“With this certification, Gautam Solar is now positioned to serve the rapidly growing demand for reliable and efficient solar energy solutions across the United States,” said Gautam Mohanka, Chief Executive Officer of Gautam Solar. “We have always prioritised building globally certified, technologically advanced solar modules, and this milestone further strengthens our mission to contribute to the global clean energy transition.”

The company said the CEC approval highlights its commitment to high-efficiency, internationally compliant solar technology and reinforces its capability to supply products for both utility-scale and distributed generation projects.

Renowned for its focus on innovation, Gautam Solar has developed multiple patented technologies and continues to invest in R&D to enhance module efficiency and resilience under diverse climatic conditions. Its production facilities use advanced manufacturing equipment to meet evolving global standards.

The CEC certification is expected to open up new avenues for the company, enabling it to collaborate with US-based project developers, EPC contractors, and solar distributors, as well as enter other premium markets that require rigorous product certifications.

Gautam Solar’s entry into the American market comes at a time when the US is ramping up domestic clean energy deployment to meet climate goals, offering a strategic growth opportunity for certified global suppliers.
