SunJeeviniTata Power Solar has launched SunJeevini, a retrofit unit that allows conventional inverter batteries to be charged through solar power. Conventional inverter batteries do not serve their purpose very well in areas where there is constant power outage for considerable periods of time. This one-of-a-kind unit will power an existing inverter battery with solar energy in the absence of grid power. SunJeevini can also be used to augment existing grid charging to save on electricity bills. This is a zero maintenance unit and can provide up to 3.5 hours of additional power back-up in a day. SunJeevini is designed to be scalable from 80 to 600 solar peak watts without any major changes to the system.

Solar solutions like this retrofit unit have a huge potential in India. The adoption rate could be massive in remote areas where there is no grid electricity or poor quality of grid. It would prove to be a huge success in urban areas as well, where power cuts are slowly affecting day to day life, especially during the summer months, a statement by Tata Power Solar observed.
