Solar Inverter Prices and Types in India

Ever thought of buying a solar inverter? If yes, have you compared the online solar inverter prices in India? If you are unsure of your decision and wondering if investing in a solar inverter is the right thing to do or not this blog is for you.

We have been asked several times: What is the difference between a solar inverter and an ordinary inverter? Through this article, we will try to answer this question. A twenty-four-hour power supply is rare in India. Very few areas in metropolitan cities can boast of having a continuous supply of electricity. This has resulted in the rise of the inverters/ UPS industry in India.

People have been familiar with power inverters or household UPS for a long time now. Due to frequent power cuts, India’s household inverter or UPS industry has been in high demand. But with time people have evolved to be more conscious environmentally. In recent times people try to make conscious decisions while buying a product to save both their money and the environment by doing their bit of research.

Inverters have evolved as the technology advanced with time. Inverters have become more intelligent and cost-saving.

Know the difference between solar inverter and regular power inverters before you buy. 

Although there are many branded models of inverters available, people usually go for cheap/unbranded models that can significantly increase electricity bills. The efficiency factor of inverters is not even considered a factor when buying an inverter. Here’s where you might need to re-think!

First, let’s understand what an inverter is? A power inverter is a device that inverts by using transformers, switches, and control circuits to convert direct current (or direct current) into alternating current (or alternating current). This is the basic function of any inverter: be it a solar inverter or a conventional inverter.

A home UPS or home inverter takes DC power from the battery and converts it to AC power used by electrical appliances. If the solar inverters is an “off-grid” solar power system, it will do the same. In the case of “connected to the grid”, the DC power supply comes from solar panel, and the AC power supply is supplied to the grid.

How Does a Home Inverter Work?

A typical home inverter system has an inverter and battery system connected to the home power connection. When the electricity comes from the grid, the UPS/inverter system uses the electricity from the grid to charge the battery. When the power is turned off, the inverter takes DC power from the battery and converts it to AC power used by household appliances. There is a circuit breaker in the system to detect whether the grid is not supplying power and switch the UPS to battery mode.

How Does a Solar Inverter Work?

The solar energy that we get in the form of sunlight is converted into electricity with the help of photovoltaic solar panels and solar inverters/ PCUs. The current generated by these panels is DC which is run through the inverter to convert it into AC, this current can be used to run electrical appliances at home.

Types of Solar Inverter

Depending on your need you can choose the best solar inverters for you. There are three types of solar inverters.

On-grid solar inverter – Saves the solar electricity from getting wasted, On-grid inverters run the electrical appliances from the solar electricity generated and the extra electricity generated can be sent and sold to the national grid.

Off-grid solar inverter – This makes you completely independent, this has a battery backup as well, the solar electricity generated during the daytime is used to run the electrical load and the battery is charged for backup during the night hours.

Hybrid solar inverter – Smart inverters that charge the batteries from sun’s energy during the daytime and from the national grid during the night hours.

UTL SOLAR is a company that sells the best solar inverters with the patent applied rMPPT solar technology that saves 30% extra solar energy within the same investment.

How UTL Hybrid Solar Inverters Generate 30% More Electricity?

It is evident that there are lots of solar inverters available in the market; however, do you know there are some inverters among them that can generate extra electricity. Yes, you read it right extra electricity! This blog will help you understand how UTL’s hybrid solar inverters produce around 30% extra power as compared to other options available in the market. Let us check out how:

To understand this properly, we have to understand the concept of rMPPT. UTL has come up with a technology that is more advanced than MPPT technology. rMPPT stands for ‘Rapid Maximum Power Point Technology.’ The voltage of the solar panel keeps on fluctuating according to the light intensity of the sun. The voltage keeps on decreasing or increasing from morning to evening. At all times, according to the voltage of the solar panel, which output will get the most power, it needs to be constantly monitored and changed accordingly. This is what rMPPT technology does well.

If the tracking is done properly throughout the day, then it can lead to generation of 30% more solar energy. UTL Solar has also applied for a patent for this technology.

Features of UTL Hybrid Inverters

Hybrid inverters by UTL can take input from solar panels, battery, or grid depending on the requirement and need of the source. The hybrid inverters by UTL can be easily operated in one of the 3 suitable modes. This makes them one of the best home solar solution in India. It has different operating modes as well that are explained below:

PCU MODE for Cities

If there is more electricity in the cities, then it will run your load with generated solar power and battery. This way cuts your electricity bill.

Hybrid MODE for Villages

This mode will operate the load by generating solar power and grid electricity during the day and keep the battery charged for night backup.

Smart MODE for Towns

In most of the towns generating electricity and saving bills are dual tasks; it will operate the loads with a synchronised combination of both generated solar power and grid electricity. 


