solar energy for deepwell pump

Hi
Have a friend with a deep well pump 220v 3phase 2 hp .
He would like to add solar energy, there is always sun here in the tropics
I think solar panels and inverter , with on grid .
Is there a need for batteries?
Awaiting somebody to tell me about this

Better off deciding if a smaller pump can meet the requirements for water, and save power that way.

Obviously, knowing more about the motor (induction motors tend to run hotter with VFDs and their typical MSW output)... And finding a supplier that is knowledgeable about Solar Panels+VFDs+Water pumping.

Wind/solar for large scale pumping etc (out of my depth!)
could use knowledge - using Gould jet pump - transfering from 230vAC to ? DC
