AC Submersible Pump

[Naptown]

Dear Mike

Thanks a lot for quick detail help. It it viable to connect AC pump with 4Kv Solar Inverter to run 1 x 3hp motor ?
i.e. Solar Panel to Inverter and Inverter to AC PUMP

No you would need batteries in there to stabilize the inverter. you mentioned grid tie Is that viable or do you experience the rolling blackouts endemic to India. that is driving this project?

Wow !

I'd start with switching out the pumps to a 3 phase motor, with a electronic controller/converter That should save some $ right there.

1/2 hp to 3 hp, 230 VAC single/three-phase input VFD

Are these well pumps or tank/pool pumps? Make sure they are not oversize, because that's what the
vendor had in stock when you were buying.

Then I'd look into Grid Tie solar, if the utility in your area allows it.

How long does the pump run each day and how much money do you have?

we get sunlight 8am. So my wish is to start my pump at 8am itself. it run 8hours a day. Money is not issue. But it should run in on grid system
