Guides & Selection
Solar Pump Guides & Selection for Inverter, System Design and Installation
When a pump project comes in, we do not start with a product name. We start with the motor nameplate, the water duty and the installation site.
These three guides keep that process clear: choose the right drive, design the full system, then install and diagnose it in the field.

Each guide has a different job. The selection guide chooses the drive. The design guide builds the package. The installation guide gets the system running and helps diagnose faults.

Selection Guide
Choose between solar pump inverter, PV pump controller, submersible pump controller and solar pump VFD paths.
Open selection guideBuild the package
System Design Guide
Match pump, PV array, inverter or controller, cabinet, sensors and accessories into one workable system.

Installation Guide
Use factory settings, quick wiring steps and error code checks to start the pump safely.

After the guide, go back to the correct product path
Guides should not replace product pages. Once the decision is clear, use the catalog and model pages for final product details.
Main Catalog
Solar Pump Inverters
Use this page as the main product route for SP1-SP4 and related systems.
High Power
380V / SP4 Path
For deep wells, large irrigation and three-phase pump motors.
Controllers
SP5 / SP6
For PV pump controller and protected submersible controller work.
Package
Kits & Accessories
For matched pump, drive, panels, sensors and field accessories.
Engineering Workflow
The order we use when checking a new solar pump inquiry
1. Read pump data
Voltage, phase, kW, current and cable distance.
2. Check water duty
Well depth, head, flow and daily running hours.
3. Pick drive path
Inverter, controller, VFD or complete kit.
4. Confirm field setup
PV strings, cabinet, sensors and quick startup.
FAQ
Guides & Selection FAQ
Use these answers to decide which guide to open first.
Which guide should we read first?
If you are not sure whether the project needs an inverter, controller or VFD, start with the selection guide. If the product path is already clear, move to the system design or installation guide.
Do these guides replace product pages?
No. The guides explain how we choose and install the equipment. The product details still live on the Solar Pump Inverters catalog and the SP model pages.
Can we send pump data before reading every guide?
Yes. A pump nameplate photo, head, flow, cable distance and project country are enough for SolarSeeker to start the first engineering check.
Why keep Guides & Selection separate from Blog?
Guides & Selection is for project decisions and field work. Blog articles can go deeper into a single topic such as panel matching, VFD compatibility or fault analysis.
Need a fast check?
Send the pump nameplate and site data
We can tell you which guide and which product path to use before you spend time preparing the wrong quotation.
