How to choose a solar pump inverter?

Understand the rated power of the water pump. Normally, the rated power of the solar pump inverter should be slightly more than or equal to the rated power of the water pump to ensure that the pump can be operated normally. For instance, if the water pump's rated power is 2kW, the selected inverter should have a rated power of 2kW or higher.

Do solar water pumps need a specialized inverter?

Solar water pumps are a great way to access water in areas where traditional electricity might not be available. They’re especially useful for irrigation or remote water needs. But to make solar power usable for these water pumps, you’ll need a specialized inverter.

How does a solar inverter work?

A solar inverter changes the DC power from the solar panels into AC power, so you can use it to run things, like water pumps. Some inverters also change the voltage and make the power flow better. This is very important for solar water systems because it helps keep the water pumping even when the sun isn’t shining as much.

What is a solar pump inverter?

The solar pump inverter is an off-grid inverter that doesn't rely on the grid and operates independently of the load. The traditional off-grid inverter requires a battery, which costs about 30% of the system's cost. The system has a life span of only 3-5 years, which can affect your ROI.

What is a solar on-grid inverter?

Solar on-grid inverters are also known as grid-tied inverters. This type of inverter feeds the electricity produced from the solar panels directly into the utility grid. Then, the water pumps draw their power from the grid.

How to choose a solar inverter?

Giant heads and larger flow water pumps usually require a higher-power solar inverter, which should be widely considered when choosing. Go with a brand and high-quality inverter to ensure efficiency, long lifespan, and guaranteed after-sale service. We recommend you choose Innotinum, a leading company for residential energy storage systems.
