Surat-based Solex Energy Ltd. announced on Monday that it commissioned an 800-megawatt high-speed production line, marking a significant advancement in the country’s solar module manufacturing industry.

The facility is designed for precision and efficiency and incorporates the latest artificial intelligence and automation to accelerate production.

According to a statement, the new line operates 30 percent faster than existing production lines in India, significantly increasing output while reducing lead times.

A defining feature of the facility is the integration of India’s largest chamber laminators, an innovation that allows for higher module laminations per cycle.

This breakthrough technology is expected to enhance manufacturing efficiency while maintaining strict quality standards.

Tapi-R Series: High-Efficiency Solar Modules

The newly launched Tapi-R series, named after the Tapi River in Gujarat, is set to be the flagship product of this advanced line.

The modules utilize N-Type Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact technology and feature a rectangular cell structure designed to maximize power efficiency.

N-Type TOPCon technology is an advanced solar cell architecture that enhances efficiency and performance by utilizing a unique combination of materials and structural design.

It primarily focuses on minimizing recombination losses, which are detrimental to solar cell efficiency.

The modules range from 585 watts peak to 625 wp and achieve an industry-leading efficiency of 23.14 percent, making them highly suitable for deployment in extreme environments, including deserts and barren lands.

Strategic Vision for Expansion

“As we commission this advanced manufacturing line, we reaffirm our commitment to innovation and sustainability. This advancement enhances our production efficiency and aligns with our Vision 2030 to drive clean energy adoption through world-class solar solutions,” said Chetan Shah, chairman and managing director of Solex Energy, in the statement.

Solex Energy’s Vision 2030 outlines an ambitious expansion strategy. The company plans to establish a new solar cell manufacturing facility with an initial capacity of 2 gigawatts, scalable to 5 GW while ramping up module manufacturing capacity from 1.5 GW to 15 GW.

These developments position the company as a major player in India’s renewable energy sector, reinforcing the country’s broader clean energy goals.
