1. An on-grid solar system, also known as a grid-tied system, is a solar power setup that is directly connected to the local electricity grid. It utilizes solar panels to generate electricity and sends any excess power back to the grid, often earning credits through net metering programs. When solar production is insufficient (e.g., at night or on cloudy days), the system draws power from the grid. On-grid systems are generally more cost-effective than off-grid systems due to the absence of battery storage requirements.

2. An off-grid solar system is a standalone power system that generates and stores electricity independently without the main electrical grid. It is ideal for locations where grid connection is unreliable or expensive, such as remote areas. These systems utilize solar panels, batteries, and an inverter to provide a self-sufficient power supply. It is also used an alternative of DG set for power backup. You generate your own power, reducing reliance on the grid and potentially saving on electricity bills.

3. A hybrid solar system combines on-grid (grid-tied) and off-grid solar power systems, integrating solar panels, battery storage, and grid connectivity. It captures solar energy during the day, stores excess power in batteries for later use, and draws from the grid when needed. This offers a reliable and sustainable power supply, enhancing energy independence and reducing reliance on traditional energy sources.

4. Solar street lights are outdoor lighting systems powered by solar energy. They use photovoltaic panels to convert sunlight into electricity, which is then stored in batteries for use at night. This eliminates the need for grid power, reducing energy costs and environmental impact. A photocell or motion sensor detects darkness and triggers the LED to turn on, and the system automatically switches off when daylight returns. They come on All-in-One, Semi-integrated or other conventional systems.
SHIVALI ENTERPRISES offers a wide range of Solar Street lights and installation services.
5. A solar inverter is a crucial component of a solar power system that converts the direct current (DC) electricity generated by solar panels into alternating current (AC) electricity, which is the type of electricity used by household appliances and the electrical grid. Without a solar inverter, the DC electricity produced by solar panels would be unusable for most applications. Different types of solar inverters exist, such as string inverters, micro-inverters, and hybrid inverters, each with its own characteristics and suitability for different applications.

6. A solar water heater SWH is a system that heats water using energy from the sun. It typically consists of solar collectors (panels) that absorb sunlight and convert it into heat, which is then transferred to a storage tank to provide hot water for various uses. These systems are a cost-effective and environmentally friendly way to heat water, reducing reliance on traditional energy sources. They come in flat plate collectors FPC or evacuated tube collectors ETC.
SHIVALI ENTERPRISES offers a wide range of solar water heater SWH and installation services.
7. A Solar Pumping System for Agriculture uses solar panels to generate electricity, which then powers a water pump for irrigation or other agricultural needs. This system is a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to traditional pumps powered by electricity from the grid or fossil fuels. In India, the government has also launched schemes like the PM-KUSUM scheme to promote the adoption of solar water pumps, offering subsidies and support to farmers.
Applications:
Irrigation: Supplying water for crops in fields.
Livestock Watering: Providing water for animals.
Aquaculture: Supplying water for fish farming.
Drinking Water: Providing clean water for communities.
8. A solar rooftop system is a photovoltaic (PV) system installed on the roof of a building to generate electricity from sunlight. It typically includes solar panels, an inverter, and other electrical components like wiring and mounting structures. The system converts sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity, which is then converted to alternating current (AC) by the inverter for use in the building or to be fed back into the grid. In India, the government has also launched schemes like the PM-SURYA GHAR MUFT BIJLI YOJNA to promote the adoption of solar power, offering subsidies and support to the domestic users. SHIVALI ENTERPRISES is an approved EPC vendor under PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojna.
9. A solar panel is a device that converts sunlight into electricity or heat. It's typically made up of many photovoltaic (PV) cells, which use semiconductor materials like silicon to generate an electric current when exposed to light. This electricity can then be used to power homes, businesses, or other electrical devices. It comes in different wattages and with different type of photovoltaic (PV) cells.
SHIVALI ENTERPRISES offers a wide range of solar panels.
10. Solar installations refer to the process of setting up photovoltaic (PV) systems to convert sunlight into electricity. This involves installing solar panels, inverters, mounting systems, and other electrical components to create a functional solar power system. These installations can be used for residential, commercial, or utility-scale power generation.
• Types of Installations:
• Residential: Typically, smaller systems installed on rooftops of homes. Capacities 1kw to 10 kw or more.
• Commercial: Larger installations on the rooftops or ground of commercial buildings. 1kw to 250kw or more depending upon the usages and available space.
• Utility-scale: Very large solar farms that generate electricity for the power grid under sale-purchase agreements. Can be 50 kw to multi-MW capacities.
• Benefits:
• Solar installations offer numerous advantages, including:
• Renewable energy: Solar power is a clean and sustainable energy source.
• Reduced electricity costs: Homeowners and businesses can significantly lower their energy bills.
• Environmental benefits: Reducing reliance on fossil fuels and lowering carbon emissions.
• Increased property value: Solar panels can add value to a property.

11. Medium voltage (MV) installations in solar systems refer to the electrical infrastructure that handles power transmission within a solar farm, typically ranging from 0.44kV to 33kV. These installations are crucial for collecting and transmitting the electricity generated by solar panels to transformers and then to the grid.
• Careful planning of cable routes is essential to minimize cable length, energy loss, and to facilitate maintenance.
• MV cables in solar installations are often exposed to outdoor conditions, requiring durable materials and proper sealing to withstand temperature fluctuations, UV radiation, and other environmental stresses.
