Adani Solar Starts Manufacturing Large-Sized Monocrystalline Silicon Ingots

Adani Solar on Wednesday said it has begun manufacturing of large-sized monocrystalline silicon ingots in India.

The monocrystalline ingots will drive indigenisation to produce renewable electricity from silicon-based PV (photovoltaic) modules with efficiencies ranging from 21% to 24%, the company said in a statement.

"We are delighted to become India's first manufacturer of large-sized monocrystalline silicon ingots capable of producing M10 and G12 wafers. While the company's initial production has already begun, it intends to add 2 GW of ingot and wafer capacity by the end of 2023," Puneet Gupta, CTO of Adani Solar, said.

Adani Solar is the solar photovoltaic manufacturing and research arm of the Adani Group.