UTL has three models in its hybrid inverter segment:

Gamma+ Solar Inverter

Gamma+ rMPPT solar inverter also known as Gamma+ Home PCU is the best selling MPPT solar inverter in India in the 1000VA range. This solar inverter is available in 12 volt and 24 volt and supports up to 1000 watt solar panels. You have options to use both types of 12 volt and 24-volt solar panels. This inverter comes with two solar battery options, single battery and double battery.

Shamsi Solar Inverter

Shamsi solar inverter is extensively used in the home, offices, commercial, and industrial sectors. There are various models in the Shamsi solar inverter (675VA/12V to 1475VA/24V) depending on the voltage requirement.

Heliac Solar Inverter

UTL Heliac solar inverter is one of the best inverters for homes, which utilizes both solar energy and grid power to charge the batteries. The primary source is considered to be solar energy, which will run the load and charge the battery. The secondary source is the power coming from the grid.  Heliac solar inverters are available from 850VA to 3500VA.

rMPPT Technology: A Full Review!

The world of solar energy is changing rapidly. People are extensively working towards increasing the efficiency of photovoltaic cells and solar panels. In this blog, you’ll get to know about one of the technologies that are developed by UTL Solar. Before learning about we should know about certain concepts, Let’s check it out:

Solar Charge Controller

A solar charge controller, also known as a solar regulator, is essentially a solar battery charger that is connected between the solar panels and the battery. The main purpose of a solar charge controller is to regulate the battery charging process and ensure the battery is charged correctly and is not over-charged. 

Constant technological development is happening in solar charge controllers. Modern solar charge controllers have advanced features to make sure that the battery system is charged precisely and efficiently, including features such as DC load output used for lighting.

PWM vs MPPT Solar Charge Controller

A simple PWM, or ‘pulse width modulation’ solar charge controllers have a direct connection from the solar array to the battery and utilize a basic ‘rapid switch’ to modulate or control the process of battery charging. The switch or transistor remains open until the battery reaches the absorption charge voltage.

Then the switch begins to open and close rapidly (hundreds of time per second) to modulate the current and maintain a constant battery voltage. This works fine; however, the problem is the solar panel voltage is pulled down to match the battery voltage. This in turn pulls the panel voltage away from its optimum operating voltage (Vmp) and decreases the panel power output and operating efficiency.

Whereas, MPPT or ‘maximum power point trackers’ are far more advanced as compared to PWM controllers and enable the solar panel to work at its maximum power point or the optimum voltage for maximum power output. With the help of this clever technology, MPPT solar charge controllers can be up to 30% more efficient, depending on the battery voltage and operating voltage (Vmp) of the solar panel.

A step further than MPPT Technology!

UTL has come up with a technology that is more advanced than MPPT technology. rMPPT stands for ‘Rapid Maximum Power Point Technology.’ The voltage of the solar panel keeps on fluctuating according to the light intensity of the sun. The voltage keeps on decreasing or increasing from morning to evening.

At all times, according to the voltage of the solar panel, which output will get the most power, it needs to be constantly monitored and changed accordingly. This is what rMPPT technology does well. If this tracking is done properly from morning to evening, then up to 30% more solar energy gets generated. UTL Solar has also applied for a patent for this technology.

UTL Solar has integrated this latest technology into its wide range of solar home inverters. Such as Gamma+ inverter, which is a hybrid inverter because it can take input from Solar Panel, Battery, or Grid depending on the requirement and need of the source. This Hybrid Inverter by UTL can be easily operated in one of the 3 Suitable Modes. This makes UTL Solar Gamma+ one of the best home solar solutions in India.

Why is SHAMSI the Best Solar Inverter for You?

There are a lot of options available in the market when it comes to buying a solar inverter. However, making the right choice sometimes becomes difficult. Well, this blog will help you make that decision. When it comes to choosing the best solar inverters, there is one name that pops up. The name is “SHAMSI” solar inverter by UTL Solar.

What is a Solar Inverter?

A solar inverters or Photovoltaic (PV) inverter, is a type of electrical converter that converts the variable direct current (DC) output of a photovoltaic (PV) solar panel into a utility frequency alternating current (AC) that can be fed into a commercial electrical grid or utilized by a local, off-grid electrical network such as homes, offices, or commercial places. 

It can be considered as a critical balance of system (BOS)–component in a photovoltaic system, enabling the utilization of ordinary AC-powered equipment. Solar power inverters have special functions adapted for utilisation with photovoltaic arrays, including maximum power point tracking and anti-islanding protection.

