Solar PLI scheme drives strong industry interest but faces implementation challenges
As of June 2025, the overall achievement (operational capacity) rate of the solar PLI scheme stood at approximately 29% of the total awarded capacity. Capacity additions remain below targets, with only 59% of module capacity and 14% of polysilicon capacity achieved as of June 2025.
DMEGC launches framed solar module weighing 7.5 kg/m2
In response to the growing demand for solutions for low load-bearing roofs, Chinese manufacturer DMEGC is presenting an IEC-certified lightweight 460 W module at France’s largest PV trade show – EnerGaïa.
The skills gap, not capital, is India’s real green energy bottleneck
The renewable energy sector creates significant employment density—approximately 10 times more workers per MW in solar and 3–4 times more in wind than in conventional power plants. This employment multiplication should be our competitive advantage. However, the skills gap is creating economic inefficiencies that compound across the sector.
Waaree Energies achieves 1+ GW monthly output
Waaree Energies Ltd has become the first solar panel manufacturer in India to produce over 1 GW of solar modules in a single month. This record-breaking output was achieved in November 2025.
The sustainability advantage: Why HJT’s low-temperature manufacturing process matters?
As adoption accelerates, the critical question is no longer simply how much solar capacity can be installed, but how clean and sustainable the manufacturing process behind it truly is. Heterojunction Technology (HJT) has become one of the most compelling answers to that challenge.
Insolation Energy reports progress on 4.5 GW solar cell facility in Madhya Pradesh
