What is the 18.5 kW ready-made irrigation box?
The 18.5 kW Galvanized IP55 Ready-Made Irrigation Box is a ready-made solution that reduces the effort of building the panel side of solar-powered irrigation systems from scratch on site. Inside a metal DKP enclosure, it offers a ready-made panel structure arranged with high-quality components and reliable packaging. This 18.5 kW class model is chosen for use in high-capacity deep-well pumps.
Key technical specifications
The table below summarizes the technical values stated on the product page. The nominal power is at the 18 kW level; the compatible motor power is given as 15 kW. The recommended DC input range and MPPT voltage are used as references when determining the number of series panels in the PV string.

Which projects is it suitable for?
This box is used in applications such as large farmland, greenhouse clusters and irrigation systems fed from deep wells. Pump power, well depth and PV array size must be calculated for the site; a mismatched panel and motor reduce efficiency. Using a ready-made box is intended to shorten installation time for farmers and installation crews who do not want to design the panel and select parts one by one; even so, cable cross-sections and earthing must be done correctly on site.
Use in Antalya and Solar Nexo support
In Antalya, irrigation costs are a significant item in greenhouse and citrus growing; in this sunny climate, a PV-powered pump is a concrete way to reduce dependence on the grid or diesel. Considering dusty field conditions and summer temperatures, an IP55 metal enclosure helps protect the components from external influences. Solar Nexo provides supply, design, installation, commissioning and technical support services. The product's datasheet, certificate and user manual documents can be downloaded from this page.
