*Please Note: The above-mentioned off-grid solar energy system prices are indicative and exclusively for lithium-ion batteries (LFP). The final prices may vary from the stated range depending on the type of solar batteries, panels, brand, and inverter type you choose. SolarSquare installs rooftop solar systems for housing societies, homes, commercial buildings, and industrial facilities, using high-efficiency solar panels. We sell off-grid and hybrid solar systems in a select few cities.
Ready to explore the workings of an off-grid solar system, all the price details, and whether you need to invest in off-grid solar products as an Indian homeowner, especially because the Indian government offers a subsidy for the installation of an on-grid rooftop solar system? Dive in for all the details!
An off-grid solar system is a completely independent setup that operates without any connection to the public electricity grid. In simple terms, it generates power from sunlight and stores it in batteries for later use—ensuring reliable electricity anytime, day or night.
At Amaara Solar, we design smart off-grid systems that deliver uninterrupted power, even in the most challenging conditions.
An off-grid solar setup includes multiple components working together seamlessly:
Off-grid solar is ideal when grid electricity is unavailable or unreliable.
Best suited for:
If you already have a stable grid connection, an on-grid system may be more cost-effective.
As the sun rises, it takes a fraction of a second for sunlight to travel from the sun to your solar panels, kicking off the six-step process below.
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
The main difference between off-grid and on-grid solar systems is grid connection: an on-grid system stays connected to the public electricity grid and can draw from or feed into it, while an off-grid system operates entirely independently, storing all its own power in batteries.
Feature | On-Grid Solar System | Off-Grid Solar System |
Connected to the grid? | Yes | No |
Do you need a battery bank to work? | No | Yes |
Are you eligible for PM Surya Ghar Yojana or other subsidy schemes? | Yes | Generally no |
How does the system work? | Solar power runs your home during the day; excess is exported to the grid; you draw from the grid at night or when generation is low | The battery generated during the day is stored and used at night; when the battery depletes, power is unavailable until the panels recharge it |
When are they recommended? | Ideal for homes and businesses with reliable grid connectivity, looking to reduce electricity bills | Ideal for remote or rural properties with unreliable or no grid access |
Installing an off-grid solar system in India is one true way to be power-independent, whether it’s for a remote home, a farmhouse, or a property without reliable grid access. Off-grid solar systems cost more than on-grid systems upfront, mainly because of the battery bank, but for the right property, that investment buys genuine independence from grid outages and tariff hikes.
If you’re not sure whether off-grid, on-grid, or a hybrid solar system is the right fit for your property in Hyderabad, book a free consultation call with AMAARA and we’ll walk through your site’s specific power needs before recommending anything.
An off-grid solar system, also known as a standalone solar system, is recommended in remote and rural areas where grid supply is either absent or extremely unreliable (electricity is available for only 2-3 hours a day).
Since off-grid solar power systems have no grid connection, they must be designed for complete autonomy. Autonomy is the number of days your solar system can run your home on battery power alone when the sun is not producing enough energy.
On a rainy or cloudy day, solar output drops to about 12 to 15% of what you would get on a sunny day, which is too little to run a home. A well-designed off-grid solar power system handles this by generating extra energy on the previous sunny day and storing it in the battery, so your home keeps running on that stored power when the weather turns.
As it’s designed for autonomy, the off-grid solar system price in India is higher than the on-grid solar system price. However, off-grid solar PV systems become necessary in areas where the grid supply is either unavailable or inconsistent. In both cases, grid power cannot ensure an uninterrupted power supply at all times, making battery backup essential.
