Pivot Master System
Solar Blended Edition
Seamless blended operation combining solar power with grid or generator supply. Solar-first operation with automatic backup support for consistent irrigation performance.
Prioritises solar energy as primary power source for maximum efficiency
Seamlessly supplements with grid or generator when solar is insufficient
Maintains correct irrigation pressure under all operating conditions
Intelligent Hybrid Power Management
The Pivot Master System – Hybrid is designed for irrigation applications where solar power alone may not always be sufficient to meet operational requirements. The system combines solar power with grid or generator supply using seamless blended operation, ensuring consistent irrigation performance under varying conditions.
This system is built on the Pivot Master Technology Architecture. Learn more about how pump–pivot synchronisation and seamless solar blending operate.
Solar energy is always prioritised as the primary power source. When sufficient solar energy is available, the system operates on solar only. If solar energy becomes insufficient to maintain correct pump pressure, grid or generator power is automatically blended in to supplement the shortfall.
This process is fully automatic and requires no manual intervention. If no grid or generator supply is available, the system operates exactly like the Solar Only configuration, starting and stopping based purely on available solar energy.

Irrigation Design & Agronomic Considerations
Centre pivot systems are designed to deliver specific irrigation depths per revolution based on crop type, soil conditions, and agronomic requirements. While many pivot systems can be optimised through nozzle and pressure configuration, seasonal factors can make daytime-only irrigation insufficient during certain periods of the year.
The Hybrid Pivot Master System addresses these challenges by extending available irrigation hours while still maximising the use of solar energy. Grid or generator power is only used when required to maintain correct irrigation pressure, ensuring efficient energy utilisation and consistent water application.
High Temperature Periods
Increased water demand during peak heat
Evapotranspiration
Higher crop water loss in certain seasons
Limited Solar Hours
Shorter daylight periods in winter months
Peak Growth Stages
Critical irrigation timing for crop development
Why Choose Hybrid?
The Hybrid Pivot Master System delivers the best of both worlds — renewable energy efficiency with the reliability of conventional power backup.
Solar-First Operation
Maximises use of free solar energy with automatic grid or generator support only when needed
Seamless Blended Energy
Automatic power transition without manual switching or operator intervention
Stable Pump Pressure
Maintains consistent irrigation quality and water application rates
Reduced Energy Costs
Significantly reduces grid electricity or diesel consumption compared to conventional systems
Seasonal Flexibility
Ideal for handling peak irrigation demand during critical growing periods
Extended Operating Hours
Enables irrigation beyond daylight hours when agronomic requirements demand it
Smart Energy Management
The system intelligently manages energy sources to ensure your irrigation never stops while minimising reliance on grid or generator power. Perfect for operations that need guaranteed uptime with maximum solar utilisation.
Custom Engineered Solutions
All Hybrid systems are custom designed according to pump size, pivot size, and number of wheel motors. Each installation is engineered specifically for your operation's requirements.
Custom Design Parameters
- Pump size and power requirements
- Pivot size and tower configuration
- Number of wheel motors (1–15 towers)
- Site hydraulic layout and pump configuration
Wide Compatibility
Compatible with most centre pivot brands using 380–400 V systems, from 1 tower up to 15 towers. Works with leading manufacturers' equipment.
Multiple Pump Support
Can control multiple supply pumps simultaneously based on your site's specific hydraulic requirements and irrigation system design.
Compatible with Most Centre Pivot Brands
The Pivot Master System works with leading pivot irrigation brands worldwide
(380-400V 3 Phase driven Pivots)
Important Note
The Pivot Master System does not control pivot speed. Pivot speed remains controlled by the pivot controller.
The system ensures correct synchronisation between pump and pivot operation to prevent under-irrigation and maintain optimal water application rates.
Speed Control
Managed by pivot controller
Synchronisation
Automatic pump-pivot coordination
