The Outback Pathfinder AC/DC Hybrid Surface Solar Transfer Pump Kit is a powerful solar-powered water transfer solution designed for tank filling, irrigation supply, dam pumping, and general off-grid water movement where a surface pump is preferred over a submersible system. Built around a robust 800W brushless DC motor and hybrid MPPT controller, the Pathfinder delivers dependable water transfer using solar power while still allowing optional AC input from mains or generator if required.
Designed for reliability in remote Australian environments, the Pathfinder features durable internal components including a brass impeller, copper motor windings, and high-quality bearings, ensuring long service life under demanding operating conditions. The intelligent AC/DC MPPT solar controller automatically prioritises solar power while providing seamless backup when needed.
Capable of delivering up to 37 LPM flow and 62 m head, this surface solar pump is ideal for transferring water between tanks, pumping from dams or creeks, supplying irrigation systems, or providing reliable off-grid water distribution where moderate pressure and consistent daily operation are required.
