Solar pump inverter is an off-grid or stand-alone inverter that converts DC power getting from solar panels (photovoltaic array) to AC power to supply pumping system. With solar radiation changes, solar panels output DC power will change, so the solar inverter play an important role in receiving such variable power and producing maximum AC power to the pump, also it adjusts output frequency in real time so can run the pumping system at max efficiency.
Before deciding on the size of solar pump inverter for pump and solar panels, you need to confirm one thing first. What needs to be checked is the pump motor itself, whether it is compatible and suitable for use with the inverter.
The solar water pump is the heart of solar pumping system, so selecting the good reliable pump is a crucial choice in building your efficient system.
Mainly in the market there are 2 types of solar pumps: AC pump and DC pump.
DC solar pump uses DC motor which works based on direct current supply (such as solar panel or battery), so it does not need an inverter.
While AC solar pumps uses AC motor which powered via solar pump inverter that converting DC getting from solar panels to AC.
Then which one is better, AC pump or DC pump?
Solar photovoltaic water pumping system, also known as photovoltaic water pump or solar water pump system, converts solar energy into electricity through solar cell modules and then drives the pump to raise water from low to high levels for farmland irrigation or human and livestock drinking. Solar water pump system projects can be built in areas rich in solar energy resources, making modular construction or staged construction according to the fund or industrial development, and realize automatic operation, costs low management fees.
