Premier Energies Ltd has commenced trial production at its 5.6 GW solar module manufacturing facility in Seetharampur, Telangana. The new facility produces G12R TOPCon modules with zero busbar (0BB) architecture.
With this addition, the company’s total solar module manufacturing capacity has exceeded 10 GW.
According to the company, the combination of TOPCon technology and zero-busbar (0BB) design enables higher energy yield, reduced optical losses, and improved module durability.
The facility, spread across 75 acres, features automated manufacturing lines, capable of producing up to four modules every 16 seconds. It incorporates AI-powered fault detection to identify and correct defects in real time, enhancing module reliability and performance.
“The commissioning of this new hi-tech plant is a significant milestone in our journey toward a fully integrated solar manufacturing ecosystem,” said Chiranjeev Saluja, managing director of Premier Energies. ‘By leveraging advanced technologies and scaling across the value chain—from ingots to modules—we are positioning ourselves to deliver reliable, high-efficiency solutions at scale and support India’s clean energy transition.”
Sudhir Reddy, chief strategy officer, Premier Energies, added, “This facility strengthens our strategic roadmap to scale integrated manufacturing while aligning closely with India’s renewable energy ambitions. By investing in advanced technologies and expanding domestic capabilities, we are enhancing supply chain resilience and meeting growing global demand for high-efficiency solar solutions.”
Premier Energies is undertaking a INR 12,500 crore capital expenditure program over three years to more than double its solar manufacturing capacity, expand backward integration into ingots and wafers and diversify into inverters, transformers and battery systems.
