2 Panel Grundfos Fixed Solar Array with Frame, Post and any SQFlex Solar Pump and 2 Kaneka Panels
The 2 panel Kaneka fixed array solar pump unit is the smallest that we supply but, while it may be small, it is big on performance. Grundfos has been manufacturing pumps including solar pumps for many years and the name "Grundfos" is synonymous with exceptional quality, reliability and efficiency. Your solar pump will have a daily task to perform and I am positive that the Grundfos system will be able to perform for many years.
- 2-year Grundfos warranty on the SQFlex pump and motor,
- 1-year warranty on the IW Group fixed array structure,
- 20-year Kaneka warranty on the GEB 60 solar panels,
- 1-year warranty on all other components,
- 5-year workmanship warranty when we install the complete system.
We design, assemble, test and supply the Grundfos solar pumping units with the minimum life span of 25-years as our goal. To achieve this, we only supply the best equipment that has been proven in the field and is manufactured by reputable companies. A Grundfos solar pumping unit is not a cheap unit, is is a combination of exceptionally high quality components that is designed to operate without problems for at least 25-years.
The image above is actually a 3 x GF70 fixed panel array that we installed for Mr Angus Deans on his property at Bingara, NSW. This unit is supplying around 7,000 litres of water per day from a very old gal steel tank burried in the sandy river bank. The total time required for assembly and installation was 3 hours and we had water pumping into the dam by shortly before lunch. This Grundfos solar pump unit will move around 63,875,000 litres of water over the planned life of 25-years. This works out at a cost of $117-40 per million litres of water pumped.
Below is the chart showing the volume of water that can be pumped with a 2 or 3 panel Kaneka Grundfos fixed array solar pump unit. Please note that these figures are for the maximum flow rate calculated on a system installed at Glen Innes, NSW and your figures will be different.

The IO101 controller which is not included in the price of the basic 2 panel fixed array system. This controller provides a cable connection point from the solar panels and to the Grundfos submersible solar pump. It also provides a connection plug so that you can plug directly into any small generator (2.5 kW required) and run the pump for high water flow or in really cloudy weather.
