Rooftop installation

Solar is the energy source that has the potential to become the backbone of the country’s energy supply in the long term.Rooftop solar power is a back-up power source which is being increasingly embraced by commercial, industrial and residential consumers as a significant contributor to their energy mix and because it combines on-site generation of power, utilising unused rooftop space, reasonable cost, reduction in transmission and distribution losses.The rooftop PV system is photovoltaic system that has its electricity generating solar panels mounted on the rooftop of buildings.

ON-GRID ROOFTOP SPV SYSTEM
(Grid connected System)

This is a battery-less system that consists of grid-tie inverter and solar panels. This system is maintenance-free and helps in saving money on electricity bills. It is also possible to sell surplus solar energy to state electricity board through net-metering arrangement .

OFF-GRID ROOFTOP SPV SYSTEM
(Grid Independent System)

Off-the- grid is a system without the support electrical grid.It is stand-alone power system or mini-grids typically to provide a smaller community with electricity. This system is suitable in areas without electricity grid or power cuts of 7+ hours.

HYBRID-GRID ROOFTOP SPV SYSTEM
(Grid connected System)

Hybrid solar systems combines the best from grid-tied and off-grid solar systems.It is suitable for areas that face frequent power cuts because it lets you save extra solar energy in batteries for use during power cuts. These systems provide you with full energy security .
