get to the farm?
All the equipment goes inside a shipping container, which is transported by truck and placed next to the pond.
