Solar panels generate power that you consume directly using devices and appliances, all through the day. If your usage is conservative, the excess unused power simply gets fed back into the power grid, adding credits to your electricity bill to offset your payment to the Board.
At night, when the panels are dormant sans sunlight, you consume power off the grid as always, like any other consumer.
These systems are ideal for residential properties, community and public buildings, businesses and schools since they offer the security or backup of still being connected to the power grid.
Designed and used by those that wish to generate and supply uninterrupted power for self-consumption and/or are located in remote areas with little or minimum access to grid, the Off-the-grid power system is an ideal self-sufficient option. You consume what you generate, and generate what you need. The catch here is, there could be low generation troughs in cloudy weather, and, obviously no generation at night.
At such times, the excess power generated during the day can be used from storage batteries. This adds another layer of investment and maintenance to the system, inflating the initial and running costs to some extent. However, it gives the consumer the edge of minimum dependency on the grid and a sense of self-sufficiency. Both individual units and small communities can benefit from this system, especially if mini grids and common systems can be created to cater to the community.
There are more people opting for this autonomy and self-sufficiency, and are called ‘off-gridders’.
Solar water pumps can be used for residences, farms or large agricultural applications. It is a self-sufficient mechanism that is independent of grid power, batteries etc. It runs on solar power and can be combined with all types of electrical water pumps; household, irrigation, drip-irrigation, submersible, surface or deep-well pumps.
A solar array is configured to suit the demands of the type of pump it is running. It is a trendous cost savings when compared to power usage or running pumps on diesel – besides being a clean, green solution.

Solar Water Heaters provide hot water using solar energy. A Solar Water Heater comprises of an array of solar collectors to collect solar energy and an insulated tank to store the hot water.Solar Water Heaters provide hot water using solar energy. A Solar Water Heater comprises of an array of solar collectors to collect solar energy and an insulated tank to store the hot water. During the day time, water in solar collectors gets heated which is either pumped or flows automatically using thermo-syphon principle into the storage tank. Hot water can then be stored and used for various purpose. There are typically two types of Solar Water Heaters; one based on flat plate collectors and the other based on evacuated tube collectors. Flat plate collector (FPC) based systems are of metallic type and have longer life as compared to Evacuated tube collector (ETC) based system because ETCs are made of glass which are of fragile in nature.
