GameChange Solar announced today its Genius Tracker system has been deployed in India’s first project featuring First Solar’s Series 7 thin film PV modules. The project, developed by Cleantech Solar and constructed by Jakson Green, is located in Tamil Nadu and has a total planned capacity of 44.8 MWp.
The project’s first phase (20.3 MWp) was commissioned in April 2025, marking the debut of the 535 W Series 7 thin-film module in the Indian utility-scale segment.
GameChange Solar’s trackers were selected for their compatibility with the module’s large-format rear frame design, ensuring ease of installation, structural stability, and high energy performance.
The second phase (24.5 MWp) is currently under development.
“We are thrilled to see our Series 7 modules powering this landmark project in India,” said Sujoy Ghosh, vice president-business development at First Solar, Inc. “These advanced solar modules are optimized for peak performance in India’s hot and humid climate conditions and work seamlessly with GameChange Solar’s Genius Tracker system.”
“At Jakson Green, we are glad to be part of this landmark project, which sets a new benchmark for utility-scale solar in India. The trackers from GameChange Solar can prove to be a pivotal component in maximizing energy yield. Through this technology, we can enhance efficiency and demonstrate how innovation in solar infrastructure can improve the performance of utility-scale projects,” said K Krishnan, joint managing director, Jakson Green.
Vikas Bansal, president – International at GameChange Solar, said, “As the industry embraces new module formats like First Solar’s Series 7, the real differentiator lies in how quickly and reliably we can adapt. This project is a strong example of that readiness and the kind of collaboration that will define the future of utility-scale solar.”
