RESIDENTIAL SOLAR POWER SYSTEMS TO REDUCE YOUR ELECTRICITY BILL AND CONTRIBUTE TO GREEN ENVIRONMENT
Generate your own electricity using shadow free space on your roof. Investing in Solar Power System for your home is one of the best investments you will do to protect yourself from future energy rate increase, earning from vacant rooftop and help environment by turning to clean energy. Although with new government incentive you can recover your investment in 3 to 4 years but in actual you are spending money anyways on current power bills. Investing in Solar system is only diversion of funds from paying electricity bills to pay off your own power generation plant. Installing Solar Power system is like paying off your own home rather than living on rent.
There are three types of Solar Systems:
1. GRID TIE Solar PV System:
Grid tie Solar system is connected to the existing electrical grid and allows you to use solar energy as well as electricity from the grid. Grid tie system allow homes or businesses to get power from either from Solar system or existing utility grid. The intelligent invertor in Grid tie solar system makes it seamless to switch between Grid tied PV system and grid (existing electricity connection). When your Grid tied system is producing more power than your home or business is consuming, the excess power can often be sent back to grid known as net metering. When your system is not producing enough power during cloudy, foggy or non-daylight hours your home can draw power from utility grid. So, you are using grid as backup system.
2. Hybrid Solar System:
This system combines solar panels and batteries to provide a backup energy supply. It remains connected to the national grid, but any solar energy generated is first stored in the home battery before going to the grid.A hybrid solar system can switch between two operating modes: grid-tied and off-grid. This is achieved by combining two key components:
You can use only traditional solar power systems when connected to the grid. Solar panels cannot always provide a stable power supply for home appliances. If a cloud passes by, there will be an inevitable drop in power generation. The same concept applies to night time when no sunlight is available. In this case, you can cover any gaps in solar output using grid energy.
Hybrid solar systems use a battery system to provide energy even when your panels are disconnected from the grid. If the electricity output of your solar panels decreases due to cloudy conditions, a charged solar battery can sustain a stable voltage and power output. In other words, hybrid PV systems can interact with the local electricity grid but don’t depend on it.
3. Off Grid Solar System:
Off Grid Solar System allow you to store your solar power in batteries for use when the power grid goes down or if you are not on the grid. Off Grid solar system are more expensive and cannot be expected to provide power for all your loads due to prohibitive cost of batteries.
To deal with frequent power outages, rooftops of small houses are best suited for the installation of small solar power packs in the free space available. The typical electrical load in domestic use is for lights, fans, televisions, refrigerators, computers, etc.
A typical small solar power system of 1 KW is adequate to run a load of approximately 300 watts for four hours with a small battery bank, depending on solar installation. The solar energy from panels is directly converted to electrical energy by solar modules. This can be used immediately to drive the loads or stored in batteries for usage at the time of power outages.
Standalone systems can also be used in rural areas where the grid is not available. The system can charge the batteries during day and provide electricity to drive lighting load at night. The solar system does not require maintenance; regular cleaning of modules can keep the system up and running.

All solar panels are not created equal
If you think all solar panels are the same? Think again. When you are buying solar panels, you are buying it for at least 25 years. Select an experienced manufacturer that builds its products for the long-run to maximize your return on investment with worry-free performance.
Experience matters
TATA POWER SOLAR is only company in India with more than 30 years of experience in solar and manufacture its own cells and panels. There are more than hundred new start-up solar companies today with cheap imports and it’s tough to know which panels to choose.
Choose long-term production over efficiency
Many Solar Panel manufacturers are projecting efficiency of their panels (rated power per square foot) as the most important feature of a solar panel. However, making a panel more efficient can actually limit its long-term performance, yielding less energy over the life of your system.
Superior design and installation
All our installers are factory trained in for best safety and installation practices and have to go through stringent requirements of regular audit to ensure they meet and exceeds TATA POER SOLAR high standards.
