Plenty of Cyprus water needs don’t involve drilling 150 metres into bedrock. Shallow alluvial wells across the Famagusta plain, the Larnaca coastal farmlands and the Limassol-Episkopi belt sit 6 to 18 metres below ground — and so do most agricultural reservoirs and surface holding tanks. The Hybsun 6US1500-20-42E DC solar well pump is engineered exactly for that bracket: a 1,500 W DC solar pump built for high-volume daytime water transfer through a 3-inch outlet. Peak flow 42 m³/h, maximum head 20 m. Stainless steel impeller and stainless oil cylinder. Solar PV-direct architecture — no grid required, no battery storage. Free spare parts package included with every unit.

What It Is
The Hybsun 6US series is built for a specific kind of job: where the water sits close to the surface but you need to move a lot of it.
Think coastal wells, agricultural ponds, irrigation reservoirs, livestock tanks. Depths under 20 metres, but volumes measured in cubic metres per hour, not litres per minute.
The Hybsun 6US1500-20-42E DC solar well pump is the 1.5 kW model. Top flow of 42 m³/h at very shallow lifts, maximum reach of 20 metres, and a wide 3-inch outlet sized for high-volume transfer.
Power: a 1,500 W motor running at 110 V DC, powered by a solar panel array through its matched controller. Sizing the array and picking the right panel string is covered further down the page.
What this means for Cyprus customers: this pump fits shallow farmland wells across the coastal belt. Greenhouse operations. Livestock systems. Irrigation projects where daily volume matters more than vertical reach.
Stainless Steel Construction
Two parts are called out as stainless steel on the Hybsun 6US1500-20-42E DC solar well pump: the impeller (the spinning wet-end component that moves the water) and the oil cylinder (the sealed motor housing). Both matter more than people realise.
Shallow farmland wells in Cyprus don’t have clean water. Sand and fine sediment are higher near the surface. Coastal areas (Famagusta, Larnaca) sit on aquifers connected to the sea, so chloride levels run higher.
On top of that, irrigation systems pick up dissolved fertiliser salts and organic matter from ponds and tanks.
Stainless steel handles all of that without degrading. Plastic impellers (used on cheaper pumps in this class) wear faster against suspended solids. Mixed-metal construction corrodes faster in salty water. Stainless holds up across multiple growing seasons under real Cyprus conditions.
The stainless oil cylinder does a second job: it keeps the motor lubrication sealed against water at the pressures shallow-well pumping produces (around 1-2 bar). Standard housings can leak over time with pressure cycling. This one doesn’t.
The pump uses a 1,500 W DC motor rated at 110 V. It’s built specifically for running directly from solar panels through the matched controller.
Why this matters: a small solar pump runs many hours a day. The less energy is lost between the panel and the pump, the more water you get. Going DC-to-DC directly is the most efficient path for a pump this size — no conversion losses to a household 230 V AC and back again.
The motor sits inside a stainless steel oil cylinder, sealed against water leakage. It cools itself using the surrounding pumped water — which is why the pump must always be submerged. Never run it dry (the controller’s dry-run protection handles that automatically if the well level drops).
This is Hybsun’s 6-inch series pump. It fits inside boreholes of 6-inch (DN150) diameter or larger — the size most Cyprus shallow farmland wells are drilled to.
The Hybsun 6US1500-20-42E DC solar well pump ships with its matched solar controller — a separate wall-mountable unit that sits between the PV array and the pump itself.
The controller sits between the solar panels and the pump. It takes the DC power coming from the panels, tracks the point that gives the most output (called MPP tracking), and delivers it to the motor. All the specific voltage numbers are in the PV Sizing section further down.
The controller does three main jobs. It squeezes the most energy out of the panels as sunlight changes through the day. It regulates the motor speed. And it shuts the pump down if the well runs dry, so nothing gets damaged. It mounts at the wellhead or in a small enclosure nearby.
The controller ships paired to this exact pump model — no field configuration, no compatibility questions. Plug in the panels, connect the pump cable, switch on.
The cleanest way to run a small solar pump is directly. Panels produce DC power. The motor uses DC power. The controller sits in the middle. No inverter converting back and forth. No batteries to store energy overnight. No grid connection to pay for.
