A solar water pump is a mechanical pump powered by electricity generated using photovoltaic panels. It is popularly referred to as a solar water pumping system because it requires several key compone.
[pdf] Three solar inverters can drive a water pump and convert photovoltaic direct current into alternating current. It is an inverter designed for running water pumps using solar power. It directly transforms the direct power produced by solar panels into an alternating current to drive the pump.
[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.
