What is off-grid solar?
Your Own Independent Power Plant
An off-grid system isn't connected to the electricity grid. Solar panels charge a battery bank during the day, and an off-grid inverter supplies your appliances from the panels and the batteries, day and night. Because everything you use must come from your own generation and storage, the system is sized carefully around your daily load.
- Power where the grid doesn't reach: farms, remote homes, construction sites and telecom sites
- No bills, no outages: your supply doesn't depend on the DISCOM
- Quiet and clean: replaces or reduces diesel generator use

Who it's for
Is Off-Grid Right for You?
Farms & agriculture
Run pumps, lights and cold storage away from the grid.
Very long power cuts
Areas with hours-long daily outages where backup is essential.
Construction & site offices
Temporary or mobile sites that need clean, quiet power.
Telecom & equipment
Critical loads that must run around the clock.
Replacing diesel gensets
Cut fuel costs, noise and fumes with solar + storage.
Living in a city with grid power? A hybrid system usually makes more sense than fully off-grid: you keep net metering savings, stay eligible for subsidy (depending on configuration), and still get battery backup during power cuts. Our engineer will recommend the right option at your free site visit.
Battery sizing
How Much Battery Do You Need?
A rough guide for homes. We size every system to your actual appliances and backup hours.
| Typical use | Daily need | Solar size | Battery (usable) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lights, fans, Wi-Fi, TV | 3–4 units | 1–2 kW | 2–3 kWh |
| + fridge, mixer, washing machine | 6–8 units | 2–3 kW | 5–7 kWh |
| + one 1.5-ton inverter AC (a few hours) | 10–14 units | 4–5 kW | 10–12 kWh |
| Farm pump / small business | Varies | Custom design after site survey | |
Indicative only. Battery size depends on backup hours, appliance ratings and days of autonomy you want for cloudy weather.
Compare
On-Grid vs Off-Grid vs Hybrid
Not sure which is right for you? Here's how the three system types compare.
| On-grid | Off-grid | Hybrid | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Connected to the grid | Yes | No | Yes |
| Battery | No | Yes (essential) | Yes |
| Power during outages | No (shuts down for safety) | Yes | Yes, for backed-up loads |
| Net metering | Yes | No | Yes |
| PM Surya Ghar subsidy (homes) | Eligible | Not eligible | Ask us: depends on configuration |
| Upfront cost | Lowest | Highest | Medium–high |
| Best for | Most city homes & businesses with reliable grid | Remote sites, farms, no or very weak grid | Homes & shops with frequent power cuts |
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is off-grid solar eligible for the PM Surya Ghar subsidy?
No. PM Surya Ghar subsidy is for grid-connected rooftop systems. Off-grid systems are usually funded fully by the owner, though some state or agricultural schemes may apply. We'll check what's available for you.
Which battery should I choose: lithium or lead-acid?
Lithium (LiFePO4) batteries cost more upfront but last much longer, need no maintenance and can be discharged more deeply. Tubular lead-acid batteries are cheaper initially but need regular topping-up and replacement sooner.
How long do the batteries last?
Good lithium batteries typically last 8–10+ years; lead-acid batteries usually 3–5 years, depending on use and care. Panels last 25+ years.
Can I start on-grid and add a battery later?
Yes. We can design your system so a hybrid inverter and battery can be added later without replacing your panels.
