Interview: Aniket Sawant

Country Manager at GoodWe India

GoodWe India’s Aniket Sawant on Crossing 6 GW Shipments and the Future of Energy Storage

May 26, 2026. By News Bureau

From a product standpoint, GoodWe is expanding its portfolio in hybrid inverters, energy storage systems, and smart energy management solutions, said Aniket Sawant, Country Manager, GoodWe India, in an interview with Energetica India.

Que: GoodWe recently completed 10 years in India and crossed 6 GW in inverter shipments. What have been the key drivers behind this growth?

Ans: India has been a strategic market for GoodWe, and our growth journey has been anchored on three pillars: product reliability, availability as per demand, and strong partnerships.

We have consistently delivered high-efficiency, cost-competitive solutions tailored for India’s dynamic grid conditions. At the same time, our localised service network and technical support have ensured high system uptime – critical for customer confidence.

Equally important has been our collaboration with EPCs, developers, and distribution partners, enabling us to scale rapidly while adapting to evolving policy and market needs.


Que: Which segments are currently driving your India business, and how do you see this evolving?

Ans: The residential and C&I segment currently leads our India business, followed by utility-scale projects.

Looking ahead, we see residential growth accelerating on the back of supportive government schemes and rising power tariffs. C&I will remain robust, driven by cost optimisation and sustainability goals, while utility-scale demand will increasingly shift toward hybrid and storage-linked projects. Overall, the market is clearly moving toward integrated PV + storage solutions.


Que: How are your latest C&I inverter solutions designed for high performance in challenging environments?

Ans: Our C&I solutions are engineered for performance, durability, and intelligence. They feature higher DC/AC ratios, advanced MPPT tracking, and robust thermal management to maximise energy yield even under extreme temperatures. With IP66 protection and anti-corrosion design, they are well-suited for harsh industrial conditions.

In addition, smart monitoring and remote diagnostics significantly reduce downtime, ensuring operational reliability across diverse installation environments.


Que: What is driving the adoption of PV + storage among C&I users in regions like MENA?

Ans: The shift toward PV + storage is primarily driven by high electricity costs, peak demand charges, and the need for energy reliability. In markets like MENA, storage is increasingly being used for diesel replacement, peak shaving, and energy security, making it a compelling economic proposition. This trend is expected to replicate in other emerging markets, including India.


Que: What challenges remain in scaling storage adoption across developing markets?

Ans: The key barriers include high upfront costs, limited financing options, and evolving regulatory frameworks. Additionally, there is still a need for greater technical awareness and ecosystem readiness. However, with falling battery costs and improving policy support, we expect storage adoption to accelerate significantly in the coming years.


Que: What are your priority markets and focus areas going forward?

Ans: Our global focus remains on high-growth regions such as India, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Europe and Australia. From a product standpoint, we are expanding our portfolio in hybrid inverters, energy storage systems, and smart energy management solutions.

Our long-term vision is to evolve from an inverter manufacturer to a comprehensive energy solutions provider, supporting the global transition toward clean, reliable, and decentralised energy systems.
