Solar module production

India's solar manufacturing landscape is experiencing a remarkable transformation. With the nation targeting 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030, domestic manufacturers are stepping up with cutting-edge technology and massive production capabilities. At the forefront of this revolution are companies like Cosmic PV Power, whose 3 GW annual production capacity and AI-driven manufacturing are setting new benchmarks for quality and efficiency in the solar module industry.

The data from the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) reveals that India's solar module manufacturing capacity has grown from 2.3 GW in 2014 to over 100 GW in August 2025. As per the ALMM update in November 2025, the solar module manufacturing capacity has reached about 121.7 GW, marking a spectacular 53-fold growth in just over a decade. This exponential growth is powered by advanced technologies like Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact (TOPCon) G12R and AI-driven precision manufacturing, which are fundamentally changing how solar modules are produced and deployed.

AI-Driven Manufacturing: The Game Changer in Solar Module Production

The integration of Artificial Intelligence in solar manufacturing represents a paradigm shift from traditional production methods. Cosmic PV Power's state-of-the-art facility in Surat, Gujarat, exemplifies this transformation with its fully automated robotic manufacturing plant that ensures zero-defect production while maintaining an impressive 3 GW annual capacity.

AI-driven manufacturing brings several crucial advantages:

Quality Consistency: AI-powered visual inspection systems detect micro-cracks and defects invisible to the human eye, ensuring each module meets stringent quality standards.
Predictive Maintenance: Machine learning algorithms predict equipment failures before they occur, reducing downtime by up to 40 percent.
Optimised Production: Real-time data analysis optimises production parameters, increasing module efficiency and reducing material waste by 25 percent.
Traceability: Every module is tracked throughout its production journey, ensuring complete transparency and quality assurance.

The Numbers That Matter

According to industry reports from 2025, AI-integrated solar manufacturing facilities demonstrate:

30 percent reduction in production costs
45 percent decrease in defect rates
20 percent improvement in overall equipment effectiveness (OEE)
15 percent increase in module performance consistency

TOPCon G12R Technology: The Efficiency Revolution

TOPCon technology, particularly the advanced G12R variant, represents the next generation of solar cell technology. This innovation addresses the limitations of traditional PERC cells while delivering exceptional efficiency gains.

Cosmic PV Power's TOPCon modules achieve efficiencies up to 23.22 percent, significantly outperforming conventional technologies. The G12R format, with its optimised wafer size, strikes the perfect balance between power output and practical installation requirements.

Key Technical Advantages

The TOPCon G12R technology offers remarkable benefits:

Higher Efficiency: Module efficiencies reaching 23.22 percent mean more power generation from the same roof or land area.
Better Temperature Coefficient: -0.29%/°C ensures superior performance in India's hot climate conditions.
Lower Degradation: First-year degradation below 1 percent and annual degradation of just 0.4 percent.
Enhanced Bifaciality: Up to 85 percent bifacial factor for ground-mounted installations.
Reduced LID and PID: Near-zero Light-Induced Degradation and Potential-Induced Degradation.

India's Path to Solar Self-Reliance

The Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) initiative has been instrumental in promoting domestic manufacturing. Cosmic PV Power's recent inclusion in the ALMM with 1.302 GW capacity reflects the company's commitment to meeting India's stringent quality standards while supporting the nation's self-reliance goals.

Current data shows:

Over 100 manufacturers are enlisted in ALMM as of 2025
Combined listed capacity exceeding 120 GW
About 70 percent reduction in solar module imports since 2020
Creation of over 100,000 direct manufacturing jobs
