Gautam Solar recently announced a major upgrade of its solar pump controllers and Remote Monitoring Units (RMUs) for solar PV systems.
The solar pump controllers have homegrown variable frequency drives & remote monitoring units tuned for 1 – 10 HP of solar pumps (DC / AC & surface / submersible). The solar pump controller converts the DC voltage of the SPV array into a suitable DC or AC, single or multi- phase power includes MPPT, remote monitoring, and protection devices.
MPPT is an algorithm that is included in the pump controller used for extracting maximum available power from SPV array under a given condition. The RMUs for Solar pumps works on MQTT protocol and monitors solar system performance, pump performance, RMS performance and geo location.
Gautam Solar’s latest innovations will be an advantage for farmers and solar pump system integrators who will now have all solar pump components compatible with one another from a single source and manufactured in India. For farmers and solar pump system integrators, it would be easy to procure warranty from a trustworthy local brand without chasing different manufacturers for service, the company said.
Live integration
According to Gautam Mohanka, CEO Gautam Solar, “It is our greatest pleasure to announce the launch of 2nd generation of Gautam Solar pump controllers, which come with MPPT, remote monitoring, and protection devices. It is very important because 10 per cent of KUSUM project’s payment is linked to live integration of RMU. We are delighted to announce that greater than 95 per cent of Gautam Solar’s RMUs are integrated live on the PM-KUSM portal, which is the highest in the industry. This ensures that the cash flows of Solar Pump system Integrators working in Government projects are very smooth, thus enabling them to do the sizeable number of solar pumps.”

PM-KUSUM
According to the government’s ambitious programme of PM KUSUM, a total number of 17.5 lakhs solar pumps will be installed in off-grid areas, where grid supply is not available. Hence, Gautam Solar with ‘Made in India’ initiative aims to share its expertise in developing and manufacturing of products in the sector, as recently under the PM-Kusum Yojana, the company had installed 5000+ solar pumps all over India.
