Solar Panel in Agra

As per Indian solar market demand, there are two popular technologies of solar panels available in India: Topcon & Bifacial Solar Panel. Below is the detailed information:

1. SHARK 575W, Topcon Solar Panel: Topcon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) technology is the trending solar cell technology that aims at increasing solar panel efficiency. The solar industry is witnessing rapid advancements in technology aimed towards achieving higher efficiency and better performance of solar components. The Topcon technology also targets achieving higher efficiency in solar cells. It is touted to become the next big thing in the solar industry and its market share is expected to grow rapidly in the future.
2. SHARK 450W, Bifacial Solar Panel: The world's latest technology solar panel is the Bifacial solar panel. It can generate electricity up to 25% extra compared to other traditional solar panels. Bifacial solar panels function in duo mode, as the direct sunlight is received by the front panel of the solar panel, and the back side of the solar panel also receives the reflected light from the floor, other solar panels or from a coated shining surface. The back side of the Bifacial solar panel can generate electricity up to 25% more when it is combined with the usual power generation from the front side.

Types & Components of a Solar Panel System

We have categorized the solar panel systems into 5 types that are based on consumer needs:

1. On-Grid Solar System: It is also known as the “grid-connected solar system” which works with national electricity. This solar system works during the daytime in sunny hours and is capable of running all appliances. The main components of a grid-connected solar system are a solar panel (solar PV module), grid-tie solar inverter (on-grid solar inverter), balancing of the system, and net meter. This solar system helps to save up to 80% on electricity bills of homes and businesses.  

2. Off-Grid Solar System: It is also known as the “standalone solar system” which works with or without national electricity anywhere. This solar system can run 80-90% loads of home and business on solar inverter capacity. The main components of a standalone solar system are a solar panel (solar PV module), an off-grid solar inverter, a solar battery (lead acid or lithium battery) and balancing of the system. This solar system helps to generate electricity and run AC appliances during power cuts as well as save electricity bills.

3. Hybrid Solar System: It is a combination of on-grid & off-grid solar systems that work in any condition. This system has the capability to run 80-90% loads on solar inverter capacity as well as export extra electricity to the national grid. The main components of a hybrid solar system are a solar panel (solar PV module), hybrid solar inverter, solar battery (lead acid or lithium battery), balancing of the system, and net meter. This solar system helps to generate electricity during the daytime and gives power backup in nighttime as well as in emergency situations without being dependent on national electricity.

4. Direct Solar System: It is a VFD solar system that works during sunny hours in the daytime only and this is capable of running a motor only. The main components of a grid-connected solar system are the solar panel (solar PV module), VFD, and balancing of the system. This solar system helps to run the AC or DC motor and save diesel costs. 

5. Upgrade Solar System:  It is a budget-friendly solar system that converts existing inverter batteries into solar and charges batteries and runs home appliances during the daytime. The main components of a grid-connected solar system are a solar panel (solar PV module), solar charge controller, and balancing of the system. This solar system helps to charge the inverter battery during a power cut situation.

Difference among On Grid / Off Grid / Hybrid / Direct
