Expert Advice
“We recommend you to go for off-grid solar system, because it will run your load on first priority and balance power will be fed to the battery bank. Also, 2 batteries of 150Ah capacity are sufficient to store extra surplus power. You don’t need an on-grid solar system for 2kW capacity.
In such a way, you don’t have to invest on net-metering. At same cost you will have a luxury of independent off-grid system with battery bank.

All types of solar systems are best at their own way. But when it comes to install a solar system than you should keep in mind some points that are mentioned below:
- Export to grid + Saving = On grid solar system
- Backup + Saving = Off grid solar system
- Export to grid + Backup + Saving = Hybrid solar system
No, each solar system has its own voltage requirements. In 2kW solar system, you will have to fix minimum 2 batteries. If required, you can choose less Ah batteries, but quantity should be 2.
No, if you are buying a complete solar system than all its accessories will come with it. There is no need to buy them separately. But if you are buying solar system piece by piece from one shop to another then you need to buy it yourself.
You can clean the panels by using solar panel cleaning kit. By cleaning solar panel you can maintain the efficiency level of solar system.
