They are a” Green Power Company” Founded in late 2004.

 

Mission


Provide compelling and useful green energy products for people around the world.


Overview


They learn from their past experience and customers. When they initiate production they listen to what their customers have to say and they then set out to design products based on their customer's wants and need's--because they can't make their products better until they know what their customers want to do with it. They get motivated when they create products that make the tasks easier, efficient, and more eco-friendly.

 

Their flagship product range for the Off-Grid market was released in late '05 and became an instant hit with customers worldwide. Within months of release our product volumes surged to new heights. Since the release they've been fortunate to receive contracts for OEM manufacturing from prestigious global companies like Solar World AG. Their association makes us a privileged entity in the global domain.

 

To the present date their products is used by hundreds of installers and end-users. From those starting out in the Photovoltaic field they welcome you to join their family of customers to make their planet earth a cleaner place to live.

 

About Solar

 

Modern day devices that convert sunlight into energy are called photovoltaic cells or “PVs” for short. More commonly, they're known as solar cells. Solar photovoltaic cells are small, square shaped panel semiconductors manufactured in thin film layers from silicon and other conductive materials. When sunlight strikes the PV cell, chemical reactions release electrons, generating electric current. The small current from individual PV cells, which are installed in modules, power individual homes and businesses, or can be plugged into the bulk electricity grid.

 

Unlike conventional sources of electricity, which are a major cause of problems like smog, acid rain and global warming, a solar system produces no air or water pollution. Solar has zero emissions, operates silently, requires little maintenance and is generated where it is needed - in the home, at a factory or in an office building. Solar energy's benefits are real and immediate - creating savings for years to come while reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and helping the environment. Because they do not produce polluting air emissions or water effluents, solar PV systems are prime candidates for supplying electricity at locations where such environmental impacts are unacceptable; for example, in parks and places where preserving high levels of environmental quality is important. Due to strong demand world-wide and technological innovations, solar PV panels have become increasingly affordable. Solar PV systems are upgradeable and expandable. Depending on the budget, a basic system can be installed initially and more PV modules can be added later.

 

 

Product Range

 

PV-Modules (OEM)


They manufacture Crystalline PV-Modules. Being Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM), they produce these modules on the basis of the customers' specifications. Hence their products are customized to their clients' needs and as per their requirements.

 

Off-Grid Modules


Off-Grid-connected PV power systems are part of the movement toward an independent electrical network. A "off-grid pv system” generates its own electricity for its application needs. The generated power is stored by charging a battery bank during day on sunny days. One can use battery banks to provide power for the application systems when required even during night time. Their of-grid-modules range from 5 w and above to up to 120 w. This range of PV Modules charge systems with either 6V/12V.


Grid-connected Modules


Grid-connected PV power systems are part of the movement toward a decentralized electrical network. A "grid-connected" system generates its own electricity and feeds its excess power into the utility grid for later use. This does away with buying and maintaining a battery bank. One can still use battery banks to provide backup power when the grid goes down, but they are not required. Their grid-connected modules range from 100 w and above to up to 240 w.
