Indian independent power producer (IPP) KPI Green Energy has signed a supply agreement for 300MW of bifacial mono-PERC modules from PV manufacturer Emmvee.

Solar panels from the deal will be used for the development of a 240MW solar plant in the western state of Gujarat, India. After the state of Rajasthan, Gujarat was the state with the highest pipeline capacity for solar PV at the end of 2022 with more than 9.6GW of capacity, according to data from clean energy research firm Bridge to India.

The timeframe for the delivery of the modules is scheduled to be completed between June 2024 and May 2025, with some modules being dispatched as early as March 2024.

Last year the module manufacturer partnered with German solar research centre Fraunhofer ISE to build a 1.5GW solar cell manufacturing plant near Bangalore, southern India. The production line would both include mono passivated emitter and rear cell (PERC) and tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) cells.

Even though a timeframe for the completion of the plant was not given at the time, the manufacturer expected to have a domestic Indian annual cell capacity of 1.5GW by 2024, while in 2021 it signed a memorandum of understanding with the government of Karnataka to establish a 3GW cell and module assembly plant in the state.
