Tata Power has said that one of its subsidiaries, TP Solar, has commenced commercial production of solar cells at its 4.3 GW integrated cell and module plant in Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu.
TP Solar’s 4.3 GW factory in Tirunelveli is the largest single-site manufacturing plant for PV cells and modules in India. It is equipped for the production of tunnel oxide passivated contact cells (TOPCon) and mono-passivated emitter and rear cell cells and modules (PERC).
The production of solar cells at the factory, which currently has a capacity of 2 GW, follows the production of solar panels. The facility is expected to ramp up production and add the remaining 2 GW of capacity over the next four to six weeks, reaching peak production within months.
“The commencement of cell production at our Tirunelveli plant is an important step towards indigenization of the solar value chain and achieving self-sufficiency,” said Praveer Sinha, CEO and Managing Director, Tata Power. “We aim to make solar energy accessible to all and ensure a bright future for India, powered by renewable energy.”
