Products & technology

Solar components, explained for buyers

What each component does, where it is used, what to check in its specification and which GLS service it belongs to. Model-specific figures and warranties come from the manufacturer datasheet for your quotation.

GLS supplies and installs solar panels, inverters, mounting structures, DC and AC cabling and balance of system, batteries, solar water pumps, solar street lights and electrical panels. Components are selected on specification and serviceability for your site, with datasheets shared before approval.

Monocrystalline solar PV module shown close up

Solar Panels (PV Modules)

Photovoltaic modules that convert sunlight into DC electricity — the generating element of every solar system.

Used in: Residential and commercial rooftop systems; Industrial sheet-roof and RCC installations

Specifications & applications
Wall mounted solar string inverter with DC connectors

Solar Inverters

The inverter converts DC from the array into usable AC power and controls how the system interacts with the grid and batteries.

Used in: Grid-tied rooftop and ground-mount systems (string inverters); Battery-backed and backup systems (hybrid inverters)

Specifications & applications
Galvanised steel solar mounting structure being installed on a concrete roof

Solar Mounting Structures

The structure holds modules at the designed tilt and orientation and transfers wind and dead loads safely into the roof or ground.

Used in: RCC terrace installations with elevated or standard structures; Metal sheet and standing-seam industrial roofs

Specifications & applications
Solar DC cabling and connectors being installed on a rooftop array

Solar Cables, Connectors & BOS

Balance of system covers everything between the modules and the supply point — where quality quietly decides long-term safety and losses.

Used in: DC runs from array to inverter; AC runs from inverter to distribution board or panel

Specifications & applications
Solar battery storage components for a backup system

Solar Batteries

Batteries store solar energy so selected loads can run when there is no generation or no grid.

Used in: Off-grid systems at sites with no grid connection; Hybrid systems providing outage backup

Specifications & applications
Solar water pump set delivering water to a field channel

Solar Water Pumps

Pump sets powered directly by solar modules through a controller, for irrigation and water supply without diesel or grid power.

Used in: Borewell and open-well irrigation; Farm and plantation water supply

Specifications & applications
Solar street light pole with panel and LED luminaire

Solar Street Lights

Self-contained lighting units that charge by day and illuminate by night without grid cabling.

Used in: Internal roads in layouts and gated communities; Factory perimeters, yards and parking areas

Specifications & applications
Solar electrical distribution panel with protection devices

Electrical Panels

Switching, protection and metering enclosures that make a solar plant safe to operate and maintain.

Used in: Rooftop systems: DCDB and ACDB between array, inverter and board; Large plants: string combiner boxes and LT panels
