The company, which began its operations in India in the 1990s, has entered the list with a verified manufacturing capacity of 602 MW. The approval is valid until November 23, 2029.

Websol, currently focused on manufacturing mono-PERC solar cells as part of its expansion strategy, has secured ALMM enlistment for 602 MW of mono-crystalline PERC (Bifacial) and P-type bifacial solar cells. These products feature cell dimensions of 182.2 mm × 182.2 mm and 182.2 mm × 183.75 mm, incorporating 10 busbars (10BB) and PID-free characteristics.

For its Mono Crystalline PERC (Bifacial) category, the company has reported an average solar cell efficiency of 23.16%, along with corresponding wattage categories under the ALMM framework.
