This represents different specifications of the module battery chip, G12 means the full module battery chip is 210mm*210mm, M10 means the full module battery chip is 182mm*182mm, M6 means the full module battery chip is 166mm*166mm.

It means that the discharge capacity of the battery accounts for xx% of the rated capacity, and DOD means the discharge depth. The battery discharge depth can be expressed in the form of A · h or DOD percentage.

Hybrid means that the energy storage system can be on-grid and off-grid. Off-grid means that the energy storage system is isolated from the public grid and cannot be sold electricity to the state.

Solar power plants are mainly available in three different types. The first one is the on grid solar power plant, second is off grid solar power plant and the third is hybrid solar power plant. On-Grid Solar System – Saving + Grid Export Off-Grid Solar System – Saving + Backup Hybrid Solar System – On-grid + Off-grid Being attracted by the advantages of going solar, many people are switching towards making solar energy their main source of energy. But before doing that, one should always be careful while selecting the type of solar power plant. Since it is the major thing that decides whether the power plant will prove to be beneficial for you or not. If you are ready to switch to a solar power plant but you are concerned about which type is best for you, we are here to provide you with complete details about all the types of solar power plant.

All type of solar power system is different from each other on the basis of their specifications and features while all solar power system works on same principle. Also, some of the components are different in each type of solar power system. Starting with the basics, the main point of difference between on-grid, off-grid and hybrid solar power plant lies in their relationship with the utility grid. An on-grid solar system works with the utility grid while off-grid does not bother about the same. Moreover, a hybrid system depends partly on it.

Off grid solar power plant is a system with battery bank. It can store the energy generated by the system to be used for future needs. Solar battery will ensure a non-stop power supply at times when there is no sunlight. This solar system works by converting sunlight into electricity to run your connected load. The excess electricity will be stored in solar batteries automatically. That means, there will be no power shortage in the absence of sunlight (at night or in a cloudy atmosphere).n upcoming sections.

All of the above-mentioned types of solar power plants can further be divided into two sub-categories. These two categories are: Solar Power Plant For Home (On-Grid/Off-Grid/Hybrid) Commercial Solar Power Plant (Mainly in On-Grid & Hybrid)

This type of power plant store unconsumed power in batteries, provided by the solar system. The addition of solar inverter allows this system to convert DC electrical current coming from the batteries into AC (alternating current). AC is the standard form of electricity for anything that “plugs in” to utility power and is the appropriate current for common household appliances. The stored energy serves as electricity when required.

With a Hybrid Solar System, you can use solar energy day and night. You can also programme your battery to recharge during the cheap off-peak power, which enables you to maximise solar use and energy savings.

8 to 10 hours long power backup (depending upon load) Net metering feature with solar battery option Works even when the electricity grid is not available Ideal for areas where is no electricity or power cuts problem Can run heavy electronics like AC, fridge, coolers, etc. Return on investment within 3 to 5 years 25 to 30 years long working life 30 to 70% government subsidy on solar Disadvantages Expensive compare to other types of the solar system

A hybrid solar power plant is the most expandable system that is future-ready since it uses both a battery and the grid. With a hybrid setup, you can maximise power consumption while using less electricity from the grid. Hence, this system ensures a constant power supply while reducing your electricity bill.

That depends on how much electricity your home uses, where you live, your combination of day & night time energy use, the rate your electricity company charges – both fixed and variable and several other factors. If you are home during the day, you can expect to reduce your monthly electricity bill, by at least 50%

Yes, you will still be able to run a few critical appliances or devices, from the energy stored in your battery. However, as a safety feature, the solar system will not be feeding additional energy into your home, or onto the grid.

Yes. A system with solar panels facing in a southerly direction will generate far less than one with a northerly aspect. However, east/west installations can be a good option depending on the installation scenario. We can look at your property and provide evidence-backed figures of generation and potential savings.

1. Maximise Solar Energy Use Any solar energy you don’t use during the day is stored for later use. 2. Solar Power Day and Night Solar Energy can be used during peak nighttime power rates, increasing your savings potential. Now you don’t have to be home during the day to enjoy the benefits of solar power. 3. Less Expensive than Off-Grid Because you can draw on Grid-Power when needed, you don’t need a backup generator, and the capacity of your battery bank can be downsized. Off-peak electricity from the utility company is cheaper and cleaner than diesel. 4. Capitalise on the Smart Network Fill the Battery when power rates are low, draw on the battery when power rates are high. And in the future sell your excess power back to the Grid at a premium when demand is high.

How Solar Power Works Solar modules capture the light from the sun, and through the photo-voltaic properties of the panels the light is converted into electricity. The conversion takes place within the specially fabricated semiconductor crystals comprising the cells of the solar panels. The electricity produced however is DC power which we need to convert into usable AC power. The job of the inverter is to do just this. It transforms the raw DC power into 240 Volt AC electricity which is suitable for ordinary household needs.

Most homes select to install “grid-connected” Solar PV systems. This type of system has a number of great benefits, not only for the individual home-owner but for the community and environment at large. The systems are much cheaper to install and involve far less maintenance than “off-grid” systems. Generally speaking, off-grid systems are used in very remote locations where power is not available or where the grid is very unreliable. The “grid” we are referring to of course is the physical connection that most residential homes and businesses have with their electricity providers. Those power-poles we’re all so familiar with are an integral part of “the grid”. By installing a “grid-connected” Solar System to your home you are not “unplugging” from the grid but you become for a part your own electricity generator. The electricity you produce via your solar panels is used first and foremost in powering your own home. Its preferable to design the system as much as possible for 100% own use. You can apply for net metering, and in that case you can sell the excess of electricity back to the DU.

Off-grid solar means meeting all your energy needs from the power of the sun — with no help from the electrical grid. To make this possible, you need to install a solar power system paired with an energy storage system, like a solar battery, at the site of power consumption (your home).

A solar panel mounting structure is a hardware for install solar panel Solar panels are fixed at any place by using a mounting structure. A mounting structure holds your solar panel and combine multiple panels together.

Not all locations for solar system installation are the same. There are different applications, terrain and environmental references. Hence, an individual structure can not be favourable to every single customer. And this calls for the need for several types of solar mounting structures. So there are three types of solar mounting structures namely: 1. Rooftop Mounting Structure 2. Tin Shed Mounting Structure 3. Ground Mounting Structure All these 3 types of solar mounting structure can further be classified into several categories. Below is the detailed information about all types of solar panel mounting structure.

Racking is also known as solar panel mounting system. Racking is basically a system which is used to install/fix solar panel on various surfaces like roofs, sheds, grounds etc.

Your solar panel should be south facing at approx. 20-25 degree angle.

The production level of any solar system depends on its capacity. For various commercial solar system an average production standard is mentioned below: For 20kW solar system – 80 kwh/day (2400 kwh/month) For 40kW solar system – 160 kwh/day (4800 kwh/month) For 50kW solar system – 200 kwh/day (6000 kwh/month) For 100kW solar system – 400 kwh/day (12000 kwh/month)

It depends upon the capacity of the solar system that you are installing for your business. We are providing you an idea about the requirement of solar panel: 20kW solar PV system – 50 panels (400 Watt) 40kW solar PV system – 100 panels (400 Watt) 75kW solar PV system – 188 panels (400 Watt) 100kW solar PV system – 250 panels (400 Watt)
