Sunlight, the original power source
Every leaf is a solar panel.
A tree spends its whole life catching sunlight and turning it into energy. Solar panels do the same job on your roof, and turn that light into electricity.
From canopy to array
Your roof can work the same way.
On-grid, off-grid or hybrid: AKE Power engineers the system for your site, installs it and keeps it maintained.
Start with your site
Plant yours with a site assessment.
Tell us about your roof and your electricity use, and we will look at what your site can support.

About AKE Power
One team from first visit to long-term care.
AKE Power is a full-service solar solutions provider for engineering, installation and maintenance, and a unit of Kalpana Power Tech Private Limited.
We design and build on-grid, off-grid and hybrid systems for residential, commercial and industrial sites, and stay involved after the system is switched on.

Roof to power
How a rooftop system comes together
Survey the roof
We assess the usable roof area, its orientation and how shade falls across it through the day, along with the structure and the existing electrical setup.
Install the mounting structure
The structure is set out to the design and fixed to suit the roof type, so the array sits at the planned tilt and is held securely.
Place and secure the panels
Modules are lifted onto the structure, aligned row by row and clamped in place.
Connect and inspect
Cables are routed and protected along the structure, terminated through combiner and protection equipment to the inverter, then checked before switch-on.
The finished rooftop
The system is commissioned and handed over, with maintenance visits to keep it safe and working as designed.

How solar works
On-grid, off-grid or hybrid?
Every system turns sunlight into electricity with panels and an inverter. What changes is whether it connects to the utility grid and whether it stores energy. Choose a type to compare.
On-grid system
Panels feed an inverter connected to your building's supply and the utility grid. Solar electricity is used on site first; the grid supplies the rest.
- Utility grid
- Connected
- Battery storage
- Not included
- During a grid outage
- A standard grid-connected inverter switches off for safety, so an on-grid system does not provide backup on its own.
- Often suits
- Sites with a dependable grid supply that want to offset part of their grid consumption.
Off-grid system
Designed to operate without a utility-grid connection. Generation charges batteries that supply the loads when the sun is not available.
- Utility grid
- Not connected
- Battery storage
- Used where required, sized to the loads
- During a grid outage
- Not dependent on the grid. Supply depends on generation, storage capacity and how the system is sized.
- Often suits
- Locations without a dependable or available grid connection.
Hybrid system
Combines grid connectivity with battery storage, managed by a hybrid inverter. Solar can serve loads, charge the battery or work alongside the grid.
- Utility grid
- Connected
- Battery storage
- Included
- During a grid outage
- Backup behaviour depends on the system design — typically selected circuits can run from the battery.
- Often suits
- Sites that want to use the grid and also keep stored energy on hand.

Which parts appear depends on the system type and the site.
Illustrative visualGenerates
Panel / module
Generates DC electricity from sunlight. Several modules wired together form the array.
Illustrative visualHolds
Mounting structure
Rails, clamps and supports that hold the array at the designed tilt and keep it secured to the roof.
AKE Power projectConverts
Inverter
Converts the array's DC output into AC electricity that the building can use, and manages the system.

Stores
Battery storage
Where the design includes it, stores energy for later or for backup. Used in off-grid and hybrid systems.

Who we build for
Residential, commercial and industrial
Each kind of site asks different questions of a solar system — about space, load, structure and access.
Illustrative visual01 / 03
Residential
Flat terraces, sloped roofs and independent houses.
Systems sized around a household's daytime and evening use, laid out to keep usable terrace space, with storage where backup matters.
- Terrace and sloped-roof layouts
- On-grid, off-grid or hybrid
- Battery storage where designed for backup
Illustrative visual02 / 03
Commercial
Shops, offices, schools and institutions.
Rooftop arrays planned around business hours, roof access and safety, so generation lines up with when the building uses most power.
- Metal-sheet and concrete roofs
- Safe access and walkways
- Layouts that work around rooftop plant
AKE Power project03 / 03
Industrial
Factories, warehouses and large sheds.
Larger arrays across industrial roofs, with structural checks, cable routing over long runs and maintenance access built into the layout.
- Large roof areas
- Long cable runs and inverter rooms
- Planned inspection and upkeep
Why solar
Practical reasons, plainly put
- 01
Electricity generated on your own site
Panels on your roof produce electricity where it is used. How much depends on the roof, its orientation, shade, the season and the system size.
- 02
Less electricity drawn from the grid
Solar used on site can offset part of your grid consumption. The effect on your bill depends on your tariff, your usage pattern and the utility's rules.
- 03
Stored energy, where the design includes it
Off-grid and hybrid systems can include batteries, so stored energy is available later in the day or, where designed for it, during a power cut.
