Even second inverter won't do it, I'm almost sure, because it's a 
2-wire pump. I never heard of a 2-wire bigger than 3/4 HP!

Do NOT recommend a 2-wire pump. That means it doesn't have a 
start-relay control box, and it's even harder to start. A 3-wire has 
a control box and a separate start winding that cuts out after 
startup.

Our web site www.dankoffsolar.com  water supply section has a chart 
of inverter requirements for various pump HP, plus some other notes 
on the matter.

A 48V DC pump may be another possibility.
