Every solar panel on an Indian rooftop needs a translator. Panels make direct current; homes run on alternating current — and the box that does the translating, decides what to store and what to send to the grid, is the inverter. For ten years, a Pune team sold other companies’ inverters across India. Now it has started building its own.

A decade of selling inverters, then building them

The company is Oriana Inverters Technology, and its new solar inverter and energy storage portfolio was unveiled at the Renewable Energy India Expo in Greater Noida in October 2026. The launch marks a turn for a team that has spent a decade inside India’s solar market: its roots are in OSG Oriana India, a solar products distributor serving the Indian market since 2015. The company says its team brings more than a decade of experience across the solar ecosystem and over 5 GW of inverter supply experience — and that the next step was not to distribute technology, but to build it. Its manufacturing and technology base is at Chakan MIDC in Pune, Maharashtra, and the brand’s ambition, in its own words, is to become a global energy-technology brand from India.

One range, from a rooftop to a factory

The portfolio covers the whole span of solar installations. The on-grid range runs from 1 kW to 136 kW, from a single home’s rooftop to a large commercial project. The hybrid range, from 3 kW to 125 kW, combines solar generation, battery storage and grid supply in one system — the company says it uses advanced MPPT tracking, intelligent battery management and smart monitoring to maximise self-consumption and keep the power flowing during outages.

On storage, the company has three battery lines: BESS Home at 5 kW to 16 kW for homes, BESS C&I at 60 kW to 261 kW for commercial and industrial sites, and BESS Core at 100 kW to 261 kW for higher-capacity needs. The showcase at REI Expo also featured hybrid inverter and wall-mounted battery configurations — the pairing a homeowner actually sees on the wall.

Service first

Oriana’s pitch is not only the hardware. The company promises 24/7 technical support, with service centres planned in Pune, Bengaluru, Delhi, Kolkata and Ahmedabad — the bet being that an inverter brand earns its trust after the sale, not at it. The launch also unveiled a refreshed brand identity and a mascot, ORI, under the philosophy “Built on Experience. Driven by Service.” and the line “Made in India. Built to Power the World.” A decade of learning what Indian rooftops need, the company says, is now going into the boxes themselves.