This suits Cyprus farming well. Water demand mostly follows daylight — crops get irrigated by day, livestock drink by day, and tanks fill up during the day for use at night. The pump runs while the sun shines. After dark, the system rests.
What you save: a modest battery bank (5-10 kWh) for night-time pumping would add €1,500 to €4,000 to the project. A new grid connection to a remote wellhead means EAC service infrastructure that often isn’t there. Running direct from panels skips both of those costs.
Cyprus is one of the sunniest places in the EU — 2,800-3,000 hours of bright sunshine per year, and around 5.5-6 peak sun hours per day on a well-oriented array. That translates to more than enough energy each day to run the pump at full power for several hours.
Soft start (no inrush damage to the motor), over-voltage, under-voltage, over-current, high-temperature and adjustable speed (frequency conversion). For wells that occasionally run dry, the auto-restart is particularly useful — the pump checks again 30 minutes later instead of needing a manual reset.
Unboxing & First Look
The Hybsun 6US1500-20-42E DC solar well pump kit is in a wooden box with the pump, the DC solar controller, and accessories. Here’s an unboxing walkthrough showing what’s in the box and how the kit goes together:

Who Should Buy This
The Hybsun 6US1500-20-42E DC solar well pump maps to several recognisable Cyprus agricultural and surface-water application profiles. If your project fits one of these, this is likely the right pump:
Hybsun makes several other solar pump models suited to different operating profiles. If the Hybsun 6US1500-20-42E DC solar well pump doesn’t match your project, one of these siblings probably does:
Hybsun sets the minimum panel array as 1.3 × the pump’s power rating.
For the Hybsun 6US1500-20-42E DC solar well pump (a 1,500 W pump), that’s a minimum of 1,950 Wp — about 5 standard 400 W panels. Most real-world installs go higher, to 2,400-3,200 Wp (6-8 panels). The extra headroom covers summer heat losses (panels de-rate 10-15% in high heat), dust buildup between cleanings, and gradual panel aging over the 20-25 year service life.
Wiring the panels: the controller works with panel voltages between 110 and 192 V, and can accept up to 210 V when the array is not producing (open-circuit voltage on cold mornings). With standard 400 W panels, four in series gives a good working voltage (roughly 148 V running, 180 V open-circuit). Five in series pushes too close to the 210 V limit, so stick with 4-panel strings unless you deliberately size panels for it.
Where to face the panels: south-facing works best in Cyprus, with a tilt of 25-35° (30° is a solid all-year compromise). Avoid mixing east-facing and west-facing panels on the same string. If the site forces a split, wire them as two separate strings into the controller.
Hybsun publishes flow vs head data for the Hybsun 6US1500-20-42E DC solar well pump from 42 m³/h at minimal head down to zero flow at the 20 m H.Max ceiling. The table below shows working flow at standard head intervals, transcribed from the published technical data — direct readings, not interpolations.
Read this as: “total dynamic head” sums static water level depth, friction losses through the rising main, and any additional vertical rise from wellhead to your tank or distribution point. Friction matters more than usual at very-deep operation: a properly-sized 2″ main contributes roughly 10-18 m of effective head over a 140-180 m vertical pipe run, depending on the sustained flow rate. Undersized surface pipe downstream of the wellhead can easily cost another 5-10 m.
“Total dynamic head” = static water level depth + pipe friction losses + vertical rise to your discharge tank. Pipe friction in the rising main adds roughly 5-10m to the effective head — the exact figure depends on pipe diameter, total run length, and number of fittings.
What that flow envelope translates into for typical Cyprus agricultural and surface-water applications:
For an exact sizing calculation, send CGP Solar your static water level, daily volume requirement, and target tank or distribution height — we’ll verify the Hybsun 6US1500-20-42E DC solar well pump hits your operating point or recommend a better-matched Hybsun model from the range.
Stainless construction. Many entry-level shallow-well solar pumps use plastic impellers to cut cost. They work — until the water carries sand, organic matter, or dissolved salts.
The Hybsun 6US1500-20-42E DC solar well pump pairs a stainless steel impeller with a stainless oil cylinder. Across real Cyprus conditions (coastal salt exposure, sediment, fertiliser residues), that’s what holds up across multiple irrigation seasons.
