Solar-Powered MDF Kit Valve Activator for Remote Irrigation Systems with Battery

Product Specification

Solar-Powered MDF Kit Valve Activator for Remote Irrigation Systems with Battery Backup

Product Description:
The Solar-Powered MDF Kit Valve Activator brings automated water management to the most remote and off-grid locations, making it a cornerstone technology for modern agricultural irrigation, remote pipeline control, and environmental monitoring. This complete system integrates a high-efficiency electric actuator with a compact solar panel, a charge controller, and a long-life battery pack. It is designed to operate reliably using only solar energy, opening and closing irrigation valves or pipeline ball valves on a pre-programmed schedule or upon command from a central SCADA system via integrated radio (GSM, LoRa, etc.). The robust, weatherproof enclosure protects the electronics from rain, dust, and extreme temperatures. The built-in battery backup ensures continuous operation through the night and during periods of limited sunlight, guaranteeing that critical water control functions are never interrupted. This MDF Kit Valve Activator eliminates the need for expensive grid power connection or generator maintenance at remote sites, offering a sustainable, cost-effective, and highly reliable solution for optimizing water usage and increasing crop yields in agriculture or managing fluid assets in isolated areas.

Bullet Points:

• A self-sufficient solution for remote irrigation systems and off-grid applications.

• Complete kit includes solar panel, charge controller, and battery backup.

• Enables scheduled or remote-controlled water flow management.

• Reduces operational costs by eliminating the need for grid power.

• Robust and weatherproof design for long-term outdoor deployment.

Specific Application Scenario
In a large-scale vineyard, these activators are deployed across rolling hills to automatically control zones of drip irrigation, ensuring each section of vines receives the precise amount of water based on a pre-set schedule, all powered by the sun.

Factory Production Floor
The final assembly involves integrating the actuator with the power system. Each kit is fully charged and subjected to a simulated low-light test to verify the battery backup system engages correctly and maintains operation.

Packing and Transportation
The entire kit is shipped in a single, robust box with custom foam inserts to secure the actuator, solar panel, and battery. The packaging is weather-resistant to protect the contents during outdoor storage on-site.

FAQ
1. How long can the system operate on battery backup alone?
The battery backup is sized to provide several days of autonomous operation without sunlight, depending on the frequency of valve cycles, ensuring reliability during cloudy weather.

2. What methods are available for controlling the actuator remotely?
It can be controlled via GSM/SMS commands, long-range radio (LoRaWAN), or satellite links, making it ideal for widespread remote irrigation systems.

3. How does this system improve water flow management?
It allows for precise scheduling and zoning of irrigation, enabling water flow management that prevents over-watering and under-watering, conserving water and improving crop health.

4. Is the system vulnerable to theft or vandalism in remote areas?
We offer optional security brackets and tamper-proof enclosures to deter theft and vandalism of the solar panel and control unit.

5. What is the maintenance routine for the solar system?
Maintenance is minimal. We recommend periodically cleaning the solar panel surface and checking the electrical connections for corrosion, similar to any other remote irrigation systems component.
