Battery Storage and EV Charging

Power cuts mein bhi light. EV suraj se charge.

Power during outages. Charge your EV from the sun.

Add battery storage or an EV charger to your Suryam solar system. Your roof powers your home and your car.

Battery Storage

4-6 hours of backup for essential loads during power cuts. Starting at Rs 80,000.

EV Charging

7 kW home charger. Run your car on sunlight. Starting at Rs 25,000.

Section 1

Battery Storage

What it does: Stores solar energy generated during the day for use at night or during power cuts. A 2 kW lithium battery gives you 4-6 hours of backup for essential loads (fans, lights, WiFi, a few sockets).

Important Note

Battery systems are NOT eligible for PM Surya Ghar subsidy. Only on-grid systems qualify for the Rs 78,000 government subsidy. A hybrid system (solar + battery) costs more and saves the same on your grid bill -- the battery only helps during power cuts.

When battery makes sense

Your area has frequent power cuts (more than 2-3 hours per day)
You work from home and cannot afford interruptions
You have medical equipment that needs uninterrupted power

When battery does not make sense

Your area has reliable grid power
You want maximum savings per rupee invested (on-grid is more cost-effective)

Pricing

Rs 80,000 -- 1,20,000

2 kWh lithium battery (LiFePO4)

Includes installation and integration with your existing or new Suryam inverter

Rs 1,80,000 -- 2,50,000

5 kWh lithium battery

Includes installation and integration with your existing or new Suryam inverter

Subsidy note: Battery additions are not covered by PM Surya Ghar. Your on-grid solar system subsidy (up to Rs 78,000) is unaffected -- the battery is a separate addition.

Section 2

EV Charging

What it does: A dedicated EV charger (7 kW AC charger) installed at your home charges your electric vehicle from your solar generation during the day. Your EV runs on sunlight.

The Economics

An EV typically consumes 15-20 kWh per 100 km. At Rs 8-12/unit electricity cost, that is Rs 1.20-2.40 per km. With solar-generated electricity: near-zero variable cost after installation.

Compatible with all major EV brands available in India: Tata, MG, Hyundai, Ola, Ather, and others.

Pricing

Rs 25,000 -- 45,000

7 kW AC home charger (Type 2)

Includes installation, earthing, and grid protection
Compatible with all Type 2 vehicles

Compatible with all major EV brands available in India (Tata, MG, Hyundai, Ola, Ather, and others).

Section 3

Upgrading an Existing System

If you already have a Suryam on-grid system and want to add battery backup, your existing installer handles the upgrade. The hybrid inverter replaces the string inverter; your panels stay in place.

Ask your installer during the site survey whether your system design allows for future battery addition -- planning ahead reduces upgrade cost later.
