SOLAR VSD
ZENER 8000 ECODRIVE®
Harvesting free power from the sun is an ideal method to eliminate the high cost of pumping whether using a generator or power from the grid. With a correctly optimised system you can use the power from the sun to fill a storage tank or irrigate with constant pressure. A water storage tank becomes an economical alternative to storing power in batteries, where gravity is the energy source at night.
The Zener ECODRIVE® solution is a Solar Variable Speed Drive with a built-in Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) controller to achieve the maximum power from the Solar Array under all conditions. The ECODRIVE® also includes Zener’s sophisticated motor control algorithm designed to achieve maximum motor energy efficiency. The ECODRIVE® is versatile, offering enormous flexibility for system integrators or OEMs with its internal logic functions, programmable I/O and ability to communicate with other equipment. The ECODRIVE® can operate standalone Solar or as a hybrid (or blended system) using an auxiliary supply. The auxiliary supply may be single phase (240V 0r 480V SWER) or 3 phase from a generator or mains grid.
