| A: Solar Power is the energy of the sun, converted into eco-friendly electricity, which can then meet your daily ‘power’ requirements. |
|
| Q: How do you convert Sunlight into Electricity? |
| A: Sunlight is converted into Direct Current (DC) Electricity by a Solar Module. The electricity produced by the Solar Module is suitable for charging 12 Volt Batteries. |
|
| Q: What is a Solar Module made of? |
| A: A Solar Module is made of silicon cells, connected electrically. These are placed between layers of protective material. This “sandwich” is then heat laminated to a protective glass sheet. An anodized aluminium frame surrounds this glass. Solar Modules come in various power ratings, which is measured in watts. Tata BP Solar has a comprehensive range of Solar Modules from 2 Watts right up to 160 Watts! These are manufactured to international standards and approved by MNES and other reputed Agencies/Departments. |
|
| Q: What is a Solar System? |
A: A basic Solar System comprises the following:
- A Solar Module to convert sunlight into DC Electricity
- A Battery where the Electricity is stored and then used to power your DC Lights and Appliances
- A Regulator to control the amount of charge going into the Battery from the Solar Module and also to prevent the Battery
from overcharging.
- Your Load - which is the typical electricity demand of all your lights, fans, etc. The load is measured in kilowatt hours per day or ampere hours per day
Tata BP Solar helps you calculate this load. With this information and along with details of your average daily usage,
Tata BP Solar can recommend the most appropriate solar system for you. |
|
| Q: Are the batteries used in a Solar System different from regular batteries? Can I use car batteries instead? |
| A: No. Car batteries are not suitable. Only batteries designed for repeated cycling (the partial discharge of a battery and then recharging it to full charge) are suitable for use in a Solar System. Cycling, in a Solar System, occurs during nights, when the battery is discharged without any solar charge getting into it. During the day, the solar modules charge the batteries again. |
|
| Q: Do I need special cables for a Solar System? |
| A: Yes, you need cables of larger diameter than the standard cable. These are useful in avoiding voltage drops. Tata BP Solar can advise you on the same. Some systems, like the Jugnu MiniLite Kit, Tatadeep Solar Lantern, Margadeep Street Lighting and Udyandeep Garden Lights come complete with cables and accessories. |
|
| Q: Can I use a Solar System for both DC and AC Appliances? |
| A: Yes, Solar Systems are very versatile and can be designed for both DC and AC Appliances. You also have the option of converting them at a later date. |
|
| Q: Can I expand my Solar System at a later date? |
| A: You definitely can. Solar Systems from Tata BP Solar are designed to grow with your needs. You will simply have to add additional Solar Modules and Batteries as required. In some cases, a larger Regulator may be needed. But the good news is that the Regulator is the cheapest component in the whole system. |
|
| Q: What does a typical Solar System cost? |
| A: As each Solar System is individually calculated for specific requirements, the cost would vary depending upon the number of Solar Modules and Batteries needed. These can be worked out. Rest assured that Solar Systems from Tata BP Solar provide you the best value for your money. |
|
| Q: What are the advantages of using Solar Power? |
A: Increasingly, the world over, people are making a transition from conventional energy sources to Solar Power because they find it is more efficient, more economical and much, much more environment-friendly. Solar Power is as reliable as the Sun: no power cuts, no black outs, no voltage fluctuations.
It pays for itself in the long run. After the initial one-time investment on the Solar System, the power is free! In fact, the savings on your electricity bills will ensure that your initial investment on the Solar System is recovered in a few years.What’s more, you need have no worries about rising power tariffs and their effect on your monthly budget.
Solar Power is 100% safe and 100% pollution-free. Conventional energy sources have done irreparable damage to our environment.
Global warming is one of the greatest threats facing humanity and conventional energy is the main culprit in this phenomenon.
Another great advantage of Solar Power is that it provides you independent energy wherever you are. For instance, if you have
a remote farmhouse where grid power is not available ,you can generate your own power, because the Sun is everywhere!

