Vikram Solar Expands Manufacturing to 4.5 GW with Advanced Module Technology

Vikram Solar, one of India’s leading solar manufacturers, has taken a significant step toward innovation and scalability by expanding its Falta facility in West Bengal by 1 GW and upgrading its Oragadam facility in Chennai to produce next-generation TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) and HJT (Heterojunction) solar modules.

With this expansion, Vikram Solar’s annual production capacity has now reached 4.5 GW, solidifying its position as a major contributor to India’s renewable energy sector. The integration of TOPCon and HJT module technologies at its Chennai facility reflects the company’s commitment to adopting high-efficiency solar solutions that enhance energy output and performance.

This strategic move aligns with India's ambitious solar energy targets, boosting domestic manufacturing and reducing reliance on imports. The expansion supports the Make in India initiative, helping strengthen the country’s solar supply chain while making cutting-edge solar technology more accessible for utility-scale and rooftop projects.

Benefits of Next-Gen Solar Technologies

Vikram Solar’s investment in next-gen solar technologies like TOPCon and HJT demonstrates a focus on efficiency and sustainability. These technologies offer:

• Higher efficiency and energy yield compared to conventional PERC modules.
• Improved temperature tolerance, making them ideal for India's diverse climate.
• Enhanced durability, ensuring longer operational life and better return on investment for solar projects.
