Behind the Scenes with My Shelly Controlled Solar Swimming Pool Pump

Описание: In this video I am showing you my solar swimming pool pump installation. It consists of three 310W monocrystalline solar panels and a 72V DC, 11.5Amp, 16 cubic meters an hour solar pool pump. The pump has an in-built regulator, to regulate the power to 72 volt. It is plumbed in parallel with the old AC pool pump, so I can use either of them if I want. But since the DC pump is running on free solar energy, I prefer using it most of the time. I use the AC pump on cloudy days when there is not enough energy to run the solar pump, but that is very rare. I wired a Shelly 1 relay switch to the pump which allows me to connect to it and control it remotely via the Internet using the Shelly app and Home Assistant. I use scenes to automate the running of my solar pool pump. My scenes run as follows: at 11AM, turn on the pump and send me a notification on my phone. Then, at 5PM, turn off the pump and send me a notification on my phone. During the summer, these times change, since the day is a lot longer and more sunlight is available.
