Off-Grid Solar Battery Bank

Best For:

Areas with frequent power cuts or no grid access at all.

What is an Off-grid Solar System?

An off-grid solar system is completely disconnected from the traditional utility power grid. It relies entirely on solar panels to generate electricity and a dedicated Battery Bank to store it for use at night or during cloudy days.

Because it is a standalone system, it provides absolute energy independence. You will never experience a power blackout again, making it the ultimate solution for rural areas, farmhouses, or regions plagued by load shedding.

No Subsidy Available

Unlike On-Grid systems, Off-Grid systems are not eligible for the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana or state subsidies, as they do not export power back to the government grid.

What does an Off-Grid System Consist of?

Unlike simple grid-tied systems, off-grid systems require robust storage solutions to ensure 24/7 autonomy.

Solar Panels

Generates DC electricity from sunlight. Off-grid arrays often need to be oversized slightly to ensure batteries are fully charged even during winter months.

Crucial

Battery Bank

Stores the solar energy generated during the day. We offer both deep-cycle Tubular Lead-Acid batteries (cost-effective) and advanced Lithium-ion (LifePO4) batteries (longer lifespan).

Off-Grid Inverter

Equipped with a built-in MPPT charge controller, it regulates the voltage going to the batteries to prevent overcharging, and converts DC battery power to AC for your home.

Protection Devices

DCDB and ACDB boxes featuring robust MCBs and Surge Protection Devices to protect the highly sensitive inverter and expensive battery bank from lightning strikes.

How Does it Work?

The off-grid ecosystem prioritizes charging your batteries to ensure you never run out of power at night.

1. Power Generation

Sunlight hits the solar panels, generating Direct Current (DC) electricity.

2. Battery Charging (Daytime)

The MPPT Charge Controller safely routes the DC electricity directly into your battery bank to store energy for later use.

3. Conversion to AC

The Off-Grid Inverter draws DC power from the batteries (or directly from the panels) and converts it into usable AC electricity.

4. Powering Your Home (Night)

At night, your home seamlessly runs off the energy stored in the batteries, completely independent of the power grid.

Off-Grid System Price in India (2026)

Pricing for off-grid systems varies significantly based on the size of the battery bank (autonomy hours) and whether you choose standard Tubular batteries or advanced Lithium-ion.

System CapacityStandard Price (Tubular Battery)Premium Price (Lithium Battery)Supported Appliances
1 kW₹ 90,000₹ 1,20,000Lights, fans, TV, and laptops
2 kW₹ 1,50,000₹ 2,20,000Above, plus a 0.5 HP pump or one inverter AC (1 ton)
3 kW₹ 2,25,000₹ 3,00,000Above, plus a 1 HP pump and refrigerator
5 kW₹ 3,50,000₹ 4,50,000Multiple ACs, larger appliances, and selected home loads
* Estimated prices inclusive of installation. Prices vary based on exact load profile and backup hours required. No government subsidy is applicable on the above prices.
