Macwin Solar Aims To Start New TOPCon Module Production From April

Gujarat-based solar company Macwin Solar has now planned to start the production of TOPCon-based solar modules from April of this year, the top management of the company told Saur Energy.

In an interaction with Saur Energy, Parth Budheliya, Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the firm, said that the company plans to carve out its own space in the Indian solar module manufacturing industry. He said that the green tech firm has planned to keep their thrust on TOPCon-based technology, sensing the higher demand for the latest technology in India.

Started From 25 Wp Modules, But Expanding

“Macwin Solar entered the solar module manufacturing sector in 2021. We started with 25 Wp solar modules for streetlights, the company has since expanded its product range to include modules from 40 Wp to 545 Wp,” Budheliya said.

Now, in a major expansion move, Macwin Solar is setting up a new 800 MW solar module production line based on Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact (TOPCon) technology. The company has so far been supplying M10 modules but plans to introduce TOPCon technology starting in April 2025. According to the company, TOPCon offers better efficiency and sustainability compared to M10 technology.

5 GW Module Production Target

Macwin Solar has set an ambitious target of reaching 5 GW in solar module manufacturing. In addition to modules, the company is preparing to enter the solar cell production sector, with plans to begin manufacturing by 2026.

“Solar cell production comes with technological challenges, including a shortage of skilled labor. However, as the industry progresses, the market will develop, and government initiatives are also supporting this growth,” said Parth Budheliya, COO of Macwin Solar.

With growing demand and increasing work orders, the solar module manufacturing sector is witnessing rapid expansion. Budheliya predicts that this growth trend will continue until at least 2028, offering ample opportunities for both established players and new entrants.
