Does anyone have any experience running a swimming pool pump directly off
PV? I currently have a 1Hp AC pump that is running 8-10 hours a day. It
occurred to me that switching this pump out for one that is powered directly
off PV would be the cheapest way to start using PV power. It wouldn't need
to be grid tied. It wouldn't need battery backup, etc.
It seemed silly to pay for a grid tie 1500watt PV system if the pool pump is
already pulling more power than it would generate.
Are there any negatives to my plan? Any guesses on what it would cost?
thanks again,
mike
