Government institutions need backup that survives long stretches without a maintenance visit, because the visit is the part that does not reliably happen.
A comprehensive backup solution for critical government school loads.
Critical infrastructure with low maintenance requirements — suited to government institutions
The school holds a 15 kWh load for four and a half hours on 69 kWh of storage, and the solar array cuts what it spends on power on the days there is no outage.
The result worth measuring here is in years rather than hours. There is nothing to top up, nothing to corrode, and no routine for anyone to keep — which is what decides whether a government installation is still working in year five or quietly failed in year two while continuing to look installed.
A school is an easy building to size and a hard one to service. The load is predictable and daytime, which suits solar, but the site has no technical staff, so the system has to run without attention and report its own condition. That is what decides the choice of battery, not the price per kilowatt hour.

Enough to hold the load the school cannot lose, for the hours the supply is out. Classrooms, fans, lights and the water pump are usually the list, and sizing to that list rather than to the whole connected load is what keeps the system affordable for a school.
They suit sites with no technical staff, because they need no water topping up and no equalising charge, and the battery management system reports the state of the bank rather than waiting for somebody to test it.
These installations are usually run as a state programme. This one was carried out under UP NEDA, the Uttar Pradesh New and Renewable Energy Development Agency.
