Que: What inspired the development of Solar Access LIB – Plug & Play Inverter cum Lithium Battery Solution?

Ans: The Solar Access LIB was conceptualised with modern households and evolving energy needs in mind.

• Designed for Modern Living: Today’s homes demand compact, intelligent, and aesthetic energy solutions that integrate seamlessly into daily life.

• Safety First: The product prioritises user safety through an enclosed, advanced lithium battery system with in-built protection features.

• Optimised for Space: Urban living calls for space-efficient designs — the all-in-one unit eliminates bulky installations.

• Aesthetic Integration: Standalone inverters and batteries often disrupt interior harmony; Solar Access LIB brings elegance and functionality together.

• Enhanced Mobility: Traditional setups require frequent movement and reinstallation; the integrated unit offers easy portability and hassle-free setup.


Que: What makes this product unique compared to traditional inverter systems?

Ans: • Solar Compatible Flexibility: Seamlessly operates as a home backup system or connects with solar rooftop installations, giving users the freedom to choose their preferred power source.

• Integrated, Mobile and Compact Design: A true Plug-and-Play innovation, combining the inverter and lithium battery in a single sleek unit — offering easy installation, portability, and a space-saving design that enhances modern living spaces.

• ZERO DROP Technology for Maximum Efficiency: Ensures 100 percent utilisation of solar power with no energy losses. Unlike conventional systems that suffer from diode losses and heat build-up, this advanced technology minimises heat generation and delivers over 95 percent charging efficiency.

• In-built PV Reverse Protection: Advanced safety circuitry safeguards the system against incorrect PV wiring or reverse polarity, ensuring long-term durability and peace of mind.

• Zero Maintenance, 100 Percent Safe and Eco-friendly: No acid fumes, no corrosion, and no periodic upkeep — powered by a lithium battery, it offers a clean, safe, and maintenance-free energy experience.

• Intelligent Operating Modes: Choose between Solar, Intelligent, or Hybrid modes to optimise performance, savings, and power source management according to usage patterns and grid availability.
