TBEA puts a new huge India-based solar inverter fab into operation

• The Chinese manufacturer is starting mass production of inverters at its new Indian facility. The expected annual production output is 2 gigawatts – 1 gigawatt at each of the two assembly lines (for string and central inverters).

China-based solar inverter manufacturer TBEA Xi’an Electric Technology has scheduled the launch of the new large-scale fab for next week. The plant’s annual production capacity is 2 gigawatts. The factory is installed in Bedadi, in about 5 kilometers from Electronic City.

The Bangalore project is being implemented in the framework of TBEA’s ambition to create three India-based production lines. At first, the manufacturer will begin with two conveyor lines, one making 208-kilowatt-rated multiple-MPPT string inverters and the second one focused on production of central inverters with full range of ratings for out-of-door use. Each line has a 1-gigawatt capacity. As for the third conveyor, it will come into operation later. 

The Chinese developer has an over-30-gigawatt pipeline in over 20 countries worldwide. In India, it operates more than 3 gigawatts of installed capacity. Apart from solar inverters, TBEA supplies e-routers, static var compensators, as well as flexible DC transmission systems. 

The service provider has two research-and-development centers (in China and Germany), has implemented over ten R&D projects, and has been granted with over 300 different patents.

Moreover, TBEA has developed a full range of grid-tie inverters rated at 3-5000 kilowatts as well as a universal smart PV power plant solution for various applications.
