Solex Starts Rectangular TOPCOn Cell-Based Module Production

Indian solar module manufacturer Solex Energy Limited has now announced the commissioning of its 800 MW solar module manufacturing line. Equipped with the latest technology, the new line is tailored for mass production of N-Type, rectangular cell Tapi-R series modules ranging from 585 Wp to 625 Wp. This high-speed production line operates 30% faster than other production lines in India, ensuring greater output efficiency and reduced lead time, the firm claimed.

The facility integrates Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) and is fully automated, enhancing quality control while reducing manual intervention. “A standout feature of the new facility is India’s biggest chamber laminators, a pioneering innovation that significantly enhances module production. This cutting-edge technology enables higher module laminations in a single cycle, boosting efficiency while maintaining stringent quality standards,” Solex said in a media release.

Tapi-R Series 

The Tapi-R series, named after the Tapi River, a symbol of vitality in the region where Solex is headquartered—features N-Type TOPcon technology and a rectangular cell design that enhances power efficiency and reliability. With an 182.2 x 210 mm cell size and 132 half-cut cells, the Tapi-R modules deliver up to 625 WP of power with a 23.14% module efficiency. These modules are engineered for superior performance in challenging environments such as deserts and barren lands, boasting a bifacial rate of approximately 80% and an outstanding power temperature coefficient of -0.28%/°C.

“Clients can now pre-book the Tapi-R series, gaining access to state-of-the-art solar technology backed by a 12-year product warranty and a 30-year linear performance guarantee with the lowest annual degradation. Solex Energy Limited is investing to expand its manufacturing capabilities further as part of its Vision 2030 strategy. The company plans a new cell manufacturing facility with an initial capacity of 2 GW, scalable up to 5 GW, and an increase in module manufacturing capacity from 1.5 GW to 15 GW. This expansion aligns with Solex’s mission to become a fully integrated solar player and support India’s clean energy goals,” the firm said in the statement. 

“As we commission this advanced manufacturing line, we reaffirm our commitment to innovation and sustainability,” said Chetan Shah, Chairman & Managing Director of Solex Energy Limited. “This advancement enhances our production efficiency and aligns with our Vision 2030 to drive clean energy adoption through world-class solar solutions.”
