An on-grid solar power plant is connected directly to the utility electricity grid, converting sunlight into electrical energy that both powers your home or business and feeds surplus energy back to the grid through net metering.
Key components include high-efficiency solar panels, a solar inverter to convert DC to AC electricity, mounting structures, and safety and metering devices.
Off-grid solar power plants operate independently from the utility grid, providing electricity in remote or rural areas with no grid access. These systems typically include solar panels, batteries for energy storage, charge controllers, and inverters.
The stored energy in batteries ensures a reliable power supply during nights or cloudy periods. Off-grid plants offer complete energy self-sufficiency, ideal for locations where grid connectivity is unavailable or unreliable.
Hybrid solar systems combine solar energy generation with both grid power and battery storage to maximize energy availability and efficiency. They allow users to use solar power when available, store excess electricity in batteries, and draw from the grid when solar or battery power is insufficient.
Hybrid solutions provide flexibility, better energy security, and cost savings by optimizing power use from various sources. These systems are popular for commercial setups and homes seeking uninterrupted power supply and energy management control.
Solar water heaters use solar thermal technology to harness sunlight for heating water, offering an energy-efficient alternative to conventional electric or gas water heaters. The system typically includes solar collector panels, a storage tank, and circulation pumps.
Solar water heaters reduce energy consumption, lower utility bills, and contribute to environmental sustainability by decreasing reliance on fossil fuels. They are ideal for residential, commercial, and industrial applications needing hot water supply with minimal operational costs.
Battery Energy Storage Systems store excess solar-generated electricity for later use, enhancing the reliability and stability of renewable energy installations. BESS components include batteries (often lithium-ion), battery management systems, inverters, and control software.
They enable time-shifting of energy consumption, peak shaving, and grid stabilization services, supporting both off-grid and hybrid solar setups. BESS solutions ensure continuous power availability, improve energy independence, and facilitate integration of renewable energy with conventional power grids.
