PV550 Solar Pump Inverter for Livestock Drinking Water — A Typical Off-grid Ranch Scenario
日期：2026-09-14 浏览次数：12
The following is a typical PV550 application scenario for 'livestock drinking water'. Parameters are common-config examples, not a named customer delivery contract.
1. Background
A remote ranch (a few hundred head of cattle / sheep) has unstable or no grid coverage; livestock drinking water long depended on a diesel generator pumping water plus manual water trucks — costly and unreliable, especially in dry season.
2. Configuration
| Item | Typical config |
|---|---|
| Pump | Three-phase submersible / surface pump (~1.5–2.2 kW class, sized to head / flow) |
| Inverter | HBDTECH PV550 solar pump inverter, matched to pump motor with headroom |
| PV array | Sized to local daily irradiation and daily drinking demand; panel power ~1.2–1.5× pump power |
| Storage | Storage tank / tower covers night and low-light periods |
| Protection | Water-level sensing + dry-run protection against empty-well running |
3. Operation
In daylight, PV550 uses MPPT to track max power and drives the pump on PV alone into the storage tank; when grid is available, automatic PV/grid switching supplements supply in low-light and dry periods. The system runs unattended; upkeep is just periodic panel cleaning and inspection.
4. Value
Versus diesel and water trucks, solar livestock watering removes ongoing fuel spend and refill labor, sharply lowering long-term cost with zero on-site emissions — ideal for sunny, grid-weak ranches.
