Part of the success the company touted was due to obtaining JET (JIS Q8901) and JET PVm certification that has meant its ‘Elite’ PV Modules have become popular with some of Japan’s largest EPC and PV project developers.

Vivek Chaturvedi, chief marketing officer of Moser Baer Solar, said: “Japan traditionally is amongst the world’s most quality conscious markets and we are proud to have established an Indian brand in high technology space here. This reiterates India’s capability to develop, manufacture and deliver world class products across categories globally. The opportunity is big and we look forward to further our commitments in Japan’s journey towards promoting clean energy. A strong quality focus, and our understanding of Japan market sensitivities in general and Japan solar PV business in specific has resulted in this significant growth in shipments.”

The company said that it had initially started marketing its modules in Japan three years ago.
