Adani Solar, the Adani Group’s solar manufacturing arm, has  announced the launch of its retail distribution business in Tamil Nadu with Festa Solar as the official channel partner for the region. Adani Solar has now extended its reach to more than 2,500 towns for the distribution of solar panels in India.

Adani  Solar envisages an opportunity of 500 MW within these segments in the region. The target customers are predominantly in the rooftop, utility-scale, residential, commercial & industrial (C&I), and solar pump segments.
