Lorentz Solar Pumps gaining an excellent reputation.


  This Lorentz solar pump station replaced an old Southern Cross windmill which had a long history of needing a high level of maintenance. OH& S was also a consideration in replacing the windmill, as servicing windmills has a built in risk factor, working at heights. A diesel powered pump jack had also been used on this site, delivering water from a bore to a remote tank. It utilises 4 x 170 Watt panels and is set  at a depth of 45m. It has so far provided trouble free operation and will significantly cut down on maintenance costs.
