Solitech Solar Transitions To G12R Technology, Expects Boost In Orderbook

Surat-based solar module manufacturer Solitech Solar is now all set to start supplying G12R TOPCon modules for Indian solar consumers. The top management of the company, in conversation with Saur Energy, said that the firm has upgraded its facility to cater to higher-efficiency solar modules.

Hardik Ramani, MD of Solitech Solar, told Saur Energy that the firm, which started its journey in the last one year, has debuted well in the industry and is now enjoying a good order book. He said that earlier, the firm was producing TOPCon solar modules with M10 technology but has now upgraded.

Transition From M10

“From our solar module facility in Surat, we are producing only TOPCon-based modules. Earlier, we produced M10-based modules, but now we have upgraded to G12R, which produces solar modules of more efficient technology. With this technology, we can supply solar modules from 620 Wp to 650 Wp, well suited for the utility-scale solar market,” Hardik said.

He said that during the initial phase, it would focus on producing 620 Wp–630 Wp solar modules with G12R technology, which could later be upgraded further to 650 Wp. “We are now all set to supply the same, likely from December this year. We are getting a good number of queries on this, and we are set for its rollout,” he said.

Exciting Solar Journey

When asked about the journey of the firm in the first year of its operations, Ramani said, “Slowly, people started noticing our products, and the quality of our products spoke more than our words. We now have around 300 MW of module orders, which we have to supply by March this year. We are also anticipating another 500 MW of module orders, which we could complete by September next year.”

He also said that the firm currently has around 4 GW of module plant capacity, which could be further expanded if demand rises. He also welcomed the move by MNRE to bring in ALMM and said that the move would pave the way for the use of more domestic solar cells and reduce dependency on foreign countries for the production of solar modules in India.
