While it's technically possible for you to connect a solar panel directly to an AC or DC water pump, it's not advisable to do so. Don't leave yet—understanding system design is key to long-term savings and performance. Solar panels produce a type of electricity called direct current (DC), and most homes and the power grid run on a form known as alternating current (AC). If it's a 24v DC pump and a 24v DC battery, where does the inverter come in to play? Aaahhh, I see now, the wall wart. You can snip the wire off the wall wart, stripping it should be a red and a black. .
