As the name suggests, off-grid solar power systems do not stay connected to the utility grid. This type of home solar system will be the only option for you, if your home is in remote locations, far off from any power grid. You can stay completely free from the hassles of using electricity from the grid.
Why Choose Off-Grid Solar Power System Installation
The off-grid solar installation can be a really good alternative power source for remote regions with no electricity facility. Here are the major benefits of investing in off-grid solar power systems:
Staying Energy Independent
The off-grid solar system offers you complete freedom from the power grid. This means you will not remain connected to the power grids. You will become independent in terms of energy generation for your household.
Stop Paying Electricity Bills
Electricity bills are getting costly. After solar installation, your off grid solar power system will generate free electricity in the next 25 years. If you want to save money from high electricity bills, you can choose off-grid solar panel installation.
Installation Flexibility
You can choose off grid solar power system installation anywhere, irrespective of whether there is grid connectivity. Go for off-grid solar installation, if the location is shed-free from 9 AM to 5 PM.
Avoid Power Outages
An on-grid solar cannot work during a power outage but an off-grid solar can. Power cuts can happen anytime. So, if your area’s electricity connection is irregular, you can choose an off-grid solar set up.
Good Return on Investment
Even if the off-grid solar requires a high initial investment, you will start generating free electricity from the first day. Your solar investment can bring 20% - 40% returns every year. You will get back your investment in the next 4 - 5 years. For the next 25 - 26 years, you will get continuous returns.
Environment Friendly
Unlike fossil fuels, off-grid solar power systems do not release carbon or greenhouse gases to the environment. By choosing off-grid solar installation, you can contribute to a better environment for your future generation.

What is an Off-Grid Solar System?
Off grid solar power systems are not connected to power grids. It stores the produced energy directly into solar batteries. Based on your requirements, you can choose the size of your power backup system.
The energy produced can be used later to run your household appliances. Off grid solar stores the energy in DC form and the off grid inverter converts it into AC electricity before use.
Components of Off-Grid Solar Systems and Their Working
An off grid solar power system mainly contains 4 major components– solar panel, inverter, solar battery, charge controller and other components. Here are the details:
Solar Panels
Solar panel is the most important part of an off-grid solar energy plant. It transforms the solar energy into DC electricity. There are different types of panels based on technology such as Mono PERC, Mono PERC Bifacial, TOPCon (n-type & p-type), and HJT solar panels.
Charge Controller
The charge controller maintains the health of solar batteries by protecting against overcharging. There are two types of charge controllers: MPPT & PWM.
MPPT charge controllers are suitable for large solar systems. For a small-size solar system, a PWM charge controller is enough.
Solar Inverter
An off-grid solar inverter converts DC power into AC. This is required as your home appliances can only run with AC power. Based on your system size and requirement, you have to choose the capacity of the inverter.
Solar Battery
Solar battery is one of the most expensive and sensitive components of an off grid solar energy plant. Solar batteries need to be changed at least 2 – 3 times during the life span of the solar plant.
Mounting Structure
The mounting structure holds your solar panels at the installation location. It helps to maintain the correct tilt angle. It also helps to hold the panels correctly during storms or any other weather condition.
We at Das Energie Private Limited offer all these components at reasonable prices. Contact us to choose from the best of the brands in India and select the one that is best suited for your home or commercial needs.
How Does Off-Grid Solar System Work?
Below is the working method of an off-grid solar energy plant:
Step 1: Capturing Solar Energy
Solar panels capture the energy of the sun and convert that into solar energy in direct current (DC).
Step 2: Storing the Energy
The energy is then directly stored in solar batteries. After 100% charge, the charge controller will stop the further charging.
Step 3: DC to AC Conversion
When you need to use the stored energy, the inverter will convert it from DC to AC energy. You can use the energy stored during the night or power outages.
On the next day, the same thing happens and it works as a cycle.
Cost of Off-Grid Solar System
Here is a list of the approximate cost of off-grid solar panel installation:
Capacity | Installation Price* |
1 kW | Rs. 1,14,000 to Rs. 1,78,000 |
2 kW | Rs. 1,80,000 to Rs. 2,35,000 |
3 kW | Rs.2,38,000 to Rs.3,26,000 |
4 kW | Rs. 3,30,000 to Rs. 4,00,000 |
5 kW | Rs. 4,40,500 to Rs. 5,13,000 |
8 kW | Rs. 5,50,000 to Rs. 6,20,000 |
10 kW | Rs. 6,28,052 to Rs. 8,35,197 |
Note: The prices can vary as per the backup requirements. If backup is needed for 6 to 7 hours, the battery size will increase and so will the overall price of the system.
How to Choose the Right Capacity of Off-Grid Solar System for You?
To find the right size for your off-grid solar power plant, you have to consider your monthly household electricity consumption or electricity bill. Here is a table to help you:
Monthly Energy Requirement (Units) | Recommended Solar PV System (kW) |
Upto 150 Units | 1 kW |
Upto 300 Units | 2 kW |
Upto 450 Units | 3 kW |
Upto 750 Units | 5 kW |
Upto 1,500 Units | 10 kW |
An off-grid solar installation is the best option for places where there are no grids for distributing electricity.
