Generate amps or Generate watts?

Generate amps or Generate watts?
There is an equipment that generates 450amps AC and this equipment is a water generation machine (Dehumidifier) not a pumping machine it extracts water from the atmosphere and converts it to drinking water. We are not sizing for a battery backup just sizing for solar panels and inverter cause there will be no batteries involved. Please can your come up with the number of panel we need to power this equipment for a day and the machine is to work from dawn till dusk. I need to know the sizing of the panels, inverters and any other thing you think we will need but there will be no battery charger as there is no battery. What voltage do you think we should use,48 VDC or ? Is it possible to use the solar panel to generate the amps and power the amps at 48v instead of generating power for the watt with the panels? I think we can power amps. Using an inverter 48V 450amp should generate 450amps and 220v across the inverter. Is this possible?

sir,

  this post makes no sense to me? either it is way over my head or we have have a communications problem. we need to go to the equipment or spec sheet from the manufacturer and get the power requirements. get all the numbers you can find with any letters with those numbers such as w, v, va, a, ac, dc, hz or other combinations of letters and numbers. or just copy the whole sticker.

 could this machine of yours be (generating) 450 ampules of water per hour? where did that 450amps come from? thats alotta juice.

good luck.

 fantastic! you have the spec sheet.

 my dial up is very slow downloading files of any size and to keep this a true open forum we can stick that pdf file into a free file sharing site for all to have a peak at.

 i just put this 600kb photo up. heres a link-sort of
      http://www.sendspace.com/file/w2o74o

 you will have to cut and paste because i still have not figured out how to post a live link here.

 ok so post it at sendspace and provide the file id back here and the forum can have a go at being of some help.

 all the best
