4 FAQs about Daily Solar Water Pump Inverter Requirements

What is a solar pump inverter?

Solar pump systems use solar energy to power water pumps, which can be used for irrigation, water supply, and other applications. Solar pump inverters are a key component of solar pump systems, converting the direct current (DC) output of the solar panels into alternating current (AC) that can be used to power the water pump.

When are inverters used in a solar powered water system?

Inverters are typically used in a solar powered water system when the pump capacity needed exceeds the capacity of the pump and motor combinations (or PV pump aggregates) that can take DC input. Pump and motor combinations that require AC input commonly have much higher capacities.

How do I choose a solar inverter?

Consider the volume of water you need to pump daily. This affects the size of both the pump and the solar array, influencing the inverter selection. Higher water demands may require a more powerful pump and, consequently, a larger inverter.

How do you design a solar water pumping system?

When designing a solar pumping system, the designer must match the individual components together. A solar water pumping system consists of three major components: the solar array, pump controller and electric water pump (motor and pump) as shown in Figure 1.
