What It Is
The Hybsun SSP1200-19-31D DC solar pool pump and the standard SSP1200-C share most of the spec sheet — same 1200 W rated power, same maximum head and flow figures (19 m and 31 m³/h), same NSK bearings, same alloy mechanical seal, same warranty. But there’s one meaningful performance difference: the D version delivers more flow at the head levels most pools actually run at. Look at the manufacturer’s performance curve and you’ll see the D curve sits noticeably above the C curve through the middle of the operating range — at around 10–15 m³/h flow, the D version produces roughly 1–2 m more head than the C does. That’s a real, measurable advantage in everyday operation, not a marketing detail.
The reason is electrical: the higher 96 V bus voltage means the motor pulls less current for the same power, which means lower I²R losses in the windings and DC cabling. More of the solar power that enters the controller actually reaches the water. On top of the performance gain, the higher PV string voltage also accepts longer DC cable runs and simpler wiring on larger arrays.
The pump runs directly from your solar panels — no grid hookup, no electricity meter, no inverter. The full Hybsun SSP DC system is just three parts: the pump, its DC solar controller (included in the box), and your solar panels.
Motor Technology
DC Brushless permanent-magnet synchronous motor
The Hybsun SSP1200-19-31D DC solar pool pump uses the same DC brushless permanent-magnet synchronous motor as the standard 72 V SSP1200 — same flow performance, same internal hardware. That means NSK bearings (a top Japanese bearing brand used in industrial equipment), an alloy mechanical seal for chlorinated pool water, and a double water seal to keep everything waterproof and leak-proof. What’s different on the D version is the electrical side — it accepts a 96 V PV input instead of 72 V, which we cover in the controller and PV sizing sections below.
Every Hybsun SSP1200-19-31D DC solar pool pump ships with its own DC solar controller — an IP65-rated waterproof box that wires between your panels and the pump. It tracks the maximum power point of your PV array (MPPT) to pull the most power available, handles up to 15 A on the input side, and shows live power, voltage, current and motor speed on an LED display. The controller can adjust pump speed automatically to follow the sunlight, or you can lock it to a fixed speed manually. The only real difference from the C-version controller is the input voltage window — 96 V instead of 72 V — to match the higher PV string voltage.
Soft start (no inrush current damage to the motor), dry-run protection (pump stops if there’s no water, auto-restarts 30 minutes later), over-voltage, under-voltage, over-current, high-temperature, and adjustable speed (frequency conversion). The controller automatically starts and stops the pump based on solar conditions.
Unboxing & First Look

Who This Is For
The Hybsun SSP1200-19-31D DC solar pool pump is for installations that benefit from either better mid-range pump performance, a higher-voltage PV string, or both. The performance advantage over the C version is real but modest — you get a bit more flow at the head levels most pools run at. The PV string advantage is more dramatic: 96 V strings cut DC cable losses, allow longer runs, and simplify the layout on larger arrays. Common cases where the D version makes more sense than the C:
If you’re not sure whether the Hybsun SSP1200-19-31D DC solar pool pump is the right size for your pool, the simplest test is to talk to us with your pool dimensions and existing plumbing layout — CGP Solar will recommend the right model from the SSP DC range. All four models share the same 2″×2″ plumbing, motor platform and DC controller architecture, so you can compare them on flow, head and price alone:
PV sizing for the Hybsun SSP1200-19-31D DC solar pool pump follows the same rule as the rest of the SSP range: panels should add up to at least 1.3 × the pump’s rated power. For the Hybsun SSP1200-19-31D DC solar pool pump that’s at least 1560 Wp of solar panels (typically 4 or 5 panels arranged into 96 V strings — usually 3 panels in series rather than the 2-in-series layout used by the C-version). The 30% extra covers the everyday losses that pull solar panels below their nameplate rating in real conditions: heat, dust, cable losses, panel ageing.
The Hybsun SSP1200-19-31D DC solar pool pump accepts a PV string running at 96–192 V Vmp, with open-circuit voltage below 210 V. That’s a wide range — wide enough for the controller to stay locked on MPPT through the temperature swings and partial shading of a typical Cyprus day. The “D” suffix marks this as the 96 V version, designed for PV strings with longer DC runs or larger arrays where 3 panels in series is the natural configuration.
Pool turnover is the time it takes the pump to push every drop of your pool through the filter once — it’s how pool pumps are sized. Most pool service guidelines recommend at least one full turnover every 6–8 hours to keep the water clear and the chemistry consistent. The table below shows realistic turnover times for the Hybsun SSP1200-19-31D DC solar pool pump against typical large pool sizes, allowing for the usual 5–8 m of head losses from pipes, fittings and the filter:
A quick note on the 31 m³/h figure: that’s the manufacturer’s maximum free-flow rate, measured with no plumbing connected. In a real pool installation, the pipes, fittings, valves and filter all add resistance, so the actual flow ends up lower. The estimates above use a more realistic working figure that reflects what the Hybsun SSP1200-19-31D DC solar pool pump actually delivers in a real installation. For exact figures on your specific pool, send CGP Solar your pool measurements, plumbing layout and filter model.
The headline specs of the SSP1200-C and Hybsun SSP1200-19-31D DC solar pool pump look identical on paper — same 1200 W, same 31 m³/h max flow, same 19 m max head. But look at the actual performance curves on the Hybsun datasheet and you’ll see that the D curve sits above the C curve through the middle of the operating range. At a typical pool operating point of around 10–15 m³/h, the D version produces roughly 1–2 m more head than the C version. The reason is the higher 96 V bus voltage — lower current for the same power means lower resistive losses in the motor windings and DC cabling, so more of the solar power your panels produce actually ends up moving water. The maximum figures (Q.Max, H.Max) are the same on both versions; the working performance is a bit better on the D.
