Insolation Green Energy, a wholly owned subsidiary of Insolation Energy, has broken ground on its 3 GW solar PV module facility and a 12,000 MTA aluminum frame plant in Sawarda, Jaipur, Rajasthan.

The company said it is investing ₹4 billion (~$47.6 million) in its third manufacturing facility.

The facility will produce 3 GW of n-type and ToPCon solar panels and 12,000 metric tons of aluminum frames annually.

The facility will cover 109,000 square meters and is expected to create over 800 jobs, contributing towards the region’s economic growth.

The company said the solar panels will adhere to international and Indian standards like IEC, Approved List of Models and Manufacturers, and Bureau of Indian Standards, ensuring high quality and reliability.

Insolation Energy’s products are used in government programs such as the Jal Jeevan Mission, PM-Kusum, and PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, aligning with the government’s Make in India vision.

In July, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) expanded the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM). Insolation Energy contributed 187 MW to the newly added 2,674 MW of solar module capacity.

The total module manufacturing capacity under ALMM now stands at 54,706 MW.

Earlier, Insolation Energy was one of six companies awarded a letter of allocation to develop 1,500 kW of rooftop solar projects each in Rajasthan. This allocation is part of a larger initiative by the Rajasthan Renewable Energy Corporation Limited (RRECL) to develop 45 MW of grid-connected rooftop solar systems across the state.

According to the State of Solar PV Manufacturing in India 2024 report by Mercom India Research, India added 20.8 GW of solar module capacity and 3.2 GW of solar cell capacity in 2023.

By December 2023, the country’s total solar module manufacturing capacity had risen to 64.5 GW, while its solar cell manufacturing capacity reached 5.8 GW. Around 60% of the installed module capacity can produce modules in M10 and G12 wafer sizes.
