Abound Solar and Solar Integration Systems India (Solarsis) revealed that they had commissioned a 1MW solar PV plant in Kadiri, Andhra Pradesh, India on January 14. The project was commissioned under the Rooftop and Other Small Solar Power Generation Plant (RPSSGP) scheme managed by IREDA under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM). It is the first project in the state of Andhra Pradesh to use Abound’s CdTe thin-film modules.

“India is a key market for Abound Solar due to our US-made CdTe panel’s excellent performance in India’s climate, our commercial focus over the past two years and our successful use of US Export-Import Bank financing. We have a significant installed base in India and see this growing in 2012,” said Craig Witsoe, president and CEO of Abound Solar. “Solarsis is a good partner for us, offering project and local industry expertise.”

As always, our focus is on efficiency and quality improvement and cost reduction in manufacturing. As 2012 rolls along, companies are falling by the wayside due to supply and demand issues, ASP declines and drastic governmental subsidy cuts. A clear picture of 2012 is offered through papers from the likes of TÜV Rheinland, Fraunhofer ISE, SEMI PV Group and EPIA, amongst others.
