I bought the RYOBI 18V ONE+ HYBRID TRANSFER PUMP. I love that it runs on the 18V batteries. It makes it really useful for small jobs. It also comes with a power brick so you can run it with AC power. I was thinking it would be great if we could run it on solar. Then you could use it off-grid for pumping shallow well water, pond aeration, or irrigation. In my tests it pumped 277 gallons/hour at ground level and 220 gallons/hour at a height of 90 inches.
For a test I hooked it up to two 100W flexible solar panels. Because the Vmp of the solar panels is 18.5V it's perfect for the range of a RYOBI 18V battery (15-21V). The pump took around 5.74A in my test. The solar panel Imp is 5.41A, so you need at least two 100W panels to run the pump.
I hooked it up to solar in two different ways. First I used an 18V recycled battery case and connected it to MC4 connectors. Then I ordered audio XLR plugs and wired it to MC4 connectors.
The only down side is that if a cloud passes over and the voltage drops to low, I had to toggle the on/off switch to get it to run again. I had hoped it would just start up again when the sun came out.
Things I used:
RYOBI HYBRID Transfer pump model P750 ( www.ryobitools... )
Rich Solar 100W Flexible Solar Panel ( amzn.to/3Osq7gc )
Renogy 100W Flexible Solar Panel ( amzn.to/3nokl3d )
Female XLR Audio plug ( amzn.to/3Osq7gc )
MC4 10ft extension cables ( amzn.to/3QTCtzk )
Solar Y branch MC4 connector ( amzn.to/39VAr1f )
MC4 connectors ( amzn.to/3ynsjzP )
14AWG stranded silicon wire ( amzn.to/3QWJIGG )
security torx drivers ( amzn.to/2GLxa5y )
wire stripper ( amzn.to/30LCBbE )
wire terminal crimper ( amzn.to/3lrpq7Y )

That’s a good ideal. I bought the same pump in my huge ryobi collection. This pump saved us during the ice age Texas had two years ago. I used it to pull water from a near by pond and this thing actually pushed water through a 100 foot hose on an 18v.

Solar generator, even a small one, can be used between the panels and the pump to cover interruptions in sun. Panels charge and pump runs off charging battery through regulated output, either AC or DC, whichever is more efficient.

certainly cheaper than additional solar panels, you can pick up a used one for cheap - just need enough battery to carry you through the shady times

Seems like the best thing to do would be to plug in a battery that is being charged by solar with pass-through.

A compatible battery in the solar circuit would provide stable power.

I love your videos and ingenuity. I have a challenge for you. Could you make ANY Ryobi tool from wireless to wired? is this possible? Basically, replace the battery with another battery but wired to the wall. Basically, making Ryobi the best of both worlds (wired and wireless)

working on it right now ;-) It turns out that it was easy to attach the RYOBI Hybrid Pump power brick to an 18V battery adapter. I'll put out a video when I get a chance!

looks like the pump is causing the shutdown, not the solar. the pump needs a consistent power flowing. as soon as the solar encounters a power drop, the pump stops. the only way is probably a inverter setup with solar panels; a regular solar setup

I have one I use to pump oil with and removed half of the 6 rubber vanes on the pump the keep it from tripping the switch sometimes. It would pump less per minute but will run with less amps.

Ideally, you wouldn’t want the pump to run under or overpowered. The killswitch that engages when “cloud cover” occurs is merely an effort to prevent you from burning up the pump. Not to mention you have the pump itself in direct sunlight. Heat kills electronics. I think trying to bypass this isn’t a great idea even though I understand your goal.

is the issue on the XLR connection because of voltage/amperage or because of some way it can sense if a real power supply is connected? Like the 3rd pin connected in a different way?
@SerendipitySue
@SerendipitySue 2 жыл бұрын
I first did the battery connection. When the solar panel voltage dropped, the pump would stop. Unfortunately it wouldn't go back on. I noticed that the power supply didn't have that problem if I unplugged it. So then I hooked the solar panels via the XLR connector. But it had the same issue. I think the voltage has to go to zero before the pump will restart. The solar panels still put out a voltage unless it's dark

You could use a battery and a solar charge controller. But you would have to manage low voltage shut off. I just want the pump to go on when there is enough solar and off when there isn't. I've found some other pumps that work fine this way. Much simpler and less stuff to carry

Add a battery or a laaaaaarge capasitor to remove spikes and lows from the solar panel, try with a "start help" in parralell, 500Ah/ 20sec if not, in paralell with a small battery..u got the idea....store exsess solar.. will also work with your powebanks i guess?
