Outback Scout 3" 300W — Shallow Bore Submersible Solar Bore Pump Kit
1 × 450W Solar Panels | Max 18LPM / 70m
The Outback Scout DC is a simple, reliable solar pumping solution designed for low-yield shallow bores and everyday off-grid water supply. Built around a compact 3" submersible pump and powered by a high-efficiency 450W solar panel, the Scout delivers consistent performance without the complexity of larger systems.
This DC-only system is ideal for properties that require dependable water delivery for small tanks, gardens, stock troughs, or homesteads where mains power is unavailable. The efficient screw rotor pump design allows the Scout to maintain steady flow at higher heads, making it well suited to deeper shallow bores and long pipe runs.
The included MPPT controller is optimised for direct solar operation, ensuring smooth startup and stable pump operation throughout the day. With oversized solar input for its pump class, the Scout benefits from improved low-light performance and increased daily water yield compared to smaller panel configurations.
Engineered for Australian conditions, the Outback Scout DC offers a practical, cost-effective entry point into solar bore pumping — delivering reliable water, minimal maintenance, and true off-grid independence.
Capable of delivering up to 18 litres per minute and lifting water to 70 metres, the Outback Scout offers a practical, reliable entry point into solar bore pumping with the added reassurance of remote monitoring.

Why Outback Solar Pumps
Engineered As Complete Systems — Not Just Individual Components
Outback Solar Pumps are designed as fully integrated systems, where every component is selected to work together reliably in real-world conditions. Rather than mixing generic parts, each kit is engineered to deliver consistent performance & long service life.
From the pump to the panels and controller, every element is carefully matched for electrical compatibility, operating voltage, and long-term durability.
Our product range is built around practical performance — not inflated specifications. Flow rates & lift capability, defined to reflect realistic, everyday use, helping customers choose the right solution with confidence.
Why Outback Solar Pumps
Built To Perform Where It Matters Most
Every Outback Solar Pump is engineered with one priority in mind: long-term reliability in harsh, real-world conditions. From materials selection to final assembly, quality is not an add-on — it’s the foundation of every system we supply.
Our pumps use high-grade stainless steel construction, precision-balanced internal components, and brushless DC motors designed for continuous operation in remote environments. This results in smoother performance, reduced wear, and longer service life compared to lower-grade alternatives.
Why Outback Solar Pumps
Engineered For Long-Term Performance In Harsh Conditions
Every solar panel supplied with an Outback Solar Pump kit is selected based on real-world performance, durability, and long-term reliability — not just headline wattage figures. Our systems are designed to operate consistently in demanding outdoor environments where heat, dust, wind, and daily exposure are part of normal operation.
We specify Tier-1, high-efficiency solar modules built with robust construction, quality cell technology, and proven materials to ensure stable energy production over time. This approach reduces performance degradation, improves low-light operation, and protects the pumping system from the inconsistencies commonly seen with lower-grade panels.
By focusing on panel quality, compatibility, and system matching — rather than shortcuts — Outback Solar Pumps deliver dependable power year after year.
Why Outback Solar Pumps
Intelligent Control Designed To Protect Your System
At the heart of every Outback Solar Pump system is an intelligent MPPT controller built to manage power efficiently while protecting critical components. Rather than simply switching the pump on and off, the controller actively regulates how power is delivered throughout the day to ensure stable operation and long-term reliability.
Each controller continuously monitors voltage, current, and operating conditions to protect the pump from electrical stress, dry-run events, and unstable power input.
Housed in a robust, weather-resistant enclosure, Outback Solar Controllers are designed for outdoor installation in harsh environments. Clear onboard indicators provide simple status visibility.
