ReNew
As a pioneering force in India’s renewable energy journey,
ReNew's decision to venture into solar module manufacturing in
2021 aligned seamlessly with its commitment to become a global decarbonisation
solutions provider. By establishing its solar manufacturing operations
domestically, ReNew is not only bolstering India’s manufacturing sector but
also stepping up its decarbonization efforts.
The commissioning of our two module manufacturing plants in
Jaipur, Rajasthan in 2023 and Dholera, Gujarat in 2024 marks a significant
stride towards fostering Atmanirbhar Bharat. The total manufacturing capacity
of 6.4 GW modules and backward integration of 2.5 GW cells adds to ReNew’s contribution
to making India a global supply chain hub for renewable energy.
Introducing our Jaipur Manufacturing Plant
Built across a sprawling area of 22 acres,
our Jaipur manufacturing plant houses a total capacity of 4 GW under one roof.
This is one of the largest in the country. It is also one of the first plant to
be commissioned under the PLI program of Government of India for solar
manufacturing. It is designed to
produce some of the most efficient solar modules in the market
and create over 1400 direct jobs. With our plant’s production capacity of
around 15,000 modules per day, we are setting new benchmarks in the industry.
ReNew’s solar manufacturing facility in Jaipur is
equipped with a comprehensive quality control process, enabling our products to
achieve top efficiency ratings.
Here is a peek at the
plant’s manufacturing and quality control process.
How are our modules made?
The manufacturing process begins with a zero-waste laser cutter and then progresses seamlessly to a robotic arm glass loader.
Once the encapsulants* are loaded, a solar
stringer is used for soldering the cells together. Soldering is what enables
the photovoltaic module to transmit electricity, making this step of the
process one of the most sensitive ones. Our team of highly qualified engineers take
extreme care to ensure that cells are well connected with each other to avoid
any power loss. This stage is succeeded by lay-up, auto-
bussing, auto- taping, back sheet loading and back glass loading. At every stage, we carry out several defect inspections such as mirror
and EL inspections, to validate the reliability of our modules. This ensures
that our solar panels are free from defects like micro-cracks or faulty
soldering. We use specialized cameras at our Jaipur plant to detect minor
defects and produce only high-quality panels.
In the last and final leg of the manufacturing process of solar modules
we
conduct further inspections like IV characterization, Hi-Pot
(High Potential) testing, another round of EL evaluation
followed by a rigorous 360 inspection (final quality check).
Then the final products are sorted, graded and packed for dispatch.
Our Diverse portfolio of high efficiency solar panels
With a combined capacity of 6.4 GW modules which are compatible
with PERC (Passivated Emitter Rear Contact) and TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated
Contact) technologies, we specialize in a diverse array of high-efficiency
modules. Our product offerings include
·
M10 144 cell Bifacial and Monofacial solar
modules
· G-12 132, G12 120 cell Bifacial and Monofacial solar modules
Meticulously engineered to incorporate features such as hotspot
resistance, micro-cracking resistance, and enhanced power output in weak light
conditions during early morning, sunset, or cloudy days our panels are ideal
for large-scale utility and ground mount projects. These modules are also built
to withstand weather stress, ensuring minimal damage over time.
Our modules offer an efficiency up to 21.68% with power range up
to 560 Wp. (PERC)

*[Encapsulants are polymer-based sheets that are
used to integrate components. Solar cells are laminated between 2 layers of
the encapsulant to create a solar PV module.]
