BADU Solar Smart
Self-Priming circulation solar pump
Turn free sunlight into energy!
Due to innovative technology we can now offer as the pioneers in the industry solar power direct
to your Speck Pumps swimming pool or Koi pond pump with the new BADU Solar Smart.
The African sun is what we are most renowned for and with excellent weather like this is ideal for
solar power - Photovoltaic (PV) systems with 365 days giving an average of almost 9 hours a day
of sunlight; more then enough to run your swimming pool or Koi pond pump. The BADU Solar Smart is supplied with DC power from the PV-panels directly to the pump. Most solar pumps on the market are running on DC power and these pumps generally cannot provide the output performance of a normal AC pump. This is not the case with the BADU Solar Smart pump. This is a DC pump with the performance of an AC pump.
Get ready to pull the plug on load-shedding and electricity bills for your swimming pool!
This is how our BADU Solar Smart works: Sunlight shines on a solar panel creating DC electricity. The electricity flows then from the panels through to the controller box mounted on top of the pump and the pump is now operational.
The 2 x 550W panels get installed facing true North if you are in the southern hemisphere and true South, if you are in the Northern hemisphere, and they need to be tilted the same angle as your house?s latitude, e.g Cape Town is 33?, Durban is 29?, JHB is 26? and Pretoria is 25? to generate the best possible power.
The BADU Solar Smart can run on solar only or in conjunction with power from the grid, which is great news for Koi enthusiasts. All you will need is a DC-AC converter. The BADU Solar Smart is designed to use solar power 1st and then with a flick of a switch, power from the grid. It?s that simple.
