PSk2 Solar Pumping Systems

PSk2

The Complete Solar Water Pumping System with SmartSolution Hybrid Power

PSk2 is the latest generation of solar water pumping systems for larger projects. PSk2 can operate exclusively on solar power or with our new SmartSolution. PSk2 SmartSolution provides a true hybrid pumping system which automatically can blend grid power and generator power with the core solar power supply.

PSk2 is an advanced solar water pumping system. The system is designed specifically to use the power of the sun to move water, so replacing the need for grid power or diesel.

As solar power is not consistent through the day then PSk2 constantly changes the pump parameters to optimize the amount of water available.

Being designed as an off-grid solar water pumping system, PSk2 has all of the inputs and outputs needed in an integrated self-managing system.

Where water demands cannot be met by solar power alone the hybrid PSk2 SmartSolution seamlessly blends in external power sources on demand.

With PSk2 anything is possible

PSk2 systems are available from 7kW to 40kW with a wide range of submersible and surface pumps and motors.

With PSk2 you will benefit from:

No infrastructure to install

Using solar power means that you can install a pumping system almost anywhere, irrespective of power infrastructure availability and the associated costs. PSk2 is designed for the harshest off-grid environments.

Low operational costs

Operational cost savings are achieved as the system requires no fossil fuels, can be fully remotely managed and is designed to have a long working life. The result is very low, or no operating costs.

Right sizing

With infinite smart motor control PSk2 is very gentle on pump motors, this both extends the system life and allows for any generators that are integrated into the system to be much smaller than for conventional pump systems.

Lowest project risk

As PSk2 is designed to be a complete system, it has all of the needed software and hardware for your water project. The result is that your projects are delivered on time, on budget and without technical risk.

Designed for Solar Water Pumping

PSk2 has been designed from the first white board sketches to be a solar pumping system. The system has been designed and built by an engineering team who only focus on solar water pumping. This experience means they design, test and build systems where operation in the harshest, most remote environments is normal.

Having a great feature set is only part of being a good solar water pumping system, what really matters is how efficient the system is. Efficiency defines how much water it will pump. PSk2 has class leading efficiency and optimized maximum power point tracking for best performance when conditions are not perfect. The system also has active power management to ensure that high ambient temperatures have minimal impact on water output.

SmartSolution Hybrid Power

With our SmartSolution PSk2 becomes a hybrid powered system. Hybrid means seamlessly blending solar power with grid or generator power sources.

The PSk2 becomes the brain of your water system, looking at what power is available, using solar power wherever possible and only starting a generator or putting a load on the power grid when there is not enough sun. This function is not a simple switching system, there is active blending of power sources meaning that your solar investment is fully utilized and that the use of expensive, non-renewable power is minimized.

The PSk2 SmartSolution manages all of this for you, including generator auto start and stop, timed starts and also volume based decision making. This flexibility means that the most efficient and effective solutions can be built to meet any water need.

The Complete Solution

PSk2 is designed to be a complete solar water pumping system comprising of a specialized pump controller and carefully matched pumps. PSk2 has eight sensor inputs that allow analogue and digital sensors to be connected. This combination of sensors with the powerful inbuilt software applications allows for full pump control and water specific applications.

The system also has an inbuilt Sun Sensor which measures the available irradiation and then makes decisions of what to do based on the available power. The Sun Sensor also avoids unnecessary stop start cycles which increase pump wear.

PSk2 is a complete solution “out of the box” without the need for building additional switching cabinets or PLC units.

CONNECTED

The system is configured on site using PumpScanner, an Android™ based App that the installer uses. Common configuration is done with three clicks and there is full access to configure system behaviour based on additional sensor inputs.

The PSk2 constantly records operational data and provides access to rich information for both customers and technicians.

The PSk2 can also be connected to our pumpMANAGER managed service. This is a simple, cloud delivered, pay monthly service that takes away the complexity of remote monitoring and management. One low fee means that you can see exactly what the system is doing, make changes to settings and receive alerts irrespective of location.
