Polycab crosses 6 GW in solar inverter shipments, plans 500 kW utility-scale launch next year

Polycab India Ltd, India’s leading wires and cables company, has achieved a milestone of 6 GW in inverter shipments, with more than 11 lakh inverters supplied to date. The company, which has an in-house inverter manufacturing facility, said its inverters account for 30% of the total rooftop solar installations completed under the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana.

At the Renewable Energy India (REI) Expo 2026 in Greater Noida, Polycab launched its hybrid inverter and battery pack, expanding its offerings in the solar sector. The portfolio aligns with the evolving rooftop solar landscape.

Polycab entered the solar segment in 2012 with the manufacturing of solar DC cables, followed by the introduction of solar on-grid inverters in 2016. Since then, the company has expanded its portfolio to include solar inverters, cables and balance-of-system products, catering to diverse project requirements. Its India-manufactured solar grid-tie inverters span capacities from 2 kW to 350 kW, serving residential, commercial and industrial applications as well as utility-scale projects.

In the utility-scale segment, Polycab currently supplies 350 kW inverters and plans to introduce a 500 kW platform next year, targeting installations under PM-KUSUM and the emerging 5 GW floating solar opportunity under the Pradhan Mantri Surya Sarovar Yojana (PMSSY). The company is also preparing for the next phase of renewable energy with advanced grid-forming inverter technology, which can support grid stability and resilience as renewable energy penetration increases.

“Having spent a decade building our presence in the solar inverter business, we have seen the sector evolve significantly, with technology and changing energy needs opening up new avenues for growth,” said Anurag Agarwal, CEO – Global Exports & New Businesses, Polycab India Ltd. “Our focus on quality, energy efficiency and regulatory compliance is reflected in the completion of BEE registration for our solar inverter portfolio up to 100 kW.”
