<p>Recently, Mercom had <a href="https://mercomindia.com/mizoram-tender-solar-inverter-charger/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">reported</a> that Mizoram had also issued a tender for the procurement of 2,300 solar inverter chargers.</p>
<p>Notably, in the calendar year 2019, <a href="https://www.huawei.com/en/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Huawei</a>, emerged as the lead supplier of inverters to the Indian solar market overall, followed by <a href="https://www.sungrowpower.com/en/home" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Sungrow</a> and TBEA Energy. ABB and TMEIC rounded off the top five, according to Mercom’s report <a href="https://mercomindia.com/product/mercom-india-solar-market-leaderboard-2020-market-shares-profiles/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">India Solar Market Leaderboard 2020</a>.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy recently <a href="https://mercomindia.com/deadline-bis-certification-solar-inverters-extended-2/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">extended</a> the deadline for the self-certification of solar inverters to December 31, 2020. The earlier deadline was June 30, 2020. The MNRE said that the six-month extension was announced due to the disruption caused by the ongoing COVID-19 lockdown following which the industry had sought more time for compliance.</p>
