Solar PV & Systems

Modules, inverters, charge controllers, and complete grid-tied or off-grid systems, inspected before they ship.

  • Monocrystalline PV modules, including bifacial
  • Grid-connected PV systems
  • Stand-alone (off-grid) PV systems
  • Solar charge controllers and inverters
  • Solar lighting (road, garden, and lantern lights)

This is our founding line of business: we’ve supplied solar modules and systems since 2009.

What we supply

Solar street light with its panel mounted on the pole, among trees
Solar street lights need no cable to the grid: the panel, battery, and LED lamp work together on a single pole.

Which system fits your site

Most of what we supply ends up in one of three setups. Which one fits depends on whether you have a grid connection, and how far you can trust it.

Off-grid systemSolar panels feed a charge controller, which charges a battery bank. The battery powers DC appliances directly and feeds an inverter/charger that supplies AC appliances. An optional backup generator connects to the inverter/charger.Solar panelsMake DC powerCharge controllerCharges the batteryBackup generatorOptionalBattery bankStores daytime powerInverter/chargerDC to household ACDC appliancesLights, fans, fridgesAC appliancesTV, tools, pumpsDC powerAC powerOptional
Off-grid system. For sites with no grid at all. The battery stores daytime solar for the night, and an optional generator covers long cloudy spells.
Hybrid systemSolar panels and a grid or generator connection both feed a hybrid inverter. The hybrid inverter charges and draws from a battery bank, and supplies AC appliances.Solar panelsMain daytime sourceGrid or generatorBackup supplyHybrid inverterSolar charger, battery charger, and inverter in oneBattery bankStores powerAC appliancesRun through outagesDC powerAC power
Hybrid system. Solar first, battery second, grid or generator as backup. The best fit where the grid is unreliable, because appliances keep running through outages.
Grid-tied systemSolar panels feed a grid-tie inverter, which supplies the distribution board. The distribution board powers AC appliances and exchanges power with the utility grid through a two-way meter.Solar panelsMake DC powerUtility gridPublic networkGrid-tie inverterSyncs with the gridTwo-way meterCounts both directionsDistribution boardFeeds every circuit in the buildingAC appliancesHome or businessDC powerAC power
Grid-tied system. Cuts the power bill where the grid is reliable. With no battery, the inverter shuts down when the grid fails, so it gives no backup during outages.

What we check before shipment

Power output and tolerance against the datasheet, EL images to catch micro-cracks you can’t see with the eye, frame and glass condition, salt-mist corrosion resistance for coastal sites, and packaging that survives the route to your port. We report findings before goods leave the factory, not after they arrive.
