LBLD Motor Quick Reference
Simple Pump Solar Kit Support
The Simple Pump Solar Kit (LBLD24-5S-Assy) powered the LBLD motor using two 370-watt monocrystalline solar panels with an MPPT charge controller. If you own this kit, your panels, controller, and mounting hardware continue to receive full support.
Solar Kit Component Reference
| Component | Specification | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Solar Panels | 2× 370W monocrystalline (740W total) | Weather-resistant; standard MC4 connectors |
| Charge Controller | MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) | Compatible with 12V or 24V battery bank |
| Mounting Hardware | 100 MPH wind-rated panel mounts | Ground or roof mount configurations |
| Wiring Harness | UV-resistant solar cable with MC4 connectors | Above-ground connections: solar panels to control box, control box to batteries, control box to LBLD |
| Batteries | 12V or 24V deep cycle (customer-provided) | Not included in LBLD24-5S-Assy kit |
| Timer | Programmable pump timer included | Set automated fill schedules |
About the MPPT Charge Controller
The MPPT charge controller included in the Solar Kit manages power from the solar panels to your battery bank and LBLD motor. It automatically adjusts to extract maximum power from the panels across varying light conditions.
For controller replacement or compatibility questions, contact Simple Pump support.
Solar Kit Troubleshooting
Pump not running despite sunlightClick to expand
- •Check battery voltage — must be above minimum threshold for controller to activate
- •Inspect MC4 connectors for corrosion or loose connections
- •Verify charge controller display shows panel input voltage
- •Test with direct battery connection to isolate controller vs motor issue
Pump runs but output is reducedClick to expand
- •Check for air leaks in drop pipe or cylinder check valve
- •Inspect motor brushes — brush wear reduces output over time
- •Verify water level hasn't dropped below pump intake depth
- •Check for partial blockage in discharge line
Batteries not chargingClick to expand
- •Verify panels are clean and unshaded
- •Check charge controller input terminals for proper connection
- •Test panel open-circuit voltage with multimeter (should be ~45V per 370W panel)
- •Inspect wiring for damaged insulation
Timer not activating pumpClick to expand
- •Verify timer is programmed (ON/OFF schedule set)
- •Check timer output voltage is reaching motor leads
- •Confirm battery bank is sufficiently charged for motor start
Ready to Upgrade? Here's Your Path.
When you're ready to move to the new solar submersible system, Simple Pump offers a retrofit path using our new Simple Pump Inline Dual-Pump Valve Assembly. The Inline Dual-Pump Valve Assembly connects a Workhorse Narrow Series solar submersible pump to your existing Simple Pump cylinder and drop pipe — no need to replace your pump head or rods.
What the upgrade involves:
- Install Workhorse PSC100 solar controller and solar panels at the surface per their installation instructions
- Remove existing LBLD motor assembly
- Uninstall Simple Pump system
- Install adapter kit to the bottom of existing Simple Pump Cylinder
- Install Dual-Pump Valve Assembly to the bottom of the newly installed adapter kit on the Simple Pump cylinder
- Thread the Workhorse Solar Pump to the bottom of the dual-pump valve assembly
- Reinstall the Simple Pump using the new installation tool, making sure to tape the solar pump cable to the drop pipe as you go
- Install the Pump Head assembly as you normally would
Retrofit kit contents and pricing: [INPUT REQUIRED — Steve to confirm]
The Workhorse solar submersible system is installed by Simple Pump dealers and authorized Workhorse Pumps professional installers.
