Gujarat-based Involt Energy has announced its foray into solar cell manufacturing with a facility in Rajkot, Gujarat. The company said that the upcoming plant will have an annual production capacity of 1.78 GW and will feature fully automated manufacturing lines equipped with the latest technology in the solar industry.
The facility will adopt n-type TOPCon (tunnel oxide passivated contact) technology to produce high-efficiency solar cells that meet global standards.
The Bhoomi Poojan (groundbreaking ceremony) for the plant was conducted last week, marking the official commencement of this project. The company plans to begin ramp-up by mid 2026 with an additional 3 GW cell line and 3 GW wafer manufacturing facility.
