Gujarat-based Solex Energy plans an funding of over INR 8,000 crore ($954.5 million) as a part of its Vision 2030 to advance photo voltaic expertise and scale operations, positioning the corporate as an entire which is built-in photo voltaic participant.
As a part of this bold plan, Solex is exploring the event of a photo voltaic cell manufacturing facility with an preliminary capability of two GW, which is designed to scale as much as 5 GW. The preliminary 2 GW cell capability will probably be based mostly on TOPCon expertise. It is deliberate in two phases of 1 GW every with the primary 1 GW beginning manufacturing on the finish of 2025 and the opposite 1 GW on the finish of 2026.
The firm additionally goals to extend its module manufacturing capability from 1.5 GW by the tip of December 2024 to fifteen GW. Currently, it has 700 MW module manufacturing capability with an extra 800 MW to start out manufacturing in December this 12 months.
Solex goals to increase its workforce to over 25,000 to assist this progress in photo voltaic manufacturing.
Solex not too long ago launched its Tapi-R collection PV modules based mostly on n-type TOPCon cells in an oblong design. “The collection, named after the Tapi River, is an emblem of the vitality of the area the place Solex is headquartered, and the ‘R’ for its rectangular cell design, improves energy effectivity and reliability,” stated the corporate.
The Tapi-R collection modules include 132 half-cut cells based mostly on 182.2 mm x 210 mm wafers, delivering 625 W of energy with 23.14% module effectivity.
Solex says that the Tapi-R collection modules are particularly appropriate for big photo voltaic tasks in difficult environments, reminiscent of deserts and arid lands, with a bifaciality issue of roughly 80% and an influence temperature coefficient of -0.28% / C. The collection has a complete 12-year product guarantee and a 30-year linear efficiency guarantee.
