Eastman Auto & Power has opened an 800 MW solar panel manufacturing facility in Sonipat, Haryana, as part of its efforts to expand domestic solar energy production.
The company says the new factory supports its strategy to offer integrated solar energy solutions, combining PV modules with grid-tie, off-grid and hybrid inverters, as well as energy storage batteries.
The modules produced at the Sonipat plant comply with India’s Domestic Content (DCR) rules and standards set by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), making them eligible for government-backed solar programs.
Eastman said the expansion is in line with the government’s ‘Make in India’ manufacturing initiative and its drive to scale distributed solar and storage solutions.
The company also aims to support the deployment of rooftop solar under the Prime Minister’s Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana program, which promotes residential solar installations across India.
