By converting sunlight into AC electricity, it drives irrigation pumps, distributes water efficiently, and supports crop growth even in remote or off-grid areas.
Nowadays, with a modern solar pump, we're able to pump up to around 1400 feet of pumping head and that 1400 feet is comparable to even some of the most powerful AC pumps. So 1400 feet is a little extreme. Most of the applications that we see are anywhere from 50 to 300ft of pumping.
Solar inverters cost $2,000 on average, with prices ranging from $1,000 to $3,000 depending on your system size and inverter type. The size of your solar energy system and the specific inverter type you select will determine your final project total.
A single inverter is usually enough to handle the power from all your solar panels. This is often referred to as a string inverter configuration, where multiple panels are connected in series, forming a "string. ".
This guide highlights five inverter solutions that pair well with solar setups and water pumps, from off-grid kits to backup inverter systems. Each option supports pumping needs while maximizing energy efficiency and safety.
SOMATEC Limited is a registered limited liability company in Sierra Leone specializing in the distribution of high-quality hydraulic and solar equipment, construction machinery, spare parts, and pumping systems.
The three types of inverters are string inverters, microinverters and Hybrid inverters that are utilised in inverter systems. This scale of solar power may need multiple inverters with an efficiency of about 98%.