| SAFE WATER APPLICATION |
Q: What is Reverse Osmosis? |
| A:
Reverse Osmosis is the reversal of the natural flow of osmosis. In a water purification system the goal is not to dilute the salt solution but to separate the pure water from the salt and other contaminants. When the natural osmotic flow is reversed, water from the salt solution is forced through the membrane in the opposite direction by application of pressure thus the term REVERSE OSMOSIS. Through this process, we are able to produce pure water by screening but the salts and other contaminants. |
|
| Q:How does R.O work? |
A: RO works by passing water through a semi-permeable membrane that separates the pure water into on stream and the salt water into another stream. The process is called “reverse osmosis” because it requires pressure to force pure water across a membrane, leaving the impurities behind. |
|
Q: What should someone consider while purchasing RO? |
A: Reverse osmosis system should be purchased by anyone who is concerned about the purity/quality, taste, or levels of dissolved minerals in their drinking water. |
|
| Q:
What impurities are removed by RO? |
A: Reverse Osmosis system removes most of the toxins, bacteria, virus, suspended solids and dissolved chemicals from the water. |
|
Q: Does RO remove any useful minerals, if so why should I purchase RO? |
A: RO removes most of the minerals from the water however the mineral content in water is much less water. We get all the essential minerals from the food we eat-not the water we drink. So, the fact is RO removes all objectionable minerals from water which are responsible for the bad taste, saltiness and metallic taste in water. |
|
Q: Does RO kills or remove bacteria and viruses present in water? |
A: YES An R.O. membrane has the pore size (.0001 micron) much smaller than bacteria virus, pyrogen or the Cryptosporidium parasite. When functioning. Properly, it will remove all microorganisms from tap water and produce sterle water. |
|
Q: How does it differ from my existing water purifier or Aquagaurd? |
A:Ordinary water filters use a screen to separate only particles. Of dirt sediments from water and aquagaurd-UV system uses a ultra violet lamp to deactivate the bacteria and viruses present in the water. Whereas, Reverse osmosis physically removes not only particles, but also minerals i.e. total dissolved solids (TDS from raw tap water. |
|
Q: What is the difference between your RO and other components ? |
A: Pentair Water’s RO systems :
- ISO 9001 Certified company.
- US $2. Billion MNC
- Presence is over 50 countries
- Most of the manufactured products conform to NSF 7 FDA Standards, USA
- All products are backed by prompt and efficient after sales and service
|
|
Q: Is RO water is equivalent to distilled water? |
A: Distilled water is boiled and the steam condensed for drinking water. Distilled water contains practically no minerals or dissolved solids, whereas RO water does contain trace amount of minerals and salts. Most people report RO as testing better than distilled water, which can taste flat. Distillers use electricity whereas RO’s work on line pressure from the household plumbing (Except for commercial and industrial RO Systems, which use pumps)and require no electricity. |
|
Q: Why RO Water is called mineral Water? |
| A:
Mineral Water which is made absolutely free from minerals or salts and then, minerals or salts are added in required proportion as per the standards i.e. BIS or WHO.
RO Water can not be called mineral water because the salts or minerals are not dosed in it but are maintained by the rejection level of particular membrane. RO WATER IS EQUIVALENT TO PACKAGED DRINKING WATER. RO.system removes approx. 90-95% of dissolved minerals and chemicals from the water and R.O. water then may taste like distilled water (no minerals) bottled water(low mineral), or natural spring water (moderate mineral content) |
|
| Q: Can RO work on borewell ? |
| A: YES an RO system will worn on borewell water provided that you do not have high levels of Iron / arsenic in your water. Special problems such as Iron and hydrogen suffide / arsenic require addtional removal processes |
|
| Q: Can RO work if there is lots of sand Iron in my water ? |
| A: NO RO can not reove the sand iron in water, it required special pre-treatment for high sand iron contents. However, RO physically removes some amount of turbidity and physical impurities. |
