It transforms the lives of ordinary citizens by providing them reliable power supply, energy-efficient appliances, and lower cost of electricity all at the same time. The DSIR certified R&D lab at Cygni gives the necessary traction to the innovation by catering to the requirements of society. The product variants are positioned to ensure universal energy access by particularly focusing on the marginalized section. Our product not only caters to homes that lack access to power but is also capable of running urban homes and even businesses.
In the tribal areas and remote geographical locations of India, the power eludes households and mainstream development remains a distant dream. And households often fall into the viciousness of poverty. The transformative effect of energy access has been proven to improve the life standard of the people by enabling longer hours of work. Children can now study in a well-lit and ventilated home environment, as well as energy access is creating new job opportunities through rural entrepreneurship. An affirmative step to bring the marginalized section to the mainstream was envisaged and envisioned through the revolutionary DC technology. Our solar solutions ensured energy access a reality to the remote terrains.
Our core product is Cygni Integrated Battery Inverterless System (IBIS). It comes with an integrated Li-ion battery replacing the older lead-acid batteries, making the system both compact and efficient.
