Affordable Solar & Wind

I need to power a 120V water pump that requires 8 Amps constant to run. I need solar to do it. Ideas?

Im trying to install a solar system to run a 120V 8 Amp draw Water pump. I want to use a Solar Array to run it. Can anyone suggest a setup including panels and an inverter that would work for this? I need a constant 1248 watts. I will be using a battery array also.

If you are going to run this pump continuously, the cost is prohibitive. A 12vdc 2a panel is about 2x4foot and cost between $150-350. You would need over 50 panels to run it (considering waste heat from the inverter.) Each panel puts out 26watts in full sun. In Phoenix, the average full sun hours is about 6hours/day. In Duluth, Mn, the average FSH is 4.5. I have built and ran a photovoltaic system for a home I lived in the 1980s. The biggest problem was battery storage. It turns out that one needs about 1.5months worth of storage. In your case you would roughly need over 10,000amphrs of 12v batteries. All those panels and batteries and accompanying inverter will allow you to run the pump 24hr/day, 365days/year. Several suggestions - run the pump during daylight and use an elevated tank for water/energy storage for dark hours - Get a smaller pump - Instead of one 120vac big pump, switch to several 12dc smaller pumps (ditch the inverter, I used all 12vdc lights and appliances, never bothered with an inverter). If you have extra know how, place the panels on trackers to follow the sun, you'd save a panel or two and maybe 1 or 2 batteries.
