Premier Energies Ltd has commissioned its 5.6-GW solar module manufacturing facility at Seetharampur, Telangana, with trial production commenced.
With this capacity addition, Premier Energies’ total solar module capacity has now touched 11.1 GW, a company release said.
The new facility, meant for solar photovoltaic TOPCon modules, was commissioned through Premier Energies Global Environment Pvt Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Premier Energies Ltd.
Spread across 75 acres, the facility is expected to create approximately 2,000 jobs, boosting local economy and strengthening India’s clean energy manufacturing ecosystem.
Highly-automated facility
The new production facility houses one of India’s most advanced and highly automated solar module manufacturing lines. This facility can produce four G12R TOPCon high-efficiency modules every 16 seconds. The high level of automation not only ensures precision, consistent quality, and superior throughput, but also reduces operating costs and improves capacity utilization.
It incorporates AI-powered fault detection to identify and correct defects in real time, enhancing module reliability and performance. The integration of TOPCon technology with Zero Busbar architecture allows Premier Energies to deliver high-performance solar modules with higher energy yield, reduced optical losses, and improved durability, catering to both domestic and global markets.
Significant milestone
According to Chiranjeev Saluja, Managing Director, Premier Energies, “The commissioning of this new hi-tech plant is a significant milestone in our journey toward a fully integrated solar manufacturing ecosystem. By leveraging advanced technologies and scaling across the value chain—from ingots to modules—we are positioning ourselves to deliver reliable, high-efficiency solutions at scale and support India’s clean energy transition.”
Supply chain resilience
Sudhir Reddy, Chief Strategy Officer of the company added “This facility strengthens our strategic roadmap to scale integrated manufacturing while aligning closely with India’s renewable energy ambitions. By investing in advanced technologies and expanding domestic capabilities, we are enhancing supply chain resilience and meeting growing global demand for high-efficiency solar solutions.”
