Why Go Solar

Savings with Off-grid System

The following calculations make clear, installing an off-grid solar system is a financially smart move for homeowners and businesses alike. Let’s walk you through typical performance metrics and savings for off-grid solar panels for your home:

01
Every unit of solar energy you produce replaces costly grid or diesel electricity, saving up to ₹8–₹30 per kWh.
02
Once installed, you’re completely independent from grid charges, saving ₹15,000–₹60,000 annually depending on system size.
03
Replace diesel generators with clean solar energy and cut fuel expenses by 70–80%.
04
Solar panels keep generating for decades, giving you free power for 15+ years, long-term energy savings without rising tariffs.
05
Most off-grid systems recover their cost in 5–7 years, and every year after that is pure savings, giving you faster ROI.
06
Start small and expand easily, each added kW increases your annual savings by ₹12,000–₹15,000.

What is an Off-Grid Solar Panel System?

An off-grid solar panel system (also called a “stand-alone solar system”) is a solar power system that is completely independent of the utility grid. Unlike on-grid system which exports excess energy and draws from the grid when needed, an off-grid system must generate, store and supply all the electricity locally. It includes solar PV panels, battery bank, charge controller, inverter and other balance-of-system components, all sized to cover your load and provide backup for days without sun.

This makes off-grid solar ideal for homes, farms, remote cabins, telecom towers, and enterprises in areas with unreliable grid supply. The trade-off: higher initial cost, greater complexity (battery lifecycle) but full autonomy and resilience.

Components Used in Off-grid System

Here are the main components of a standard off-grid solar panel system:

• Solar PV Panels
• Battery Bank / Energy Storage System
• Inverter (Off-Grid Inverter / Multi-Mode Inverter)
• Charge Controller / Battery Charge Regulator
• Mounting Structure
• Balance of System (BoS) Components
• Backup Generator (Optional)
• Monitoring & Control System

Advantages & Disadvantages of Off-grid System

Advantages:
• Full energy independence: you are not dependent on the grid or utility power.
• Reliable power supply even in remote/blackout-prone areas.
• Clean, renewable energy tailored to your load and location.
• Can avoid expensive diesel backup and fuel costs.

Disadvantages:
• Higher upfront cost compared to comparable on-grid installations (due to battery cost)
• Batteries need replacement (every 5-10 years in some cases) and have lifecycle/maintenance requirements.
• Complexity: design must be accurate to ensure autonomy days; panel/battery sizing matters.
• No net-metering benefits.

On-grid vs Off-grid System, Which is better?

On-Grid System connects to the grid, exports surplus; typically the lowest cost per kW. Best for homes and offices with reliable grid supply and day-life load.

Off-Grid System does not tie to the grid; includes batteries; higher cost but gives independence from utility. Additional battery replacement costs every 5–10 years; shorter lifespan of some components; ROI may be longer.

Which is better?
Off-Grid becomes preferable when grid supply is unreliable, blackout-prone, or when you need full independence (remote sites, rural homes).

Frequently Asked Questions

PureUrja for Off-grid Solar Panel System

What does an off-grid solar system cost for a typical 3 kW setup?

According to recent Indian market estimates, a 3 kW off-grid solar system costs ~ ₹2,40,000 onwards.

How many units will a 3 kW off-grid system generate annually?

Roughly ~4,500–5,500 units per year depending on location, panel orientation and efficiency (estimated ~12-15 units/day).

Do I need batteries for an off-grid system?

Yes, batteries form a core component of an off-grid system, storing surplus solar energy for night or cloudy periods.

Are there subsidies for off-grid solar systems in India?

No, typically government subsidies apply only to on-grid rooftop solar under schemes like PM Surya Ghar or others.

How many days of backup can an off-grid system provide?

It depends on your battery bank sizing (kWh), your average daily load and whether you design for “autonomy days” (e.g., 1-3 days without sun).

What maintenance is required for battery banks?

Battery maintenance includes periodic checks of charge/discharge cycles, electrolyte levels (for lead-acid), health status (for lithium), temperature control and replacement after rated life.

Can I later convert an off-grid system to on-grid or hybrid?

Yes, PureUrja offers modular designs that allow future upgrade to hybrid (grid + battery) or grid-tie if your location or budget changes.

What kind of roof or space is needed for off-grid solar panels?

Similar to grid-tied systems, you need a shade-free rooftop or ground area, adequate tilt and structural strength to mount the array. In off-grid, since you supply full load, array size may be higher.

Will off-grid solar reduce my diesel generator usage?

Absolutely, one of the primary advantages is replacing or significantly reducing reliance on diesel generators for backup power.