Works with off-the-shelf solar equipment. The controller’s voltage range matches standard 4-panel strings of common 400 W modules. No exotic panel specifications, no proprietary components. Source your panels locally, wire them to the controller, run the pump.
Free spare parts kit included. Every Hybsun 6US1500-20-42E DC solar well pump ships with a full spares package — the small wear parts (seals, washers, bushings, brushes) that eventually need replacing after years of duty. Saves a separate maintenance order later on.
The controller handles automated protection with no operator input needed: dry-run shutdown if the well level drops below the pump, over-voltage protection on the panel input (covering the temperature-driven voltage swings between summer mornings and winter mid-days), and error detection for wiring problems at startup.
After a dry-run cutoff, the controller retries by itself once water level recovers. No manual reset needed.
This matters more than it might sound. On conventional grid-powered pumps, each start cycle drives a current spike, a shock through the impeller, and accelerated wear on the motor.
Running direct from panels avoids all of that. The motor speeds up as the sun comes up, slows down as it goes down. No sudden power surges, no shock loads on the pump parts.
Shallow alluvial wells in Cyprus farmland behave differently from deep bedrock sources. They respond quickly to surface recharge but also draw down faster under sustained extraction. Late-summer drawdown is a real concern — the water level can drop past the pump intake during heavy irrigation demand.
The solar controller monitors operating conditions continuously. If pump intake stops receiving water, power cuts immediately. The controller then attempts restart on a timed cycle until water level recovers. No operator intervention, no service call, no risk of pump damage from a temporary drawdown event.
Installing a Hybsun 6US1500-20-42E DC solar well pump typically takes 3-5 working days from start to finish. The straightforward setup and shallow deployment depth keep it much quicker than larger hybrid or industrial pump projects.
Stage 1 — site visit (1 day). We measure your well depth, water level, and expected drawdown, check the well diameter and casing, plan the pipe route to your tank, and pick a panel location (fence corner, rooftop, or ground mount) with good sun exposure through the day.
Stage 2 — quote & ordering (3-5 days). We size the panel array to your daily water needs and panel budget, spec the pipes, plan the controller mounting and wiring, then confirm availability and order the pump.
Stage 3 — installation (1-2 days on site). Lowering the pump into the well takes about half a day at shallow depths. Panel mounting and install takes half to a full day depending on the array size. Wiring the controller and starting up the system takes a few hours.

FAQ’s
Hybsun 6US1500-20-42E DC solar well pump’s peak flow is 42 m³/h at almost zero lift, dropping steadily as the pump works harder. At 5 m head: around 37 m³/h. At 7,5 m: around 33 m³/h. At 10 m: around 27 m³/h. At 12,5 m: around 22 m³/h. At 15 m: around 16 m³/h. At 17,5 m: around 8 m³/h. At 20 m: zero. Pick the pump by your actual total head (water depth + pipe losses + tank height), not by the top number on the box.
The 6US1500-20/42E is a DC solar pump — designed to run directly from a PV array through its matched solar controller. The motor takes DC input at 110 V nominal, not 230 V AC mains. For grid-powered pumping at this scale, Hybsun offers separate AC-mains pump models. If your project needs both solar daytime operation and AC backup at night, the 6USH2200-50/35H is the closer match.
The matched controller has built-in dry-run protection. If the well draws down past the pump intake and water flow stops, the controller cuts motor power before the wet end can be damaged. It then attempts restart on a timed cycle until water level recovers. Shallow alluvial wells in Cyprus farmland are particularly prone to summer drawdown — the protection feature is what makes unattended operation viable through the high-demand season. After a recovery, normal operation resumes automatically. No operator intervention required.
Standard 2-year manufacturer warranty from Hybsun on the pump itself. The Hybsun 6US1500-20-42E DC solar well pump carries CE conformity for EU/Cyprus sale, and Hybsun’s manufacturing facility holds ISO 9001:2015 certification. The DC hybrid controller is IP65-rated — dust-tight and pressurized-water-jet protected — appropriate for outdoor mounting at exposed mountain wellhead locations, or inside a pump shed at agricultural and resort sites.
