Adani Solar Launches India's First Large-Sized Monocrystalline Silicon Ingot

• Says the monocrystalline ingots will drive indigenization to generate renewable electrical power from Silicon based PV modules with effectiveness ranging from 21% to 24%.
• The new production line will create silicon ingots solely for its solar wafers, cells as well as modules production.

Adani Solar, the Solar PV production arm of Adani Group, has actually presented India's first large sized monocrystalline silicon ingot. The company has actually said in its official declaration that the new product has actually been ushered in by Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group at its Mundra center, where it is establishing a 10 GW manufacturing center.

Adani Solar said that the monocrystalline ingots will drive indigenization to generate renewable electrical energy from Silicon based PV modules with efficiencies ranging from 21% to 24%.

Adani Solar, a part of Adani New Industries Ltd (ANIL), which claims to be leading India's power transition via the development of world's largest green hydrogen ecosystem, has said that it is the very first entity in India to complete the backwards integration of ingot line facilities in a record-time of concerning 7 months, making significant development towards the objective of 'energy swaraj.' The new manufacturing line will certainly create silicon ingots solely for its solar wafers, cells and modules manufacturing.

Incidentally, we covered exactly how parent firm Adani Enterprises has given EIL a mandate for a 30,000 TPA polysilicon plant last week, which will certainly finish the full in reverse integration from polysilicon to ingots to wafers and also cells as well as modules for the group.

With this, Adani Solar said that it comes to be the sole manufacturer of large sized monocrystalline silicon ingots in India which will be a crucial link in the photovoltaic or pv crystalline silicon industry value-chain and also drive towards a self-reliant India in the future.

Dr. Puneet Gupta, CTO, Adani Solar, said, "We are delighted to end up being India's first supplier of large sized monocrystalline silicon ingots with the ability of creating M10 & G12 wafers. We have made remarkable technological progress in every aspect of solar manufacturing in the past, from cells to modules, and we intend to reproduce our previous successes in our future undertakings as we backward incorporate completely to producing metallurgical grade silicon from quartz." He added that the firm is devoted to attain accelerated growth in business by developing a totally incorporated and also comprehensive ecosystem of 10 GW Solar PV production-- an ecosystem that not just is vertically incorporated however additionally hosts all secondary units in the very same geography.

While the first production of Adani Solar has actually currently started, it plans to add 2 GW of ingot and also wafer capacity by the end of 2023. By 2025, it will certainly scale up to 10 GW.

The business declares to be a pioneer in silicon-based cell and also module manufacturing with the establishment of initial GW range manufacturing facility of India that started in 2016. It has actually increase its annual production capacity of solar PV cells and modules from 1.2 GW in 2017 to 4 GW in 2022.

Currently, China-based Jinglong is the biggest producer of monocrystalline ingot.
