One of the basic ways in which solar systems are implemented is called off grid systems. Here the energy is generated, stored and used at the same location, without any interaction from the secondary source. Solar home systems is a direct application of off grid systems. Here, solar energy is used to power small home appliances like lights, fans, TV and other smaller appliance.
From the many SHS systems that Apex Power Concepts has implemented, one such system is in Djibouti. The application was for low income housing scheme. Here are the details of the system
