How much power does a monofacial solar module produce?

Each module has an area (with frame) of 1.9 m 2 and a rated power of 400 watts, corresponding to an efficiency of 21.1%. The monofacial modules were assembled in the United States in a plant producing 1.5 GW dc per year, using n-type crystalline silicon solar cells produced in Southeast Asia.

How much does a 1 GW facility cost?

The new 1 GW facility, with an estimated project capital expenditure of INR 700 million ($8.2 million) plus necessary working capital, will be funded with a debt-to-equity ratio of 3:1. It is scheduled to begin commercial operations in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025-26.

How crystalline silicon solar modules will be produced?

The facility will produce crystalline silicon solar modules using advanced technologies such as tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) cells, half-cut cells, and bifacial cells. Imported tabber-stringers, laminators, and sun simulators will ensure high-quality output and efficiency.

How much revenue can a plant generate if modules are sold?

At 85% plant utilization, the plant can generate revenue of more than [INR 10 billion] annually if modules are sold in the market. With captive consumption of modules, by eliminating third-party markups, we expect the gross margin to improve by 5% to 8% in projects where these modules will be used.”

Why is solarium entering structure manufacturing?

Solarium is also entering structure manufacturing – one of the three core components of a solar plant – at its existing facility in Bavla, Gujarat. This move will further enhance execution capabilities and shorten project timelines.

Why did MNRE shut down a 100 MW solar module facility?

The rooftop solar solutions supplier had operated a 100 MW polycrystalline module facility, launched in 2018, but shut it down after the Indian Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) implemented the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) mandate requiring a minimum module efficiency of 19%.
