Want pool circulation that runs on solar when the sun is up — and grid AC when it isn’t? The Hybsun SSP-H900-19-21E hybrid solar pool pump is the 900 W hybrid version of our popular solar pool pump range. It pushes up to 21 m³/h at a peak head of 19 m, sized for typical Cyprus family villas. The pump automatically switches between solar PV and 230 V grid AC — so you get the daily savings of solar without ever worrying about whether the pump will run at night, on cloudy days, or in winter. 24-month warranty. The DC-only versions (no grid backup) is Hybsun SSP900-19-21C.

What It Is
The Hybsun SSP-H900-19-21E hybrid solar pool pump is the 900 W hybrid version of our SSP solar pool pump range. It does exactly what the DC-only SSP pumps do — circulates your pool water from a brushless DC motor — but with one big addition: when there isn’t enough sunlight to run the pump from solar, it switches automatically to 230 V grid AC. So the pump never stops. Solar by day, grid backup at night, cloudy weather, or winter.
You still get most of the daily electricity savings of a solar pool pump (the DC controller uses solar power whenever it can), but you don’t have to compromise on circulation reliability. The full Hybsun SSP-H AC DC hybrid system ships as the pump, the AC/DC hybrid controller, and the accessories kit.
Motor Technology
AC/DC Brushless permanent-magnet synchronous motor
Inside the Hybsun SSP-H900-19-21E hybrid solar pool pump is an AC/DC brushless permanent-magnet synchronous motor — built for high-speed, high-efficiency operation from either a solar PV array or grid AC. Hybsun uses NSK bearings (a Japanese industrial bearing brand), paired with an alloy mechanical seal — both chosen so the pump handles long daily run-times of pool circulation. The motor coil is wound on automatic winding machines using centralized winding technology — Hybsun cites this as the reason for the improved motor efficiency on the SSP-H series. A double water seal keeps the pump body fully waterproof and leak-proof.
The hybrid controller is the brain of the system. It sits between your solar panels, your grid AC supply, and the pump — and decides in real time which power source to use. It tracks the maximum power point of your solar array (MPPT) to extract the most energy when there’s sun, accepts up to 17 A maximum input current, runs an IP65 waterproof enclosure, and works across a wide voltage range: AC input 90-300 V single phase, DC input 90-430 V. The pump speed adjusts automatically based on available power, or you can lock it manually.
Beyond just switching between power sources, the AC/DC controller carries several features that the DC-only controllers don’t have:
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, overload, phase-loss, high working temperature protection, and adjustable speed (frequency conversion). The controller automatically starts and stops the pump based on solar conditions.
Unboxing & First Look

