The Outback Pioneer AC/DC Hybrid 3" Solar Pump Kit is a powerful off-grid water pumping system designed for medium-depth bores and higher pressure applications where entry-level solar pumps reach their limits. Featuring a 600W brushless DC submersible pump and AC/DC hybrid MPPT controller, Pioneer delivers strong pressure performance while maintaining the simplicity and reliability of direct solar operation.
Engineered for remote Australian installations, the Pioneer pump utilises a helical rotor pump design capable of delivering up to 100 metres of head, making it ideal for tank filling over long vertical distances or supplying pressure-demanding off-grid systems. Built from corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel, the pump is designed for continuous submersion and long service life.
The included AC/DC MPPT controller allows the system to operate directly from solar panels or auxiliary AC power sources when required, providing flexibility for sites that demand consistent water availability regardless of sunlight conditions.
