Altivar Solar variable speed drive is a smart variable speed drive for pumps from 0.37kw to 15 kw (0.5HP to 20HP) with Photovoltaic arrays. Altivar Solar variable speed drive for the pump is compatible with a wide range of pumps and solar arrays which helps reduce the number of components, increasing the reliability and service life of the installation, and adjusting the pump flow to the availability of the energy. The drive embeds solar-specific functions to address advanced application requirements and improve pump performance. These functions ensure more pump availability while reducing the total system cost. Altivar Solar Drive provides easy assistant setup for non-expert user. Altivar Solar includes auto adaptive algorithm as per environmental changes. Altivar Solar variable speed drive utilizes IoT-enabled remote monitoring and control through Schneider Electric's "EcoStruxure Livelihood" platform to ensure system reliability, support performance monitoring, and track impact.

The Environmental Benefits

  • Integrated MPPT Algorithm: The ATV320 solar drive incorporates a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm, which allows it to maximize the energy harvested from solar panels
  • The ATV320 solar drive offers built-in protections for the solar installation, ensuring reliability and safety
  • User-Friendly Interface: The ATV320 solar drive is equipped with an intuitive user interface, enabling easy configuration, monitoring, and maintenance of the drive within solar installations
  • The use of solar drive pump systems results in near-zero GHG emissions during their operational phase

The Financial Benefits

  • Solar pump drive-based solutions are clean and sustainable, reducing carbon emissions and environmental impact, which can have indirect economic benefits through improved public perception and potential regulatory advantages
  • Once installed, the operating costs of a solar pump drive-based solution are significantly lower compared to grid or diesel generator solutions. Solar energy is essentially free once the infrastructure is in place, whereas grid electricity or diesel fuel
