Chapter 1 System Introduction
1.1 Brief Introduction
A complete solar Pump system consist of solar array, pump and solar Pump inverter. The
inverter can convert DC power from solar PV array to AC power to run pump motors.
Solar array, an aggregation of many solar modules connected in series and parallel,
absorbs sunlight radiation and converts it into electrical energy, providing dynamical water
for the whole system.
Inverter controls the system operation and adjust the output frequency in real-time
according to the variation of sunlight intensity to realize the maximum power point tracking
(MPPT).
Pump, drive by 3-phase or single phase AC motor, can draw water from the deep wells or
rivers and lakes to pour into the storage tank or reservoir, or directly connect to the
irrigation system, fountain system, etc.
