Balance of Systems

Swiss electrical connector manufacturer Stäubli has invested $10 million to expand its manufacturing facility in Bangalore, strengthening its presence in India’s fast-growing solar PV market. The expanded site will produce MC4-Evo1 and MC4-Evo2 connectors using fully automated assembly lines to support domestic and global demand.

Green hydrogen will scale not through isolated technology breakthroughs, but through disciplined engineering execution. Projects that embed electrolysers within robust, flexible, and future-ready Balance-of-Plant architectures will define the next phase of industrial decarbonisation and renewable energy integration worldwide.

The four-day Summit will focus on the entire power value chain, including power generation (with emphasis on clean energy systems such as solar, wind, hydro, green hydrogen, etc.), transmission and distribution, energy storage, and energy efficiency solutions.

Delta Electronics India will supply 100 units of its made-in-India 1.1 MW bi-directional power conditioning systems to Prostarm’s battery energy storage projects for power utilities, including Bihar State Power Generation Company Ltd and Adani Electricity Mumbai Ltd.

Waaree Energies is looking to deepen its presence in Europe as the European Union’s Net-Zero Industry Act (NZIA) reshapes solar procurement and curbs reliance on Chinese module suppliers. “As a listed, Tier-1, bankable manufacturer with a proven multi-gigawatt track record, we offer the scale and credibility European developers now prioritise,” says Sunil Rathi, executive director, Waaree Group.

Insolation Energy (INA Solar) has advanced construction work on its upcoming 4.5 GW solar cell manufacturing plant and 18,000 metric tonnes per annum aluminium frame production facility in Narmadapuram, Madhya Pradesh. Major equipment orders for the manufacturing lines have already been placed.

Premier Energies now holds 80% of Premier-Green Aluminium, the JV company formed for manufacturing aluminium frames for solar PV modules, with Nuevosol Energy holding the remaining 20%.

With renewables’ share in power generation expected to grow significantly, there will also be a push in the demand for next-generation transformers that are capable of handling the intermittent nature of solar, wind, and other non-polluting sources of energy. The grid of the future demands not only more transformers but smarter, adaptive, and sustainable designs that can support India’s ambitious renewable targets and fast-rising power demand.

With U.S. domestic steel mills booked solid through 2025, a sudden doubling of tariffs on imported steel has created a critical bottleneck for American industries. The move, which hits specialized Indian steel particularly hard, is now delaying projects for builders and renewable energy developers who rely on steady, affordable supply.

AB Energia, an end-to-end solar EPC solutions provider in India, has entered manufacturing of high-performance fixed-tilt steel structures with the launch of its subsidiary, AVIISII Electric Systems.
