SV13 Series Photovoltaic Water Pump Inverter
A narrow book-style solar pump drive covering almost every small and mid-size pump voltage, with app monitoring and grid backup built in.
What the SV13 Is For
The SV13 is KEVAN's compact photovoltaic water pump inverter, rated 0.4kW to 22kW and compatible with single-phase 220V, three-phase 220V and three-phase 380V pumps. It drives PMSM, asynchronous and BLDC motors, tracks the array with MPPT, and switches between solar and AC backup so water keeps coming after sunset.
Key Benefits
- One compact series covers 0.4kW to 22kW, so a fleet of sites can standardise on a single product family.
- Book-style narrow body saves cabinet width where enclosures are small and already crowded.
- MPPT keeps array yield up through changing sunlight, shortening the payback on the panels.
- Layered protection - overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent, short circuit, dry-run and overload - protects both inverter and pump.
Application Scenarios and Buyers
Smallholder and Mid-Size Farms
Pumps from 0.4kW upwards where a large solar drive would be oversized and overpriced.
Rural Water Supply Programmes
Village boreholes that must keep supplying at night on grid or generator backup.
Pump OEMs and Packagers
Builders assembling solar pump kits who need one drive to cover several pump voltages.
Livestock Watering Installations
Troughs and tanks filled unattended through the day.
Solar EPC Contractors
Installers who need compact cabinet mounting and a low temperature rise in sealed enclosures.
What Goes Wrong Without It
Too Many Pump Voltages to Stock
Single-phase 220V, three-phase 220V and three-phase 380V pumps are all supported by the same series, cutting the number of drive variants you keep on the shelf.
Water Stops When the Sun Goes
AC/DC hybrid mode moves between solar and grid or diesel supply so the system can run around the clock.
The Site Is Hours Away
A GPRS module gives mobile app control - start, stop, status and historical data - without a site visit.
Pump Motors Vary by Project
PMSM, asynchronous and BLDC motors are all driven by the same inverter, so the pump can be chosen on hydraulics rather than on drive compatibility.
Heat and Dust in Sealed Cabinets
Low temperature rise, a high protection rating and an independent air duct design keep the drive alive in a hot pump house.
Design Details That Matter on Site
Wide Pump Compatibility
Single-phase 220V, three-phase 220V and three-phase 380V pumps from 0.4kW to 22kW.
MPPT and Protection
Maximum Power Point Tracking plus protection against overvoltage, overcurrent and dry running.
Motor Versatility
Drives PMSM, asynchronous and BLDC motors.
GPRS Remote Control
Mobile app monitoring and control, including status and historical data.
AC/DC Hybrid Power
Switches between solar DC and grid or diesel AC for continuous supply.
Book-Style Narrow Body
Compact form, low temperature rise, high protection rating and flexible mounting.

Main Features
- Wide Compatibility
The SV13 solar pump inverter supports single-phase 220V, three-phase 220V, and three-phase 380V water pumps with power ratings ranging from 0.4kW to 22kW. This wide compatibility makes it suitable for various pump types and regional power standards.
- MPPT & Protection
Equipped with Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technology, the SV13 inverter ensures optimal power output from solar panels under varying sunlight conditions. Multiple protection functions safeguard the inverter and pump against overvoltage, overcurrent, dry-run, and other fault conditions.
- Motor Versatility
The SV13 series solar pump inverter drives various motor types, including PMSM (permanent magnet synchronous motor), asynchronous motor, and BLDC motor. This flexibility allows customers to use the same inverter with different pump technologies.
- Remote Control
Supports a GPRS module for mobile APP remote control. Users can monitor and control their water pumping system from anywhere — start, stop, check status, and view historical data via smartphone.
- Hybrid Power
The SV13 solar pump inverter operates in AC/DC hybrid mode, seamlessly switching between solar (DC) and grid/diesel (AC) power sources. This ensures 24/7 water supply even during cloudy days or nighttime.
- Flexible Installation
Offers various installation methods to accommodate different site requirements — whether on wall, control cabinet, or standalone mounting.
- Effective Cooling
Utilizes an independent air duct design for enhanced heat dissipation, minimizing dust impact on internal components and ensuring long-term reliability in harsh environments.
- Robust Safety
Incorporates multiple protection mechanisms, including overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent, short circuit, dry-run, and overload protection — ensuring safe operation under all conditions.

How It Compares With the Rest of the Range
How the SV13 sits against the other KEVAN series:
| Against SV20 | The SV20 adds automatic light detection, AC/DC switching in under 10ms, grid-adaptive control and quoted efficiency figures up to 98.7%. The SV13 is the miniaturised, cost-focused option. |
|---|---|
| Against KV500 | The KV500 is the specialist for single-phase 220V input to three-phase 380V output. The SV13 covers a wider set of pump voltages and starts lower, at 0.4kW. |
| Against KV100 / KV600 | Those are grid-powered industrial drives with no MPPT or PV input. |
Use Guide
- Confirm pump voltage and phase first - single-phase 220V, three-phase 220V or three-phase 380V - then match the rating within 0.4-22kW.
- Check motor type (PMSM, asynchronous or BLDC) so the correct control mode is selected at commissioning.
- Specify the GPRS module up front if remote monitoring is part of the scope.
- Plan the AC backup source - grid or diesel - and wire it before commissioning if 24-hour supply is required.
- Keep the independent air duct clear; low temperature rise assumes the mounting clearance is respected.
- Enable dry-run protection during commissioning and test it deliberately on an empty pipe.
