Pentair Pentek Solar Drive at a Glance
*
The Pentair Pentek Solar Drive PSD25PB, also known as the Pentair Pentek Solar Drive
Power Blender, is a device that seamlessly blends energy between a solar array and
the power grid. It is ideally suited for applications that require 24/7 or some nighttime
operation, particularly in areas with high power costs. This unique solution represents
a cost-effective way to intelligently supplement solar power with controllable nighttime
operation without the expense of adding a bank of
batteries.
During times of full solar irradiance, the Pentair Pentek
Solar Drive PSD25PB will draw all power from the PV array.
When cloud cover or darkness reduces the level of solar
irradiance, the system will automatically draw power from
the grid to make up the difference. As dusk approaches
and turns to night, the system will draw all of its power
from the grid. This enables power firming during the day
and full nighttime operation while consuming as little
power from the grid as possible.
As shown in the diagram below, most of the daytime
operation is effectively off-loaded from the grid.
Qualified to run with a Pentair 4" submersible pump, this is
particularly useful in areas with high demand charges or
time-of-use pricing. For best use, applications with little
to no human contact are strongly suggested.
If necessary, the power blending capability can be turned
OFF using the AC Source switch on the right-hand side of
the Pentair Pentek Solar Drive PSD25PB.
