4 FAQs about 1GW solar module production project

How much does a 1 GW facility cost?

The new 1 GW facility, with an estimated project capital expenditure of INR 700 million ($8.2 million) plus necessary working capital, will be funded with a debt-to-equity ratio of 3:1. It is scheduled to begin commercial operations in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025-26.

How crystalline silicon solar modules will be produced?

The facility will produce crystalline silicon solar modules using advanced technologies such as tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) cells, half-cut cells, and bifacial cells. Imported tabber-stringers, laminators, and sun simulators will ensure high-quality output and efficiency.

What are the components of a solar plant?

“There are three key components in a solar plant: solar module, inverter and structure. At 85% plant utilization, the plant can generate revenue of more than [INR 10 billion] annually if modules are sold in the market.

How much revenue can a plant generate if modules are sold?

At 85% plant utilization, the plant can generate revenue of more than [INR 10 billion] annually if modules are sold in the market. With captive consumption of modules, by eliminating third-party markups, we expect the gross margin to improve by 5% to 8% in projects where these modules will be used.”
