Grundfos SQFlex Pre-designed Solar Water Pumping Kit using 3 sqf-3 pump 2.5 to 2

Grundfos SQFlex Pre-designed Solar Water Pumping Kit using 3 sqf-3 pump 2.5 to 2 gpm, 260 to 655 feet lift 5 Yr Warranty

This Grundfos Predesigned Solar water pumping kit includes 2 x 330w Solar Module wired in series (positive to negative) for high voltage input to the pump and or controllers. From the solar panel array we would go to the MNPV3 combiner box using the included MC4 extension cable. The Grundfos solar water pumping kit include a top of pole solar panel mount is made specifically for these solar panels. The customer is responsible for purchasing the schedule 40 steel pipe the mount requires. This pipe is normally available locally at fencing suppliers or steel suppliers. The included grounding lugs for the solar panels and mount will connect to a customer supplied 6awg bare copper stranded wire to the combiner box and then to a grounding electrode driven near the array into the ground.

In the combiner box we would have a 15a DC breaker rated for 150vdc for up to 3 panels or a 15a 300vdc breaker for up to 6 panels in series for arrays of 8 panels we would suggest two 300vdc breakers in the combiner box. The combiner box would also house a lightning arrestor.

A lightning arrestor is required with the Grundfos extended warranty (not included with this Grundfos Solar Water pumping kit). The Extended warranty extends the warranty period to a total of 5 years. From the combiner box the positive and negative outputs would go to the Grundfos CU200 controller and then directly  to the Grundfos SQflex 3 SQF 3 pump itself. The Grundfos SQflex pump has a total of three wires. The yellow and green wire is the ground with the other two wires being non polarity sensitive. The wire is connected to the pump via the included underwater splice kit. 

The Grundfos CU200 controller provides a combined status and control unit for the SQFlex pump kit system. The CU200 includes a digital display that provides information on the power the pump is using and will display fault codes for troubleshooting the system if needed. Additionally, the CU 200 enables connection of a level switch placed in a water reservoir or tank. A reverse action pressure switch is used in situations were a float valve is required in most cases this is due to the 2000 feet max distance between the cu200 and the float switch. We have found also that keeping the cu200 and pump within 650 feet is preferred.

The Optional Grundfos IO101 controller ( not included) provides easy transfer between the solar array and an ac source such as a generator or grid power. The US version of the IO101 can only take max of 120vac even though Grundfos SQflex pump is good up to 240vac.

The 10/2 with Ground submersible pump cable is not included since the placement of the pump in most cases varies, in calculating the flow rates and vertical lift the calculations are based on the static water level rather than the pumps depth in the well. The Grundfos SQFLex pumps have a maximum submergence level of 500 feet from static water level.

Depending on the distance from your solar panels to the well head you may want to run underground feeder cable (UF wire) to save money and splice in the submersible pump cable at the well head. The connection to the pump would be done with an underwater splice kit.

There are also additional items to complete the system that are generally available locally and include:

• 6 awg copper stranded wire for grounding solar panels to combiner and then to electrode.
• 8’ Grounding electrode and wire clamp
• Concrete and rebar for the mount hole (we can provide dimensional drawing for hole)
• sch 40 steel pipe for mount
• Screws to mount combiner box and controller to the pole/mount.
• Zip ties to attach MC4 extension cables to mount frame.
• Electrical Conduit to go from solar panels to combiner box and then to below ground
• ??’ 10/2 w/ ground UF wire from combiner box to well head, you could use same sub pump cable although UF wire is cheaper.
• ??" diameter drop pipe to pump,  diameter dependent on pump model.
• 3/8 “ Polypropylene Safety rope (not required if using galv steel pipe)

1530W Flexpower Off-Grid Pre-Designed Solar System incl Mount and 24v 856AH Battery Bank

This expandable 1,530 watt off-grid system has a pre-wired power center that makes it easy to install. The OutBack Flexpower is pre-wired with all of the essential protective devices in the smallest possible space at the lowest installed cost making it ideal for applications with modest power requirements such as cabins, weekend get-a-way homes, and remote communication sites as well as back-up power systems homes. Utilizing an extremely compact design and an easy-to-install mounting bracket, the fully pre-wired and tested Flexpower ONE System is engineered for a quick installation, saving both time and money. The pre-wired power center comes with an OutBack charge controller already mounted. OutBack charge controllers have maximum power point tracking with an efficient, safe, multi-stage recharging process that prolongs battery life and assures peak performance from the 1,530 Watt solar array. With a 24v battery bank the FM80 charge controller can take up to 2,400w of solar power, however because we need to keep the series strings of panels in sets of three panels ( due to the Max Voc input of 150V to the charge controller) a total of 9 x 255w solar panels can be used with the FM80 charge controller.

Flexpower by Outback includes a single AC inverter, AC and DC wiring boxes, a single Flexmax battery charge controller, MATE monitor, HUB, Flexnet DC and lighting surge protector. All this wrapped up in a 1,560w off-grid kit with a small power center footprint. The Flexpower System is also equipped with battery and breakers, a GFDI breaker, an input-output-bypass assembly, mounting locations for both AC GFCI Type B and EU Type F style outlets and additional AC breakers.

This expandable system has 25 year guaranteed UL listed solar panels, UL listed combiner box and we supply all the connectors from the panel to the box. You supply the conduit and wire from the box to the power center which is indoor rated. The 1,530 watt Off grid system is the only choice when you need a fully integrated off-grid system with pure sine wave inverter all pre-wired ready for you to add your own rack or select one of ours. With this pre-wired system you can save yourself thousands of dollars over the cost of hiring a contractor to install your system.

What's included:

• 6 - 255 Watt Solar Panels (Canadian Solar)
• 1 - Outback FlexPower One FP1-1 Power Center Fully Assembled
• Prewired AC and DC boxes with 120VAC Bypass and Type B Outlet
• 250ADC breaker GFDI
• 80 amp Power Center breaker
• Outback VFX3524 Inverter or GVFX3524 Inverter

Lead Times for Shipping

Panels and balance of system ship in 3 - 5 business days after funds clear. OutBack FLEXpower™ ONE FP1-GVFX3524 power centers are usually in stock but are subject to inventory availability. Because of the popularity of the FLEXpower™ ONE; allow 10 business days to ship. (Subject to Seasonal Increases)

Off Grid or Grid Tied

FLEXpower™ ONE FP1-GVFX3524 & FP1-GVFX3648 inverters are designed to work off-grid and also interact with the grid to back feed power. If you have a generator you should be aware that the GVFX3524 inverters will only sync with Honda EU generators because they produce pure sine wave power. If you intend to use your system completely off grid (No Grid Tie Ever), you may want to have us switch to the VFX3524 inverters for your FLEXpower™ ONE system at no additional charge to you because the VFX3524 will interface with a wider variety of generators. Should you choose to make that change, just notify us in the comment box at the time of checkout or when you are contacted by the technical consultant assigned to your purchase.

Mounting and Battery Options

Roof or ground racks and batteries are included in the base price of the kit however there are other options available for mounting such as top of pole or the more economical rail systems to meet individual's specific property requirements. There are options available also for sealed  maintenance free batteries.

Other Materials Needed

Some additional items sourced from your local hardware store that you may need to purchase are: Conduit, appropriately sized electrical wire from the combiner box to the location of the power panel, some fasteners, sealant, grounding rod and wire to complete the final connection to your main panel or sub panel.
