My husband earned one famous title by accident of necessity — the Inverter Man of India. He earned the second one on purpose. Long before rooftops across India began to shine with panels, Kunwer Sachdev was already building the technology that would let homes store the sun. That quieter, second journey — from inverters to solar — is the story told at SolarManofIndia.com.
Seeing the sun before the rest of us
Back in 2005, while most of the country still thought of solar as something exotic and expensive, my husband introduced hybrid solar power-conditioning units (PCUs) under Su-Kam. It was a deceptively simple idea with enormous consequences: let an ordinary home draw from solar, the grid, and battery backup, all intelligently managed. That innovation quietly planted the seeds of India’s solar revolution — and earned him a second name, the Solar Man of India.

The Solar Journey
How an inverter pioneer became one of India’s earliest solar champions.
Innovations
The hybrid solar PCU and the thinking that made it years ahead of its time.
A Greener India
His vision for clean, reliable, affordable energy in every Indian home.
Storage & the Future
Where solar meets lithium storage — the next chapter he is building.
One mission, two names
People treat “Inverter Man” and “Solar Man” as if they were two different careers. They were never separate to him. Both names come from the same lifelong obsession: making energy reliable and affordable for ordinary people. The inverter kept the lights on when the grid failed; solar made sure the energy itself was clean and abundant. SolarManofIndia.com simply tells the second half of that single, unbroken story — a story that continues today through Su-vastika’s energy-storage work.
Why I write this on my own site
Because I have watched him chase the sun for as long as I have known him — patiently, stubbornly, years before it was fashionable. I am proud of the Inverter Man. I am just as proud of the Solar Man. On my own website I want people to know both, and to read the journey in his own words at SolarManofIndia.com.
