Vikram Solar Ltd today announced adoption of G12R format across its entire PV module portfolio. The company said the move reflects broader industry trends toward larger-format wafers, high-efficiency n-type technologies, and bifacial module designs aimed at improving energy yield and project economics.
The announcement comes as Vikram Solar continues to scale its manufacturing operations. The company has expanded its module manufacturing capacity to 9.5 GW, with production facilities located in West Bengal and Tamil Nadu. The company said this scale provides a strong operational foundation to standardise on a single, high-efficiency technology platform while delivering consistency, quality, and reliability at volume.
The G12R product line includes the Hypersol G12R 132 half-cell module series and the Hypersol Pro G12R. According to the company, these modules offer power output of up to 640 Wp and efficiency levels of up to 23.69%. The rectangular large-format design enables optimised container utilisation of 98.5%, reducing logistics costs while improving project-level economics. Moreover, the advanced design of Hypersol Pro ensures unidirectional current flow, effectively eliminating reverse current and minimizing energy waste to maximize total power generation.
“Solar manufacturing is entering a phase where scale alone is not enough, clarity of technology direction and execution excellence will define long-term leadership,” said Gyanesh Chaudhary, Chairman & Managing Director, Vikram Solar. “By transitioning entirely to the G12R portfolio, Vikram Solar is making a deliberate choice to lead with performance, consistency, and future-ready innovation. This shift reflects our conviction to set benchmarks for high-efficiency solar manufacturing from India for the world, setting benchmarks that the global markets can trust.”
The transition will be executed through a phased approach, ensuring continuity for existing customer commitments while optimising production yields and quality assurance across facilities. Vikram Solar is engaging closely with suppliers, partners, and customers to enable a smooth adoption of the new offerings and reinforce long-term value creation.
