SolarConnect – The Ultimate Remote Power & Communication Solution

SolarConnect is a flexible, reliable, and essential solution for powering and monitoring hard-to-reach field devices such as booster pumps, flow meters, and many other remote assets. Designed for locations without access to mains power or wired communication, SolarConnect uses a solar-charged battery system and long-range radio communication to deliver seamless integration with new or existing control systems — or to operate completely standalone.

A Complete Solar Power System for Remote Automation

SolarConnect uses high-efficiency solar panels to charge an onboard battery bank, which then powers the control panel and communications equipment. This makes it the ideal solution for remote or off-grid installations where traditional power supply and cabling are not practical.

Advanced Communication Protocols for Complete Field Integration

At the core of SolarConnect is a powerful communication and automation platform engineered to integrate seamlessly with a wide range of field devices. Designed for reliability in remote and industrial environments, SolarConnect enables precise monitoring, data acquisition, and equipment control through industry-standard protocols.

Modbus RTU & Modbus TCP – Seamless Compatibility

SolarConnect supports both Modbus RTU (serial) and Modbus TCP (Ethernet), giving it the flexibility to communicate with virtually any industrial instrument or smart device, including:

• Flow meters

• Booster and submersible pumps

• Pressure and level sensors

• Water quality analyzers

• Motor drives (VFDs)

• Remote I/O modules

• Smart valves and actuators

This ensures effortless integration into new or existing SCADA, telemetry, or automation systems — regardless of the device manufacturer.

Configurable Digital & Analog I/O

The system features highly configurable input and output channels, enabling SolarConnect to interface with both legacy and modern equipment. These include:

• Digital Inputs for monitoring pump run status, fault signals, switches, alarms, and dry-contact sensors

• Digital Outputs for controlling relays, pump starters, solenoids, or remote equipment

• Analog Inputs (4–20 mA, 0–10 V) for precise measurement of pressure, level, flow, temperature, and other instrumentation

• Analog Outputs for controlling proportional devices such as VFDs or modulating valves

This versatility allows SolarConnect to serve as a remote RTU, pump controller, or sensor hub — all powered by solar energy.

Supports Complex Logic & Remote Automation

Through its controller, SolarConnect can execute advanced automation tasks such as:

• Pump start/stop sequences

• Tank or reservoir level control

• Flow-based pumping and dosing

• Alarm generation and remote notifications

• Data logging and historical trending

• Real-time performance monitoring

These capabilities reduce the need for onsite intervention and enable full automation even in locations without traditional infrastructure.

Ideal for Industrial Automation & SCADA Integration

With its robust protocol support and flexible I/O, SolarConnect is perfectly suited for:

• Industrial automation systems requiring remote telemetry

• Water and wastewater utilities needing reliable off-grid control

• Agricultural irrigation systems using pump and flow automation

• Oil, gas, and mining operations with remote monitoring requirements

• SCADA integration for supervisory control and data acquisition

• Environmental and regulatory monitoring in isolated locations

Whether connecting a single sensor or a network of field devices, SolarConnect provides a dependable, scalable, and energy-efficient communication platform for remote operations.
