Solex Energy Partners with ISC Konstanz to Pioneer Next-Generation Solar Technologies

Solex Energy has entered into a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with ISC Konstanz, Germany, to collaborate on advanced research and development in next-generation solar technologies.

Under this partnership, ISC Konstanz will provide comprehensive technological support to Solex for upgrading its upcoming TOPCon cell line and for adopting Rear Contact and c-Si tandem/perovskite solar technologies. The collaboration also includes establishing a dedicated in-house R&D facility at Solex, leveraging ISC Konstanz’s patent portfolio to foster continuous innovation and high-efficiency solar manufacturing in India.

Highlighting the milestone, Dr. Chetan Shah, Chairman and Managing Director of Solex Energy, said:

“This partnership marks a defining chapter in Solex’s journey toward technological excellence and global leadership. Under our Vision 2030, we are committed to transforming India into a hub of solar innovation, targeting a valuation of Rs 1 lakh crore, a USD 1.5 billion investment, and a workforce of 25,000 skilled professionals driving that vision forward.”

He added that Solex has consistently demonstrated leadership in solar technology, recalling the company’s launch of India’s first solar module powered by rectangular cells during the Renewable Energy India (REI) 2024 exhibition.

“Once again, we are making history by introducing some of the most advanced solar technologies to India. Our mission is to deliver best-in-class, reliable, and efficient solar solutions that empower industries, communities, and the nation,” Dr. Shah said.

The company also unveiled the TAPI Rear Contact Solar Module, India’s first Rear Contact solar module, representing a major leap in solar design and performance. The TAPI module—registered under Solex Energy—features N-Type Rear Contact technology, offering up to 24.6?ficiency and 665W power output, with zero front shading and enhanced temperature resilience. Commercial production is expected to begin by FY27, marking Solex’s entry into the next era of premium solar manufacturing.

Dr. Radovan Kope?ek, Head of Strategy and Education at ISC Konstanz, commented:

“Since 2005, ISC Konstanz has been focused on enhancing photovoltaic efficiency while reducing costs. Our mission is to deliver research outcomes that create tangible benefits for both industry and society. Partnering with Solex Energy brings us closer to realizing a global vision of accessible, affordable, and sustainable solar power for all.”

This collaboration underscores a shared commitment between Solex Energy and ISC Konstanz to accelerate solar innovation, strengthen India’s renewable energy ecosystem, and drive the global transition toward a cleaner, more sustainable future.
