Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 22: Red Instruments & Power Solutions Pvt Ltd (RIPS), a Mumbai-based leader in electronics and solar energy solutions, proudly unveils ‘Smiling Sun’, a cutting-edge, zero-maintenance solar system specially designed for rural India. Built with advanced Lithium Phosphate Battery technology, the product addresses long-standing energy reliability issues in remote areas and ensures hassle-free operation with no need for water refills or routine servicing–unlike conventional battery-based solar systems.
With over 30 years of experience in the electronics industry and a strong in-house R&D team, RIPS has been at the forefront of energy innovation since its inception in 2008. Manufactured entirely in its Mumbai-based facility, the Smiling Sun solar system is the result of years of field research and problem-solving in underserved areas across India.
The Rural Energy Challenge
During on-ground surveys in remote regions, the RIPS team discovered multiple systemic problems:
-Grid power was either unavailable or highly erratic.
-Previously installed solar systems had failed due to outdated technology and poor maintenance.
-Existing systems required frequent service, including refilling water in batteries–a major drawback in areas lacking access and resources.
-Efficiency was as low as 40-50%, with limited features and short functional lifespans.
Smiling Sun – The Game-Changing Solution
To address these gaps, RIPS developed Smiling Sun, a solar energy system that runs on state-of-the-art Lithium Phosphate Batteries. Unlike regular lead-acid batteries that demand regular water top-ups and upkeep, this innovative solution is truly zero-maintenance, with no water refilling or battery servicing required for up to 15 years.
The system is designed for key public infrastructure in rural areas including Anganwadis, Primary Health Centres (PHCs), government schools, animal hospitals, and other grassroots establishments. 
Key Highlights:
– Zero Maintenance with Lithium Phosphate Battery
Unlike conventional batteries that require frequent water refills, this in-built battery needs no water or maintenance throughout its 15-year life.
– Rapid Charging: Fully charges in just 4 hours of sunlight.
– Smart Auto-Switching: System uses solar energy as primary power. In case of low battery or failure, it automatically connects to grid power, and switches back to solar once recharged–ensuring seamless energy supply.
– High Efficiency MPPT Controller: Advanced MPPT technology ensures up to 98% energy conversion efficiency, making it one of the most reliable off-grid systems in its class.
– Intelligent Display: A backlit LCD shows real-time parameters like battery voltage, panel voltage, charging current, and system status.
– Pre-equipped with Essentials: System includes AC BLDC fan and AC LED bulbs, with wall-mountable safety design and robust anti-rust, powder-coated cabinet.
– Safety Features: Built-in protections from short circuits, overload, and overheating with temperature-controlled axial fan and DC fuse.
Why Lithium Phosphate?
Most rural solar systems fail within a year due to battery issues. Traditional lead-acid batteries require regular maintenance and water top-ups, which is impractical in remote locations. The Lithium Phosphate Battery used in Smiling Sun solves this problem with a sealed, long-lasting, and zero-maintenance design–a perfect match for remote government infrastructure where service teams cannot reach easily.
Driving India’s Sustainable Goals
Smiling Sun fits seamlessly into the Government of India’s rural development missions like Saubhagya, Smart Villages, and Atmanirbhar Bharat, offering a practical and sustainable solution for decentralized power generation. By providing up to 90% of generated energy for actual use, it minimizes energy loss and boosts operational efficiency for key public services in rural areas.
“Smiling Sun is not just a product–it’s a social innovation. It brings reliable, zero-maintenance solar power to the most critical institutions in India’s rural landscape,” said a spokesperson from Red Instruments & Power Solutions Pvt Ltd. “With Lithium Phosphate Batteries at its core, we have eliminated the biggest bottleneck in rural solar energy–maintenance.”
