A rectifier, voltage regulator and inverter are used to convert this stored energy into alternating current for household application HOWEVER, induction motors require excessive current to start, the battery bank to power induction motors would be cost-prohibitive, not the mention it's doubtful you could convert enough sunlight to maintain a usable current.<br><b>References : </b><br> A pool water pump is a electric-induction motor, solar power is harnessed by using photo-voltaic cells(solar panels) to change sunlight in to eletrical current (DC) and store that energy in a battery bank.
