ABB solar pump drive ACQ80

A sustainable solution for water pumping in Australia.

Emission-free sustainable pumping is now available, thanks to the ACQ80 solar pump drive. 

This drive is an innovative solution that uses solar power as a clean energy source for pumping water.

Powered by the sun when available and the grid when not, the ACQ80 solar pump drive keeps water flowing, hour after hour. 

With best-in-class features, your drive stays operational 24/7.

How it works

All-compatible ACQ80 solar pump drives enhance the methodology of water pumping by putting the sun to work for all water pumping needs.

From dawn to dusk, the drive operates without energy costs easily and safely, keeping CO₂ emissions to zero.
