Harness the Power of the Sun: Franklin Electric Solar Pumping Solutions

Did you realize that you can pump water free from electrical utility dependence? When you harness the power of the sun, you can operate a pumping system nearly anywhere—including lawn and crop irrigation, water transfer, and drinking water for people or livestock.

With more than 75 years of pumping system experience, Franklin Electric offers expert insight into solar pumping solutions. During this 1-hour webinar,  we share our experience of what works best when considering solar pump technology. We look at packaged systems—the Franklin Electric Fhoton™ and SubDrive SolarPAK—and how they are engineered to deliver the MOST amount of water with the LEAST amount of energy possible.
