SOLARJACK'S HIGH VOLTAGE PC SERIES PUMP CONTROLLERS 

 
SOLARJACK'S PC series controllers are state-of-the-art solid state power 
converters designed as an interface between a SOLARJACK pump and the DC power 
source. The purpose of this controller is to maximize the total daily water 
output while providing protection for the pump as well as the power source.  
 
The unique features incorporated in this controller will protect the pump system 
insuring many years of dependable, trouble free service. When used in a solar 
panel direct system it provides protection for the pump from over-voltage and 
over-current conditions and will provide current boosting in low sunlight 
conditions.
