Similarities Between Solar, and Electric Submersible Pumps
-
- they both work under water
- each has an electric motor to power it
- they both use an electric current
Difference Between Solar, and Electric Submersible Water Pumps
- solar pumps use direct current (DC), electric pumps use alternating current
- electric pumps motors are further categorised as single or 3 phase. This does not apply to solar pumps
- with an inverter to change current from DC to AC, an electric pump’s motor will run on solar panels
- solar pumps are more expensive for the same specs as electric pumps
- solar pumps will require denser cables for the same specs as electric pumps
- electric pumps are more expensive in the long-term because of power bills. The running cost of a solar pumps is negligible
- some smaller solar pumps can be battery powered directly in the absence of sunlight