Reasons for Choosing SHAMSI Solar Inverter

Installing an Inverter without solar panels has a lot of demerits. This is because electricity generated from a normal power inverter system is 50% more costly. Let us explain how:

Ordinary power inverter systems consume around 20% electricity in storing the power in the battery, during its initial cycle. Then for every next charge cycle, around 10% of electricity gets wasted. Also, during a power cut, an ordinary power inverter system consumes 10% of power for every discharge cycle and utilizes 15% of power for battery utilization. Compared to an ordinary home inverter, the battery of UTL’s Solar Inverter System has an extended life of around 9-24 Months. 

Normal power inverters do not provide extra backup. However, SHAMSI offers additional backup. Moreover, UTL Solar has amazing offers through which you can buy the SHAMSI solar inverters at the price of a normal inverter. Considering the ongoing trend it is the right time to buy a solar inverters system as electricity has become 2 times more costly in the past 10 years. However, solar panels have become 5 times cheaper and the prices are expected to further go down. 

The flexibility of SHAMSI Inverter

In case you do not have the required space to install solar panels, you can easily operate this inverter without solar panels, similar to a normal inverter system. It is capable of working even without solar panels and you can get the solar panel installed any time according to your requirements. SHAMSI solar inverters is integrated with a solar charger, which increases the solar panel efficiency and battery life. It has different operating modes as well that are explained below:

PCU MODE for Cities

If there is more electricity in the cities, then it will run your load with generated solar power and battery. This way cuts your electricity bill.

Hybrid MODE for Villages

This mode will operate the load by generating solar power and grid electricity during the day and keep the battery charged for night backup.

Smart MODE for Towns

In most of the towns generating electricity and saving bills are dual tasks; it will operate the loads with a synchronised combination of both generated solar power and grid electricity. 

So, as explained, if you are planning to buy a solar inverter, SHAMSI solar inverters is a great choice. UTL Solar has a full range of SHAMSI solar inverters up to 675VA, 875VA, 1075VA, and 1475VA as per your requirement.

How to Choose the Right Time to Install a Solar System?

As a company that deals in solar solutions and products, UTL Solar always comes across a prevalent question from readers and potential buyers. Yes, you guessed it right! “What is the right time/season to install a solar systems on one’s premises? Most of the time it is observed that buyers are doubtful about installing a solar system during winters or in the rainy season. 

The one thing that everyone should remember is that sunlight on our planet is not a seasonal phenomenon. We are also lucky to be living in the part of the world which receives sunlight throughout the year. So, this answers the question! The most appropriate time to install a solar system is when the sun is shining bright in the sky!However, there are a few misconceptions that flutter around regarding the installation of the solar systems. This blog will help you get over those misconceptions and try to answer all those questions which have been in a buyer’s mind before thinking of installing a solar system in their home, office, etc.

Non-Seasonal Product

As explained above, one of the most popular questions is whether solar is a seasonal product? Now, the question arises, what is a seasonal product? Seasonal products are those products that you only need for a particular season such as cooler, heater, or geyser. However, this is not the case with a solar systems. Solar panels are functional for 365 days of 25 years, which you have the warranty for. Sometimes it is functional beyond the warranty period too. 

The sun shines each day and you need to switch on your light or fan every day at least. This will be taken care of by the solar systems. So, a solar panel is a non-seasonal product. It is perfectly capable of working throughout the year.

Weather Conditions

The second misbelief that people have is regarding the effects of weather conditions on the functioning of the solar system. It is a fact that the climate of a certain place will have a direct impact on the working of your solar systems. However, as we have discussed earlier, it is not like India does not receive sunlight at all. As long as there are sun’s rays falling on the solar panels, your solar systems will function. Nowadays, solar panels can work efficiently even in low-light conditions. According to UTL Solar’s experts, solar panels generate 10% to 25% power generation in rainy seasons.

Consumption vs Production

Some of the critics argue that the output of a solar system is less in winters as the sun is not very strong at that time. Yes, this is true, there will be some difference. However, other factors should be taken into account such as your consumption pattern. During winters the consumption rate is also low. When your consumption of power is high such as in summers, the production of power from solar panels is also high. It is also seen that air conditioners utilize a large amount of power. It is recommended that customers should install DC appliances as they consume low power to run. 

So, before making up your mind you should calculate your consumption and then decide on choosing the right solar system.

Real Use Case Scenario

Installing a solar system in small towns is completely lucrative. Since villages and small towns face more power cuts, they need to become independent of the grid. Though it is claimed that electricity has reached the remotest parts of the country, the actual scenario is a bit different and regular power cuts are observed during natural adversities such as heavy rains or floods, unlike in big cities. 

It was seen during the recent floods in parts of the country like West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, Assam, Rajasthan, and more were still struggling for power. If consumers had a solar system in place they would have power irrespective of the main power supply.

