Introduction

Electricity is the most basic and essential requirement in sustaining and improving the quality of life. Uninterrupted supply of electricity upon demand (for households, communities in urban or rural areas, for offices, commercial establishments and industries), is the most basic of requirements to ensure improvement in the quality of life and productivity. While the national and state governments in India have taken several steps in the past to address this issue, lack of steady source of grid electricity due to limited generation or due to unavailability of transmission infrastructure causes severe hardship to people especially in rural areas. Approximately 10 crore rural families rely on kerosene for lighting in India.

Battery back-up when sunlight is not available Easy installation

Surya Gruha SPV Kit Performance Solar Semiconductors Surya Gruha SPV kit systems are designed for reliable power supply in remote and rural areas where grid electricity is either not available or not reliable. The Solar PV Kit does not incur any fuel costs. O&M and replacement costs are also minimal. A typical Surya Gruha SPV kit system can provide electricity for the following load. One Fan

5 CFLs Energy of the Sun is used to generate clean electricity, which drives rural household energy One TV/Radio needs. Surya Gruha SPV kit for electrification of rural home offered by Solar Semiconductor provides an off-grid, long term (over 25 years), reliable solution.

The Surya Gruha SPV Kit advantages: No fuel cost, minimal operating and maintenance costs: o Since the fuel source is the Sun, there is an inexhaustible source of clean energy over the life of the SPV system o Highly reliable system with no moving parts and modules have a life of over 25 years Galvanized Mounting Structure for durability Does not require investment in grid infrastructure development

How does Solar PV system operate?

The solar panels that are part of Surya Gruha SPV Kit system convert sunlight into electricity. A typical solar panel produces DC current when sunlight is incident on it. The charge controller conditions the incoming current and directs it to charge the battery or the load through the inverter (DC to AC converter), as required. The charged battery provides electricity when sunlight is not available.
