Avaada ‘Halo’ hybrid battery inverter—designed, developed, and manufactured entirely in India—is both scalable and stackable. It is available in 3 kW, 5 kW, and 10 kW configurations, making it suitable for residential, commercial, and small industrial (C&I) applications.

India’s solar module manufacturing capacity is expected to reach 215–220 GWp by FY28, driven by strong policy support, growing domestic demand, and export opportunities, according to a new report by CareEdge Ratings. The country’s solar cell manufacturing capacity is also projected to rise sharply to around 100 GWp by FY28.

Jharkhand’s vast renewable energy potential, combined with its industrial base and critical mineral reserves, positions the state to emerge as a hub for low-carbon manufacturing, ranging from EVs, solar panels and battery energy storage systems (BESS) to green hydrogen production.

As nations move towards low-carbon economies, hydrogen pipelines could become the backbone of industrial decarbonisation, linking production hubs to demand centres with efficiency, safety, and reliability. Building this backbone is not just an engineering task; it is a strategic investment in a cleaner energy future.

Vikas Bansal, President and CEO – International, GameChange Solar, expects that 55–60% of India’s new utility-scale solar capacity additions in FY 2027 will use trackers — a significant jump from the current 30–35% adoption rate.

Loom Solar showcased its TOPCon and HJT PV modules up to 730 Wp, battery energy storage systems ranging from 1 kWh to 5 MWh, and made-in-India PV inverters from 3 kW to 50 kW. The company also announced plans to set up a 1.2 GW module factory in Uttar Pradesh.

Deepak Jain, Chief Technical Officer (CTO) of Insolation Energy (INA Solar), told pv magazine that they are eyeing major capacities in TOPCon G12R cell production and backward integration into ingot and wafer manufacturing. The company will begin commercial production of G12R solar cells by September next year, with an initial capacity of 4.5 GW in its Phase 1 rollout.

Wood Mackenzie says in a new report that India’s solar manufacturing boom risks overcapacity and calls for a shift from expansion to cost competitiveness.

The state-of-the-art facility is equipped with high-precision testing equipment specifically designed to continuously test and evaluate solar PV modules and their components. The modules are subjected to extreme climatic conditions, simulating the stresses they will endure over their operational life.

Emmvee has unveiled Titanium Duo G12 n-type bifacial (glass-glass) TOPCon module with power output of 715 Wp and an efficiency of 23.18%.
