I am looking into setting up a system to run a 5hp deep well pump. It takes around 4.5kw to startup and then requires about 2.5kw running power. I would like a self contained system such as the Growatt 5kw that I could tie onto the grid if needed. Still not sure if I want to add batteries to this system. The pump can sometimes run 24 hrs/day. Should I buy the Growatt 5kw system, should I use (15) 345 watt panels(please make suggestion if there is a better wattage to use), and what lithium battery setup should I use. Would this require a 48v system or can I get away with a 24v system?
Also, would I be able to tie a system such as this directly into the electric grid panel currently running the pump? Would anything be required to prevent power from going back onto the grid from my system and causing issues with my power company?
