Solar Motorized Ball Valve for Remote Irrigation

Place control at a remote field line

The pictured system combines a ball valve, enclosed actuator and separate solar panel. It provides powered zone operation where a dedicated mains connection may be inconvenient.

Match communication and installation

Select the listed line size and verify actual pipe connections. Confirm communication method, compatible control equipment and any gateway requirement. Position the panel clear of seasonal crop shade, support the valve and test commanded movement after installation.

Plan the valve and panel as an installation

The product photograph shows the panel separated from the valve and a protective enclosure over the actuator. Decide where both components will sit before finalizing the pipe layout. Keep access to the enclosure and connection joints, and confirm the mounting arrangement supplied with the selected configuration. Check seasonal shade from crops, structures and equipment when choosing the panel position.

Commission remote control at the field location

Test the intended control connection where the valve will operate, since a successful setup near a gateway does not establish communication at a distant field. Observe actual opening and closing of the water line after issuing commands. Keep the valve supported so the actuator and panel do not carry pipe strain. During routine visits, inspect the enclosure, visible wiring and panel for damage or obstruction. Isolate the water supply before removing the valve for maintenance.
