New inverters for solar pumps

Frequency inverters to decrease pump speed

Pedrollo solar pump inverters



Our supplier told us that they got a supplier providing inverters that could easily convert the pumps from the utility into solar panel array use.

All that we have to do is to install the solar panel array and the inverter which he will provide to convert the existing pumps and system (maybe plug and play) without replacing existing pumps.

The solar power pumps could be used for:

1.  fresh water operations (for drinking)
2.  for STP (sewage treatment plant);  anything that needs electric motors to run;

Comparison of solar water system with diesel

The article/website would show that solar water system are cheaper and more advantageous over  diesel in the long run



As we biked yesterday at Quezon, this writer saw numerous pumping stations of water district.  These pumps use a lot of electricity and would seem to constitute 50%+ of water costs.

The fuel rollback would seem to be appeasement to future shocks from electricity costs increase.  Do not be surprised if Meralco, a DU under the control of a monopoly, and (probably with ERC as its ally) would see electricity costs running up to P20.00+ in the next 10 years.  It is time that many water facility operators change to solar:   golf courses, farms, local water districts, farms.

Power inverters basics

#solarpanels at every rooftop

Power inverters are basic components of solar system.  They convert DC to AC (the house current being used)  however we foresee the manufacture of DC appliances.  The CP, laptops, and electric fans are now DC powered.   Inverters use energy and energy can be further saved by doing away with inverters.  (why transformers are hot and need cooling system  --->like in high voltage transmission  --> the reduction in voltage cause generation of heat.

Credit Union financing of solar

From Sovensolar - Economics the guiding light in solar progress

This is obvious in Vermont Community Solar's partnership with Green Mountain Credit Union. They are pushing the solar industry forward by supplying loans to people secured by only the panels. No home equity need by tied up by what may seem like another big ticket item. The Credit Union see that solar equity is a stable investment. This is because PV panels will keep producing electricity even if the owner of the panel defaults on the loan. The credits can still accrue without inflation. Unlike electric rates which inflate at even a higher rate than the dollar.

What this study by Citigroup highlights is that Green Mountain Credit Union is not alone in this sort of thinking. Investment in solar has never looked so good. This is true both in a green energy mind set as well as a stabilizing economic force.

The full Citigroup report can be found here.

Bias vs solar in the Philippines- is it justified.

#solarpanels at every rooftop


It should be about $0.05 next year (or P2.50) equal to natural gas.


In the energy sector in the Philippines, solar energy is not much in favor:

1.   Power costs are expensive compared to hydro (about P2.00 kwh) or nuclear (same amount)  coal  (P3.00/kwh)  bunker fuel  (P3.00 kwh)   Then it goes up solar about P8.00, diesel reciprocating P20.00.  For base loads, solar can not be used.  

2.  High FIT (feed in tariff and ERC has restricted the load that is eligible for  FIT) of P8.00+

Elsewhere in the world, in Germany, the highest user, the rooftop solar has put even clean burning fossil fuel plants like CNG/LNG plants.   In Australia, solar panels and other renewables has put fossil fuel fired plants (coal) out of business (well because of the very high carbon tax in Australia -  they are very serious about their carbon emission, greenhouse gases, global warming/climate change and for RIGHT REASONS)

Price range of solar power kits (solar generator set)

#solarpanels at every rooftop




From Eco business links

Off grid solar power generator set - consist of:

2 solar panels

2  x 100 aH batteries
1 charging station

This solar generator set can set you back by $2,000 (about P90,000)

A gasoline diesel generator 1 kVA would cost about P25,000 but consume for an 8 hour standby mode of about P100,000 worth of gasoline.  Break even on first year? ( or lamang ang solar?  P90,000 lang ang cap ex at op ex!!)

The price range is from $1.53 to $5.00 per watt (P45.00 to P245.00 watt.  So the quotes to us of P155,000 to P195,000 per kW looks within the price range.   However these are US prices and we expect that since we are near source -  China, our price would be much much lower.  Has the port congestion and BOC problems contributed to higher PV cost?
