First Project With Modules From Credence Solar Nears Launch

Yet another Gujarat-based firm has embarked on its solar journey. The latest entrant is Rajkot-based Credence Solar Panels Private Limited, a solar panel manufacture with production capacity of 200MW equipped with most modern manufacturing machinery capable of M10 and M12, (540 to 670W in mono and Bifacial) which are now certified and approved by BIS for their quality.

First Project on the Horizon

Credence Solar is being led from the front by technocrats from the industry with a wide range of experience. Their collective experience and understanding of the industry helped operationalise the plant in April 2022, and now, with their first project set to go live, the company has a key milestone to celebrate.

The first project of 500KW with 210mm 650WP is expected to commission next week in Rajkot, making it possibly the first project with higher efficiency modules by any Indian manufacture. Also, the company claims that the achieved efficiency of 21.60% with 12BB 210mm 670W is the best from India as on date.

According to the company release, the high efficiency, optimised power output, high string power along with outstanding low irradiation performance and working temperature make M12 best for the new cost-saving standards to ensure the project earning and solar energy more cost-competitive.

Credence Solar hopes to get its modules listed in ALMM soon to be eligible for use in larger and more projects.

Offerings are Glass to Glass (with and without frame), Glass to Back sheet with MBB. Reinforced Rib with frame to get extra support from backside to keep up the quality and life for higher size PV Modules. Credence Solar is also exhibiting their offerings in REI later this month.

Bringing the Best of Technology

The fully automatic plant with NDC cutter to reduce the junction damage, MBB stringer with round ribbon to get maximum energy yield and to minimise the cells to module conversion loses along with string level EL is among the best currently. Robotic layup with auto bussing at bussing stage, hearting and cooling to maintain the reliability of soldering. Three monitor prelamination inspection for G2G bifacial modules to visualise front and rear sides. The double side laminator are with highest size with-fully automatic framing and modules are tested at A+A+A+ sun simulator 100% inline Hi-pot and EL. Premium quality BOM for better reliability and consistency in in quality that Credence hopes will make it a preferred choice.

The firm claims that it has met high demand for its output and as on date the line is almost booked. New machinery is on the way to gear up the capacity and in the next six months Credence Solar hopes to join the i500MW club.

Ashvin C Boda, MD of Credence adds that the motto of the organisation is to contribute in the field of Renewable energy sector by producing high efficiency solar PV products to meet the global standards and requirements with premium quality to satisfy its customers.
