The Outback Pioneer 1-100 AC/DC Hybrid 3" 600W Submersible Solar Bore Pump Complete Kit is a powerful shallow-bore solar pumping solution designed for reliable stock water, tank filling, irrigation, and off-grid water supply across rural and remote properties. Built for dependable daily operation with solar-first hybrid flexibility, the Pioneer combines a robust stainless steel submersible pump, intelligent AC/DC controller, and dual 450W solar panels to deliver strong water output and stable performance even during low-light conditions. Ideal for low-yield bores requiring higher lift capability, the Pioneer delivers efficient operation with seamless backup from mains power or a generator when required.
Highlights
• Delivers up to 18LPM (1,100L/Hr) for reliable tank filling, livestock watering, irrigation, and everyday off-grid water supply
• Powerful 100 metre maximum head provides strong lift capability for deeper shallow bores and long pipe runs
• Hybrid AC/DC operation automatically prioritises solar power while allowing seamless mains or generator backup when required
• High-efficiency brushless DC motor delivers smooth operation, lower maintenance, and long-term reliability in remote environments
• Includes 2 x 450W bifacial monocrystalline solar panels for strong solar performance and improved low-light pumping capability
• Efficient screw rotor / helical rotor pump design maintains stable flow and excellent lifting performance under varying conditions
• Intelligent MPPT controller continuously adjusts solar input throughout the day for stable pumping and improved water production
• Integrated dry-run, overload, thermal, low-voltage, and over-voltage protection helps protect the system during operation
• Heavy-duty stainless steel pump construction designed for harsh Australian rural and off-grid conditions
• IP65-rated outdoor controller enclosure built for reliable long-term outdoor installation
Reliable Water Supply For Rural Properties
The Outback Pioneer AC/DC 600W is designed for properties requiring dependable daily water supply from shallow and low-yield bores. Whether supplying stock troughs, filling tanks, watering gardens, or supporting irrigation systems, the Pioneer delivers stable off-grid water transfer with strong lifting capability.
Its efficient screw rotor pump design helps maintain consistent flow across higher heads while the brushless DC motor provides smooth, continuous operation with reduced wear.
Hybrid Solar & AC Backup Flexibility
The Pioneer features intelligent AC/DC hybrid functionality, allowing the system to operate directly from solar power during the day while seamlessly switching to 240V AC mains or generator backup when required.
This provides greater reliability during cloudy weather, periods of increased water demand, or extended low-sun conditions — all without requiring batteries or an inverter.
Strong Solar Performance In Low-Light Conditions
Supplied with 2 x 450W N-Type bifacial monocrystalline solar panels, the Pioneer delivers strong startup and pumping performance throughout the day.
The oversized solar array improves low-light operation during mornings, afternoons, and cloudy weather while helping maximise total daily water output.
Intelligent Protection & System Monitoring
The included AC/DC hybrid MPPT controller actively manages pump performance while protecting the system from unstable operating conditions.
Protection features include:
• Automatic dry-run protection with auto restart
• Overload protection
• Thermal protection
• Low-voltage and over-voltage protection
• Soft-start motor control
• Automatic fault diagnostics and LED status indication
The controller is housed inside a weather-resistant IP65 enclosure suitable for permanent outdoor installation.
Designed For Australian Conditions
The Pioneer is engineered using durable, long-life components selected for reliable performance in harsh rural environments.
The system features stainless steel pump construction, brushless DC motor technology, precision-balanced internal components, and wind and hail-rated bifacial solar panels with tempered glass and aluminium frames.
Ideal applications include:
• Livestock watering
• Tank filling
• Irrigation systems
• Remote homesteads
• Rural water supply
• Off-grid properties
• Low-yield bores
• Shallow bore water transfer

Delivery & returns
The details worth knowing before you order.
When will it arrive, and what does freight cost?
Freight is included in the price shown. Orders placed before 1pm dispatch the same business day to VIC, NSW and QLD, with free express shipping Australia-wide.
Delivery is kerbside with tailgate, so you will need someone on site to receive it and a way to move the unit into position.
Can I return it if I order the wrong one?
Returns are accepted within 30 days on unused stock in its original packaging. Contact us for a return authority before sending anything back.
Returns or exchanges due to incorrect sizing without prior consultation are at the customer's expense, which is exactly why we would rather spend ten minutes on the phone before you order.
Do I need a licensed plumber and electrician?
Yes. Plumbing connections must be made by a licensed plumber and the final electrical connection by a licensed electrician, to an RCD-protected circuit. Packaged units arrive pre-assembled, so both trades are on site for a fraction of the time a site-built system takes.
What is covered by warranty?
Manufacturer warranty applies to every product we supply, covering correctly installed units used within their rated duty. Warranty terms vary by brand and model - the period for this product is listed in the specifications above, or call us and we will confirm it.
Do you offer trade pricing or project quantities?
We do. Trade accounts receive standing discount and priority dispatch. For developments and multi-unit sites we quote the whole schedule and stage deliveries to match your program. Apply for trade pricing or call 1300 930 847.
Working on a project?
Send us the schedule and we will price the lot - staged delivery to match your program, trade terms, and engineering sign-off if you need it.
