Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently inaugurated Avaada Group’s 280 MW solar power plant in Surendranagar district, Gujarat. The project features Avaada Electro’s ALMM-certified, Make-in-India TOPCon n-type bifacial solar PV modules. On the same occasion, the Prime Minister also laid the foundation stone for Avaada’s upcoming 100 MW solar project in Vadodara district.

In a new weekly update for pv magazine, Solcast, a DNV company, reports that solar irradiance fell by up to 30% in India’s northern regions during the southwest monsoon season, while central areas of the country made solar gains.

The gradual phase-out of ISTS charges waiver for solar and wind projects–75% for projects commissioned by June 30, 2026, 50% by June 30, 2027, and 25% by June 30, 2028, and zero thereafter–is bound to push up final price for end consumers. The shift could increase tariffs by INR 0.40–0.50 per unit

Serentica Renewables has signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with the Solar Energy Corp. of India (SECI) for 100 MW of round-the-clock (RTC) renewable power. To ensure the RTC power supply, it will deploy a mix of wind and solar power capacities, backed with battery energy storage systems.

The Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) is set to release final guidelines for virtual power purchase agreements (VPPAs), potentially unlocking financing opportunities for over 40 GW of uncontracted renewable energy projects across the country.

The system plugs into either a standard power outlet or the main electrical panel and automatically captures surplus solar energy – whether generated by rooftop panels or a portable plug‑and‑play kit. Up to four modules, each with a capacity of 2,200 Wh and 500 W of output, can be combined, and the system comes with a 7,500-cycle warranty for long-term reliability.

India’s rooftop solar potential is vast. Policy momentum, domestic manufacturing expansion, and innovative retail models are laying the groundwork for mass adoption. The focus now must be on making solar a simple, dependable household choice — where purchasing panels is as straightforward as buying a home appliance.

Polycab has launched its UT Series 350kW three-phase string inverter for utility-scale solar projects in Tamil Nadu. Offering 15/12 MPPTs, this series comes with a maximum 15A/20A DC input current per string, thus supporting bifacial 182mm/210mm modules.

Jaipur-based solar module manufacturer Insolation Energy Ltd has announced that its subsidiary, Insolation Green Energy, has incorporated four new wholly owned subsidiaries for the purpose of setting up solar power plants.

The inverter is designed for three-phase grid configurations without using external transformers. It contains gallium nitride technology, a first for Enphase’s microinverters.
