Solar Panels

Multi solar panels are vital to maximum plunger lift system performance.

The solar panel's main function is to provide a recharging electrical current to the battery that operates Multi’s family of electronic controllers.

The use of a solar panel reduces the need for battery replacement dramatically. Saving one day of production from a low powered battery can more than pay for a solar panel.

Multi has engineered its solar panels to match the demand placed on the battery by the controller. A current regulator allows the needed power to be passed to the battery. (Note: the battery will not receive unregulated power; preventing overheating and/or damage to the battery)

Multi recommends the use of a solar panel with the Max series controllers to prevent potential damage. Each Multi Solar Panel is “Current Matched” to your Multi controller to prevent damage from overloading.

Multi Solar Panels are equipped with all mounting brackets and hardware to mount them at your well. A 6-foot shielded and grounded cable is supplied.

Note: A ground Shield should always be installed for all electronic peripherals.

The controller and solar panel are certified by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) as approved for use in Class 1, Division 1, Groups C & D installations when attached to a Max controller with the CSA Label.
