WattPower Crosses 5 GW Solar Deployment Under PM-KUSUM, Advancing Rural Electrification

WattPower has announced the successful deployment of more than 5 GW of solar capacity under the Government of India’s PM-KUSUM initiative. The milestone marks a significant step in expanding decentralised renewable energy infrastructure across rural regions, particularly in Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Maharashtra, while ensuring reliable daytime electricity supply for farmers.

The company stated that its sustained rollout under the scheme has strengthened distributed energy networks in Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets. Through its “Wired for Good” philosophy, WattPower emphasises aligning technological advancement with social responsibility, aiming to generate long-term community impact alongside business growth.

Supported by a 10 GW annual manufacturing facility in Tamil Nadu and strong in-house engineering expertise, WattPower holds a dominant position in the utility-scale string inverter segment across Rajasthan and Gujarat. Its performance track record has helped establish the company as a trusted technology partner for leading EPC contractors and state renewable agencies participating in the KUSUM programme.

Commenting on the achievement, the company’s CEO and Co-founder said that reaching the 5 GW mark reinforces the responsibility to deliver durable and efficient systems, particularly in rural settings where consistent performance directly affects livelihoods. He noted that the company remains focused on engineering solutions that ensure operational stability, efficiency, and grid compatibility.

WattPower’s flagship WP-330KTL-H1 utility inverter is designed for high-efficiency, ground-mounted solar applications and is built to deliver stable performance even under challenging climatic conditions. Equipped with advanced reactive power management capabilities and strong grid compliance features, the inverter addresses rising grid quality concerns in distributed solar installations through its Dynamic Reactive Power Function.

With demand expected to increase under KUSUM Phase-III and expansion into new agricultural clusters, WattPower is enhancing its service network, field technical support, and training programmes to maintain system reliability across India’s evolving clean energy ecosystem. The company’s deployments under the scheme have contributed to reducing diesel reliance, improving daytime power availability, and offering greater predictability for farmers in rural regions.