Who Should Buy This
The Hybsun SSP-H900-19-21E hybrid solar pool pump is sized for typical residential pools, family villas, B&Bs, with a pool volume range of around 40-75 m³. The buyer profiles below cover the most common situations where the hybrid version (rather than the DC-only version) is the right pick:
Compare across the full Hybsun pool pump range. The DC-only models below cost less and give 100% solar offset on the bill (but daytime operation only). The bigger AC/DC hybrid sibling — the Hybsun SSP-H1200-19/31F AC DC hybrid solar pool pump — is the same family as this 900 W version but in a higher-power 1200 W variant:
Hybsun’s rule for sizing the PV array is the same as the rest of the SSP range: panels should add up to at least 1.3 × the pump’s rated power. For the Hybsun SSP-H900-19-21E hybrid solar pool pump that’s at least 1170 Wp of solar panels (3-4 panels depending on individual panel wattage). The 30% extra covers the everyday losses that pull solar panels below their nameplate rating in real conditions — heat, dust, cable losses, panel ageing over time — so the pump runs at its full flow rate during the productive solar window, not just for a couple of hours around noon.
The big advantage of the hybrid controller is the much wider PV voltage window compared to the DC-only models: Best VMP 110-430 V, with maximum open-circuit voltage below 430 V. That’s a huge operating range — wide enough that you can string anywhere from 3 panels in series all the way up to much larger array configurations. It gives your installer real flexibility on array layout, cable sizing and longer DC runs.
When solar PV input drops below what the pump needs, the controller automatically switches to grid AC supply (90-300 V single phase) and keeps the pump running. When the sun comes back up, it switches back to solar. No manual intervention, no scheduled changeover — the controller decides in real time.
Pool turnover is just the time the pump needs to push every drop of your pool’s water through the filter once. The standard recommendation is one full turnover every 6-8 hours — that keeps your water clear and your chemistry stable. With the hybrid pump you have two operating scenarios: solar-only daytime hours (typical 6-8 hours of useful sun in Cyprus) and 24/7 operation (using grid AC backup as needed). Both columns below show realistic turnover counts for the Hybsun SSP-H900-19-21E hybrid solar pool pump at a working flow rate of ~15 m³/h (allowing for typical 5-8 m system head losses):
A quick note: the 21 m³/h figure on the manufacturer’s table is the maximum free-flow rating (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 numbers above use a realistic working flow rate. For an exact figure for your specific pool, send CGP Solar your pool dimensions, plumbing layout and filter type — we’ll work it out.
Here’s where the Hybsun SSP-H1200-19/31F AC DC hybrid solar pool pump earns its place over a plain grid-powered pool pump — and where it differs from the DC-only Hybsun SSP variants:
This is the headline benefit of the hybrid setup. The AC/DC controller watches both power inputs continuously: your solar PV string and your 230 V grid supply. The instant there’s enough sun to run the pump, it draws from solar. The moment solar drops — sundown, heavy cloud, winter — it transfers seamlessly to the grid. You don’t touch anything, you don’t program a timer, you don’t manually flip between modes. The controller does all of it in the background while the pump just keeps moving water.
The AC/DC controller carries several extras that the DC-only SSP controllers can’t match. GPRS remote start/stop lets you control the pump from your phone or a web browser — particularly valuable for villa owners who aren’t always on-site. Child Lock anti-stealing locks the controller against unauthorised tampering, which matters if the pump sits in an accessible plant room. The intelligent self-cleaning function reduces filter maintenance. And the wireless long-distance auto stop/start removes the need for a physical float switch in your pool — fewer parts to fail, simpler installation.
On the mechanical side, the SSP-H1200 shares the same long-life hardware as the DC-only Hybsun SSP pumps: NSK industrial bearings (the Japanese-brand standard for continuous-duty rotating equipment), an alloy mechanical seal rated for chlorinated pool water, and a double-water-seal assembly that keeps everything fully sealed and leak-proof. Hybsun’s datasheet describes this hardware combination with the phrase “offering the longer working life” — and on a pump that may run every single day across the swim season, that’s exactly the spec you want.
The AC/DC controller carries a soft-start function that brings the motor up to operating speed over a few seconds instead of switching it on at full current. That sidesteps the inrush spike that progressively destroys conventional AC motor windings over thousands of start/stop cycles — and it’s a big reason Hybsun is comfortable backing the SSP-H1200 with a 24-month manufacturer warranty even under daily year-round duty.
The PV-side voltage window on the hybrid controller is unusually wide: a Best VMP range of 150-430 V, with the open-circuit voltage limit at under 430 V. That’s a real installer-friendly feature — practically any sensible panel-string configuration on a commercial-scale array will land somewhere inside that range, so the MPPT keeps tracking properly. You also get extended DC cable runs, the option of fewer parallel strings on larger arrays, and more freedom on physical panel layout.
The SSP-H1200’s 2″ suction and 2″ discharge fittings are the de-facto standard size used by virtually all residential and small commercial pool plumbing across Cyprus. Practical implication: dropping the SSP-H1200 onto your existing pool plumbing is a direct swap — no adapter spool pieces, no re-piping, and no oversize/undersize compromise. It lands in the same footprint as the AC pool pump you’re replacing.
Typical project timeline from first call to commissioning is 4–8 days: site survey and sizing (1–3 days), system quotation (1-2 days), delivery and pump swap (1 day — onto your existing 2″×2″ pool plumbing), PV array and AC/DC controller installation including the grid AC connection from your distribution board (1-2 days), and commissioning under solar power with handover walkthrough on the same day.

FAQ’s
Automatically. The hybrid controller has both a solar PV input and a 230 V grid AC input. When the PV array is producing enough power to run the pump, the controller uses solar. When PV drops below the threshold (sunset, cloud cover, winter), the controller switches to grid AC and keeps the pump running. When the sun comes back up, it switches back to solar. There’s no timer, no schedule, no manual switch — the controller monitors the inputs in real time and picks whichever source is best at that moment. That’s the core idea behind the Hybsun SSP-H900-19-21E hybrid solar pool pump: solar savings most of the time, grid backup when needed, no decision required from you.
Hybsun specifies PV panel power of at least 1.3 × pump rated power. For the Hybsun SSP-H900-19-21E hybrid solar pool pump that means at least 1170 Wp of solar panels (3-4 panels depending on panel wattage). The PV string voltage has to fall within the controller’s wide range: Best VMP 110-430 V, with open-circuit voltage staying below 430 V. CGP Solar designs the exact PV configuration during the quotation stage.
Yes, in most cases. The 2″×2″ inlet and outlet match the standard residential pool plumbing used across Cyprus, so the pump fits straight onto your existing pipework. What changes is the wiring: instead of a plain 230 V AC supply to the old pump, the hybrid version takes a sized PV array AND your existing grid AC supply, both routed through the AC/DC hybrid controller. CGP Solar handles the whole changeover.
It lets you start and stop the pump remotely via the web or your phone. Useful for holiday homes you’re not always on-site at, or commercial pool sites you manage remotely. The controller communicates over the cellular network (GPRS), so it doesn’t need WiFi in the pool plant room. This is a manufacturer-listed feature on the AC/DC hybrid controller — it’s not available on the DC-only versions.
