An on-grid or grid-tied solar system is a system that works along with the grid. This means that any excess or deficiency of power can be fed to the grid through net metering. You will always have power either from the solar system or from the grid. They do not have batteries.

If you have a reliable electricity grid ( less then 2 hours power or electricity cut in day time ) and only want to save your electricity bill, on grid solar system is recommended for you.”

Off-grid systems work independently of the grid but have batteries which can store the solar power generated by the system. The system usually consists of solar panels, battery, charge controller, grid box, inverter, mounting structure and balance of systems.

If you are facing power-cut problem or don’t have a reliable grid and also want to reduce your electricity bill, then Off-grid solar system is recommended to you”

Solar hybrid power systems are hybrid power systems that combine solar power from a photovoltaic system with another power generating energy source. The diesel gensets are used to constantly fill in the gap between the present load and the actual generated power by the PV system.

The system operates on power generated using solar PV (photovoltaic) system. The photovoltaic array converts the solar energy into electricity, which is used for running the motor pump set. The pumping system draws water from the open well, bore well, stream, pond, canal etc.

Home lighting system is a compact, portable and easily mountable, economical solution to all your small energy needs. The solar energy generated by a home lighting system can be stored in the solar battery and used for lighting whenever required.

In rural areas, where electricity has no access, these solar lighting systems are not less than a boon. People residing in such regions can light up their homes, charge mobile phones and batteries, watch TVs and enjoy radios with a solar home lighting system.

For urban areas, a solar lighting system is an eco-friendly way to save on electricity costs. It can supply power to some of your home appliances reducing your dependency on the utility grid.

A Stand-Alone Solar Street Lighting system is equipped with a solar panel, a pole and a solar battery. That means, with each solar street light, you’ll get a separate solar panel and other components so that each solar light can stand alone independently.

These solar street lights are getting highly popular in India because of their high efficiency, independently working ability and sufficiently large light coverage.

A semi-integrated solar street lighting system comes with an integrated battery. All the other components are equipped externally to each solar light separately. Hence, the pole has a solar panel and a solar light with an in-built battery.

The semi-integrated solar lights reduce the chances of batteries getting stolen. The battery is designed with the latest technology to ensure low-maintenance and longer life of the product.

The integrated solar street lights are the latest kind of street lighting system. These lights come with all the components including the solar panel and the battery integrated within the solar light. No element of the system remains exposed.

Since it is an all-in-one solar street light, the integrated light is the lightest model among all and for this reason, it is gaining high popularity across the country.

This is the oldest and most developed of the three technologies. Monocrystalline panels as the name suggests are created from a single continuous crystal structure. A Monocrystalline panel can be identified from the solar cells which all appear as a single flat color.

Polycrystalline or Multicrystalline is a newer technology and its manufacturing process can vary.

Thin film panels are a totally different technology to mono and polycrystalline panels. They are a new technology compared to mono and polycrystalline cells and would not be considered a mature technology as vast improvements in this technology are expected in the next 10 years.

A bifacial solar panel is a two-faced energy plant that generates electricity using sunlight on both, front and rear side. Unlike traditional solar panel, a bifacial solar module has two faces to expose to sunlight.

Both sides of the bifacial are equipped with solar cells, usually monocrystalline. Though polycrystalline is also used. It is often frameless and is slim like a thin-filmed panel. A protective glass covers the top of the panel while the flipside is possibly a glass or an apparent back sheet. They have narrow and only vertical support to mount the solar panel. The junction box placed on the backside of the system is quite small in size. All this contributes to minimizing shading and hence increasing bifacial solar panel efficiency.
