SOLAR QUAD HOUR - Every house, every day !!!

Earth hour is celebrated every year on 27th March by switching off electricity worldwide for an hour between 8.30pm - 9.30pm. The noble thought is to save the planet by switching off power symbolically for that 1 hour.
At Helios Solutions, we have taken this idea further with a subtle twist. Instead of switching off power for 1 hour on a single day of the year, if we all of us were to SWITCH ON SOLAR for 4 hours everyday we would not only help compound that thought many times over but actually reduce the demand-supply gap considerably.
Lets look at an illustration. If a household were to use only 3 CFL (15w) & 1 Fan(50w) for 4 hours, it would consume 500watts of power. If one lakh households consume the same amount, it would total to 50,000Kilowatts of power/day!!! Helios Solutions provides you Solar Power Solution to enable you to meet this requirement at each of your household. 
What does this entail ? We will provide you with a Solar Panel no larger than 15sq ft to be put on your roof and supply the necessary electronics including a battery and an Inverter which will help you go Solar every day between 6.30pm - 10.30pm. During this time the 500watts consumption will come from Solar power stored in the battery while your other requirements in the house will be met with conventional electricity supply.
You may choose a larger capacity solution for larger power requirement or longer duration of usage. For example, you could install a 3KVA system which will allow you to use 4 CFL (15w) & 4 Fans for upto 10 hours!!!
What does it cost one to SWITCH ON SOLAR ? The cost of a 500watt solar solution is    INR 65,000/- which includes taxes & installation. Helios Solutions is pleased to offer a 20 year guarantee on the Solar Panels to perform at 80% of the rated wattage. Additionally, we also offer a 5 year replacement warranty on the battery provided. The Electronics comes with a 1 year warranty and the AMC for the same costs less than INR 2500 per annum.
What about maintenance of the system ? The beauty of this solution is that it comes with almost negligible recurring costs. Cleaning a panel is as simple as wiping the windshield of your car. The battery needs a check once in 6 months for distilled water level while the electronics is covered by the warranty terms. Implies COMPLETE PEACE OF MIND!!! 
Any benefits for the Customer ? The Govt has announced an installation incentive programme subject to a max of INR 100/watt (max) based on the panel capacity. The same is being implemented in various states of India. The amount is directly re-imbursed to you by the Govt. Helios Solutions will help you with the associated paperwork. We are pleased to be of any assistance to you in this regard. SWITCH ON SOLAR today !
