Dear All,
I am running a potable water production plant, composed of several stages of filtration including a double reverse osmosis system.
The whole system is running on 3 pumps with a total estimated consumption of 4KW.
The pumps installed are now AC single phase 220V and it is grid connected.
pump1 = 2HP 1100W
pump2 = 1HP 750W
pump3 = 1HP 750W
I would like to try to transition to solar but have 1 gazillion questions on how to make it work.
First thing to understand would be: Do i need to change the pumps to DC and run without inverter ?
It would be obviously preferable to leave the existing setup unchanged and run with an inverter but will it be able to cope with the spike current of start up ?
I know most inverters can handle spike startup currents but any miscalculation looks like it can be fatal...
Any ideas how i can design such a system by using inexpensive hardware ? LiFePO2 batteries vs Litium... BMS ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