Use of Latest Technology Product

Sometimes consumers are unable to install a solar system at the right time as they do not get the required and appropriate technical advice. Lack of technically sound sales consultants and lack of proper technical product details sometimes dissuade buyers from investing. 

Consumers do not get much-required knowledge and are unable to buy the latest technology product. They prefer to buy goods based on low prices, and the majority of the sellers are ready to sell them low-quality products because they do not want to lose the customer. If a customer has the proper knowledge about technically advanced products, they will surely buy them even for a little higher price tag. Below mentioned are some of the latest technology solar products:

  • Panels – Monocrystalline
  • Wire – DC cable
  • Inverter – rMPPT (UTL Solar’s Technology),
  • Panel Stand – Wall Mounted, etc.
Why You Need a New Inverters

5 Reasons, Why You Need a New Inverter

by with No Comment Solar Inverter

In today’s world inverters have become more of a necessity than a luxury. Almost every household work requires an electrical appliance and the usage of electricity. Therefore, inverter are a must-have commodity in every household. There are more factors that back up this statement such as increased load shedding and power outages can disrupt your work schedule and personal comfort, especially during summers.

Getting an efficient and effective power backup system is one of the easy ways to get rid of these problems. People who are used to air conditioners can face a lot of trouble during summers. And sitting in a room with no fan? Can become torture. UTL Solar advises getting an efficient inverters for power backup if your residential area experiences regular power cuts. This will help in making sure you have proper backup energy for emergency needs. Remember, if you plan to upgrade your inverter, purchase one that supports the load requirements of your house for efficient use of the power backup that an inverters provide. Before buying a new inverter, It is important to make sure that your current inverter works efficiently. Inverters and batteries are prone to lack in performance due to extended use over the years and show a hampered functioning.

Check out these Here are five reasons you should upgrade your inverter:

1. Inverter is not Charging the Battery Completely

One of the most common problems that people face with their inverters is the inverter battery stops charging. Generally, in these cases, the problem is of a dead battery or there is a fault with the grade separators. You can either buy a new battery or get it replaced if it is in the warranty period. However, this problem can arise due to other inverters related issues. These problems include burnt rectifiers, rusted terminals, fused active material, or even an electrical fault in the main board. Depending on the issue and after talking to a technician, you can decide to get a new battery or upgrade your inverter.

2. Batteries Need Maintenance

If your inverters is facing an electrical board failure or repetitive beeping of the alarm, or the monitor displaying incorrect codes, you should contact a professional technician. These issues can occur due to problems with battery wires and cables, or it might be that your inverters keeps switching from the mainline grid to the battery. Based on the maintenance observations, you can choose to upgrade your inverter to avoid spending unnecessary money on constant maintenance. In case you want to buy a new battery, you should go with tubular batteries or gel batteries to enjoy consistent backup power and longer battery life. 

3. Increment in Load Needs

With the passage of time, it is inevitable to buy new appliances, devices, and other electronics. This will increase electrical load requirements, which your present inverter and battery might not be able to support. Inverters and batteries are engineered with a certain capacity, which should not be exceeded as it can burn out the inverter system or result in a power failure. This can also lead to the degradation of the life of the appliances and electronics used. Understanding your load requirements is critically essential to find the most effective power backup solutions. Here, you must remember these two things – Power Requirement and Volt Ampere (VA) Rating.

4. Customer Support Is Not Satisfactory

We live in a world of quick deliveries and 24/7 customer service. Amidst all this, if you don’t get a technician on time to repair or maintain your inverters system, it can be an unpleasant experience. If your present power solutions brand does not provide you with the required customer care support, you should upgrade your inverter from other reputed brands that provide at-home maintenance checks, and quick solutions to your problem. Waiting for a technician to visit and fix the problem is something that nobody wants. UTL Solar has a dedicated and motivated team for customer care.

5. Humming Noise During Back-Up Mode

As explained above inverters have become a necessity in homes and offices due to efficient power backup capabilities. The home inverter should match your power requirements and ensure smoother electrical operation. It should also safeguard your appliances from any fuse or short-circuit. While the inverters is in backup mode, if you hear a continuous humming noise, it can be due to waveform deterrence. To explain things easily, if you have an old inverter that is based on technology such as square wave, there is a high chance that the humming noise you hear coming out of your appliances is due to the same reason. 

As a solution, you can upgrade your inverters to a sine wave inverter with higher ratings to experience the best power backup. Generally, we neglect our inverters system that is kept in the corner, but it always does its job by providing utility to make our lives a lot more comfortable and convenient. 

This is why you should upgrade your inverters to get all about the problems of a power failure and bring an enormous difference in your everyday life.
