Spire has delivered a turnkey photovoltaic module assembly line to Sova Power, located in Durgapur, West Bengal, India. The semiautomated crystalline-silicon module manufacturing line can produce up to 12MW of PV panels annually and can be expanded as needed in the future.

The line will integrate Spire’s key interconnect, lamination, and testing equipment, along with intermediate tooling stations. The Bedford, MA-based company said it will supply the process technology and training to operate the factory, as well as assistance in qualifying the factory’s modules to international standards and certification.
