Ensure the safety, quality, and efficiency of off-grid lighting systems
Off-grid or low-voltage PV (photovoltaic) LED lighting systems are lighting solutions that operate independently from the main power grid and utilize solar energy to generate electricity. These systems consist of solar panels, a battery bank, a charge controller, and LED lights.
