RoyalJai Solar Energy is born out of the passion to de-escalate pollution and escalate the adoption of mass solar. Two like-minded environment pros from IIT Bombay started SolarSquare in 2015 as a two-member pack. Now, we’re the 3rd largest EPC contractor for residential installations in India. We’ve helped 25,000+ homes go solar and have been helping our customers save up to 90% on their monthly electricity bills. We install both on-grid and hybrid solar systems. In the near future, we will start the installation of off-grid solar systems too. Some of the services that have set us apart from other vendors include the following.
An On-grid solar system aka a grid-tied solar system is connected to the grid. Most Indian households with a reliable grid connection count on the on-grid solar system for their electricity needs. And we, at SolarSquare, specialize in installing on-grid rooftop solar systems for both independent homes and housing societies.
The on-grid solar power plant for home is a careful arrangement of different components:
Solar panels are made up of solar cells. When they’re made of one single silicon crystal, the resulting panel is monocrystalline. When they’re made of multiple silicon crystals, the resulting panel is polycrystalline (multicrystalline).
The efficiency of both types differ but they work the same way.
Off grid solar panels trap sunlight and convert it into DC electricity. The one thing that should be taken care of at the time of installation is that the panels should not be clouded by shadows.
The power from solar panels is in the form of direct current. Home appliances run on AC power. This is where the solar inverter comes into the picture. It converts DC power into AC power. An off grid solar inverter, just like an on-grid inverter, is the heart of the solar system.
Off grid solar functions on batteries. During the sunshine hours, the electricity that the panels are producing is used to run the house. Whatever is extra is used to charge the batteries. That same power from the battery is then used to keep the house running at night.
The charge controller in off grid solar controls the charge. It’s in parallel with the solar inverter. The panels produce electricity that goes into the charge controller. It’s the charge control that feeds power into the inverter as well as uses the extra units to charge the batteries.
You have the panels and the inverter, but without proper mounting structures, the system cannot be set up. The mounting structures should be at a proper tilt angle (near perpendicular to the sun for as long as possible) so that they receive maximum sunlight.
Hot-dipped zinc galvanized mounting structures by SolarSquare are unbeatable quality products.
You know the major components of an off grid solar system but there are other accessories without which the system will not be safe. Here are the accessories we’re talking about:
