SMS controllers run small motors using our proprietary SMS High Frequency Interlaced Booster technology to increase the voltage output from fewer panels. ONLY SMS can run an 180v motor on a single 36v panel.
SMS controllers include built-in MPPT (Multi Power Point Tracking) to maximize solar input and balance the optimal input source using our proprietary Differential Source Balancing.
Technology that puts money in your pocket
The project: Filling animal water tanks in an off-grid location. Water source is a nearby pond. The setup requires between 3,000 and 4,000 gallons per day.
3-phase motors are more cost effective
In general, 3-phase AC motors offer more features, are more efficient and provide a better power factor than single-phase motors. AC motors have no capacitors or internal switches to wear out – they are more reliable, lighter, requiring less maintenance. The combination of free DC power and high-efficiency AC motors produces a more cost-effective solution than fuel-based systems for many small to mid-sized off-grid jobs.
The typical lifespan of a 3-Phase motor is 10+ years vs. 3 years or less for DC or single phase. Advanced SMS controller technology means that you need fewer panels (less cost, less space) for the same amount of work. Now you can run high-efficiency AC motors with no fuel costs and less maintenance – No brushes or capacitors to replace! SMS controllers run AC motors like no other system can. Our advanced features and proprietary technology is unmatched.
More usable power each day.
In low light conditions when other systems shut down or fail to even start, an SMS controlled motor keeps running. Our Advanced SMS software controls automatically adjust for maximum motor performance. When input power fluctuates (dawn, dusk and shadowing), the SMC recalculates for the compensated run sequence and automatically adjusts the motor at a revised speed and torque based on the available light. When sunlight falls below critical lighting minimum the motor will stop and attempt a restart with the available light at revised torque and speed.
Pure digital power – motors run better and last longer.
Clean AC power and advanced Digital Signal Processing (DSP) practically eliminates electrical and electromagnetic noise, resulting in quieter, smoother, low-heat operation of 3-phase motors. Useful features eliminate the common conditions of heat and stress that cause motors to fail: soft-start, speed and torque control, ability to reverse the motor, temperature management, overload and over-voltage protection.
Advanced and proprietary SMS technology.
100% utilization of solar and predictable, programmable operation.
SMS Smart Controllers are The Internet of Things (IoT) enabled (Solar+Battery and Solar+Grid/Generator Systems). The interconnection of these embedded devices enables advanced remote monitoring and control of systems.
Advanced Digital Signal Processing practically eliminates electrical and electromagnetic noise by standardizing the states of a digital signal – motors run better and last longer!
Built-in Charge Controller (Solar+Battery Systems) enables 100% utilization of the solar input and predictable output performance – even with no sun!
Built-in Differential Source Balancing (Solar+Grid/Generator Systems) – Select the preferential source (free solar) while ensuring predictable output performance! Clean, digital AC power reduces peak power requirement – and your electricity bill – by soft-starting the motor and reducing start-up (inrush) current. Also eliminates the need for mandatory capacitors for PF compensation for inductive loads.
