Solar DC Portable Systems in Pakistan

What are Portable DC Solar Home Systems?

Solar home systems (SHS) are stand-alone photo-voltaic systems that offer a cost-effective mode of supplying amenity power for lighting and appliances to remote off-grid households. In rural areas, that are not connected to the grid, SHS can be used to meet a households energy demand fulfilling basic electric needs. Globally SHS provides power to hundreds of thousands of households in remote locations where electrification by the grid is not feasible. PAKSOLAR Renewable Energy designed and developed DC Solar Kit for Pakistan's remote areas, villages, super highways small shops, and other poor small town.

SHS usually operates at a rated voltage of 12 V direct current (DC) and provides power for low-power DC appliances such as lights, portable fans, radios, and small TVs for about three to eight hours a day. SHS is best used with efficient appliances to limit the size of the array.

A SHS typically includes one or more PV modules consisting of solar cells, a DC Portable Solar Kit which distributes power and protects the batteries and appliances from damage, and at least one battery to store energy for use when the sun is not shining.

Benefits

They contribute to the improvement of the standard of living by:
- reducing indoor air pollution and therefore improving health as they replace kerosene lamps,
- providing lighting for home study,
- giving the possibility of working at night and
- facilitating access to information and communication (radio, TV, mobile phone charging).
- Stand-alone photo-voltaic systems can also be used to provide electricity for health stations to operate lamps during the night and a refrigerator for vaccines and medicines to better serve the community.

Technical Standards for Solar Home Systems (SHS)

Paksolar Renewable Energy assures the quality of a photo-voltaic power system and its functioning and guarantees customers' satisfaction, it is important that the components of the system and the system as a whole meet certain requirements because we believe in اجالا سب کے لئے and our aims to lighten Pakistan's poor areas with our own designed DC Portable System with very cheap and no profit basis.
