MHC designed a CRFlex-powered solar pump to deliver 20 m\u00b3\/day at 50 m head. Two CRNF5-6 Flex units were paired with a PV array sized to maintain flow during cloudy days, combined with a small generator backup. The system provided consistent irrigation, reduced diesel costs, and freed farmers from manual pumping.<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"16438\" data-end=\"16487\">Community Water Supply in Remote Village<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"16489\" data-end=\"16778\">In a rural village, MHC installed a CRFlex pump to draw from a borehole and fill an elevated storage tank. With DC solar supply and AC backup, the system ensures continuous drinking water supply even during grid outages. Remote monitoring allows early fault detection and reduces downtime.<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"16780\" data-end=\"16827\">Pressure Boosting for Building Complex<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"16829\" data-end=\"17120\">In a new residential complex, MHC used CRFlex to boost pressure to upper floors. During daytime, the pump draws partially from solar panels on the rooftop; at night or low solar, it shifts to grid power. This hybrid approach reduces grid consumption and ensures stable pressure at all times.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section el_id=&#8221;Integration with MHC\u2019s Services &amp; Portfolio&#8221;][vc_row][vc_column]<div id=\"kapee-header-36126\" class=\"kapee-element kapee-heading text-left kapee-width-100 separator-none separator-between-heading\">\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"heading-wrap\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"separator-left\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"heading-title\">Integration with MHC\u2019s Services &amp; Portfolio <\/h3>\t\t\t<span class=\"separator-right\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n    <\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"17179\" data-end=\"17211\">Electromechanical Works<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"17213\" data-end=\"17430\">At MHC, our electromechanical division handles all wiring, motor controls, instrumentation, and integration.