The other side of the 96 V design: it accepts a higher-voltage PV string (3 panels in series rather than the 2-in-series typical for the 72 V C-variant). Higher string voltage means thinner DC cable for the same power, longer runs from the panels to the controller without unacceptable voltage drop, and fewer parallel strings on larger arrays. On commercial-scale or multi-property installations, that simplifies the whole layout.
The Hybsun SSP1200-19-31D DC solar pool pump uses NSK bearings — a Japanese bearing brand picked by manufacturers worldwide for industrial-duty applications. Combined with an alloy mechanical seal and a double water seal design, the pump is built to handle the long daily run-times of continuous pool circulation. Hybsun specifically calls this out as “offering the longer working life” on the manufacturer datasheet — and the same hardware spec runs across the whole SSP range, so you’re getting the same internals on the D version as on the C.
The DC controller uses a soft-start feature that ramps the motor up to speed gradually instead of slamming it on at full power. That avoids the inrush-current spike that wears out brushed and AC motors over thousands of start/stop cycles — and it’s one of the reasons Hybsun can offer a 2-year warranty on a pump that runs every day all summer.
The controller’s frequency-conversion function automatically adjusts the Hybsun SSP1200-19-31D DC solar pool pump speed through the day to track however much solar power is available — so the pump keeps running at the highest speed your 96 V panel string can support, rather than stopping when clouds pass. You can also set the speed manually to a fixed value, which is useful if you have downstream equipment like a salt chlorinator that needs predictable flow.
The 2″ suction and discharge connections on the Hybsun SSP1200-19-31D DC solar pool pump match the standard size used in residential and small commercial pool plumbing across Cyprus. That means the pump installs onto your existing pool pipework with no adapter fittings and no re-plumbing — same footprint as the AC pool pump you’re replacing. For new pool builds, 2″ is also the standard pipework size for villa and small hotel pool installations, so the Hybsun SSP1200-19-31D DC solar pool pump fits straight into typical pool plant room designs.
Cyprus electricity is among the most expensive in Europe — currently around €0.32 per kWh for residential customers per the Electricity Authority of Cyprus — and pool circulation runs every day through the swimming season. The SSP1200-Hybsun SSP1200-19-31D DC solar pool pump takes that whole load off your bill. The good news on timing: pools genuinely need circulation most when the sun is up — chlorine burns off fastest, algae grows quickest, and evaporation peaks in daylight — which is exactly when the Hybsun SSP1200-19-31D DC solar pool pump is producing maximum flow.
Typical project timeline from first contact to commissioning is 4–8 days: site survey and sizing (1–3 days), system quotation (1-2 days), delivery and pump swap, PV array and controller install (1-2 days — onto your existing 2″×2″ pool plumbing and commissioning under solar power with homeowner walkthrough (same day). We handle the whole job across Cyprus — Nicosia, Limassol, Paphos, Larnaca and Famagusta.
CGP Solar specifies the Hybsun SSP1200-19-31D DC solar pool pump for projects across Cyprus where the PV array design favours a 96 V string — large residential villas, commercial pool sites, multi-property complexes, and any installation with longer DC runs. We work directly with your solar installer (or design the array ourselves if you don’t have one yet) to ensure the PV configuration matches the pump’s 96 V Vmp range. Same flow as the standard SSP1200, sized for bigger or more flexible solar arrays.

FAQ’s
No — the Hybsun SSP1200-19-31D DC solar pool pump runs directly from your solar panels through the included DC controller. The controller starts the pump automatically when there’s enough sunlight and stops it when there isn’t. For most large pools that works out well, because chlorine consumption, algae growth and evaporation all peak in daylight hours — which is exactly when the pump runs. If you need guaranteed pump operation at night or in any weather, take a look at our Hybsun SSP-H1200 Hybrid AC/DC pool pump instead (same 1200 W power level, but with grid backup) — it runs from solar when there’s sun and switches to grid power when there isn’t.
Hybsun specifies PV panel power of at least 1.3 × pump power, so the Hybsun SSP1200-19-31D DC solar pool pump needs at least 1560 Wp of solar panels (typically 4 or 5 panels arranged into 96 V strings — usually 3 panels in series). The PV string voltage also has to land within the controller’s MPPT range: 96–192 V Vmp with open-circuit voltage below 210 V. CGP Solar designs the exact PV configuration — panel count, string layout and cable sizing — during the quotation stage.
Yes, in most cases. The 2″ × 2″ inlet and outlet match the standard pool plumbing used across Cyprus residential and small commercial properties, so the Hybsun SSP1200-19-31D DC solar pool pump fits straight onto your existing pipework. What changes is the power source — instead of 230 V AC from your distribution board, the pump takes DC power from a sized 96 V PV array via the included controller. CGP Solar handles the whole changeover, including any plumbing adapters needed and the 96 V PV array sizing.
The Hybsun SSP1200-19-31D DC solar pool pump only runs when there’s enough sunlight to power it directly — that’s by design, so you get free pool circulation without an electricity bill. For most Cyprus pools that’s fine, because a 6–8 hour solar day easily covers a full pool turnover. If you need pump operation at night, on heavily overcast days, or guaranteed circulation regardless of weather, take a look at our Hybsun SSP-H1200 Hybrid AC/DC pool pump — same 1200 W power level, but it runs from solar during the day and switches automatically to grid AC when there isn’t enough sun.
