Premier Solar Limited to expand solar PV module manufacturing capacity by 200MW

Hyderabad based solar PV installation solutions provider Premier Solar is reportedly gearing up to expand its solar PV module manufacturing capacity setting up additional capacity of 200 MW by the year-end.

The company currently has an installed capacity of 100 MW for module manufacture and 50 MW for solar cell manufacture, at Dundigal, near Hyderabad.

Surender Pal Singh, Chairman, Premier Solar speaking to BusinessLine said “We are in the process of expanding out solar module capacity from the present 100 MW by setting up a 200 MW capacity module unit. The orders for equipment have been placed and we expect to commission the unit by December 2016,” he added “The Company has achieved more than 100 MW of solar EPC installations, which includes 46 MW in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. We have a strong EPC pipeline and are also looking to further consolidate our module and cell business with capacity addition.”

According to the company the rooftop solar business will be a lot bigger than what it is today as the companies and people see more values in rooftop segmenting.
