This article proposes a 10kW string inverter based on GaN field-effect transistors (FETs). We will also explore the benefits of GaN and highlight the advantages of building such a system for residential solar applications.
[pdf] The pump moves water from the source to the drip network. There are two types: DC Pumps: Run directly from solar panels. More efficient for small systems. AC Pumps: Require an inverter to convert DC to AC. Useful in larger setups.
[pdf] This paper describes the design and development of a solar photovoltaic (PV) inverter which is used to drive a water pump for irrigation purposes. The inverter output is fed to a three phase ac induction motor which drives the pump.
