An inverter is a DC-to-AC converter. AC solar pumping systems are growing in popularity, with new AC solar water pumping systems able to power standard 3-phase pumps.
If the pump is to be powered by an alternative power source, such as the electricity grid, a diesel generator, or a wind turbine, an AC inverter-based system may be required. This AC output could be combined with other AC electrical sources. An AC motor/pump would also be required.
