The system plugs into either a standard power outlet or the main electrical panel and automatically captures surplus solar energy – whether generated by rooftop panels or a portable plug‑and‑play kit. Up to four modules, each with a capacity of 2,200 Wh and 500 W of output, can be combined, and the system comes with a 7,500-cycle warranty for long-term reliability.

India’s rooftop solar potential is vast. Policy momentum, domestic manufacturing expansion, and innovative retail models are laying the groundwork for mass adoption. The focus now must be on making solar a simple, dependable household choice — where purchasing panels is as straightforward as buying a home appliance.

Polycab has launched its UT Series 350kW three-phase string inverter for utility-scale solar projects in Tamil Nadu. Offering 15/12 MPPTs, this series comes with a maximum 15A/20A DC input current per string, thus supporting bifacial 182mm/210mm modules.

Jaipur-based solar module manufacturer Insolation Energy Ltd has announced that its subsidiary, Insolation Green Energy, has incorporated four new wholly owned subsidiaries for the purpose of setting up solar power plants.

The inverter is designed for three-phase grid configurations without using external transformers. It contains gallium nitride technology, a first for Enphase’s microinverters.

When you combine lower solar hardware costs with rising grid tariffs, payback periods tighten—especially for homes that consume 200–400 units a month and can run major daytime loads (fridge, fans, air-cooling, work-from-home equipment) on solar power.

Statkraft has signed an agreement to sell approximately 1.5 GWp of its renewable energy portfolio in Rajasthan, comprising the recently commissioned 445 MWp Khidrat solar plant and around 1,000 MWp of solar and wind projects at various stages of development.

Diversified energy firm Avaada Group has inaugurated 11 solar power plants in Maharashtra’s Yavatmal district under the Mukhyamantri Saur Krushi Vahini Yojana (MSKVY) 2.0—a scheme aimed at providing farmers with reliable daytime power for irrigation while advancing the state’s clean energy transition.

This article discusses the often-overlooked technical considerations involved in designing and laying out a high-performance solar system.

The US Federal Highway Administration (FHA) has warned that cellular radios have been found in unspecified foreign-made inverters and batteries used in PV highway infrastructure, according to Reuters. pv magazine speaks with cybersecurity expert Uri Sadot about the risks.
