Credence Solar Breaks Ground for 2 GW Advanced Solar Cell Manufacturing Facility in Rajkot – EQ
Rajkot, Gujarat: Credence Solar Panels Pvt. Ltd., one of India’s leading manufacturers of high-efficiency photovoltaic (PV) modules, has officially commenced the groundbreaking ceremony for its upcoming 2GW solar cell manufacturing facility in Rajkot, Gujarat. The new plant marks a significant milestone in the company’s strategy to strengthen its position in the rapidly evolving solar manufacturing ecosystem in India.
The upcoming 2GW solar cell production line is expected to be operational by the last quarter of this year and will primarily focus on next-generation G12 and G12R cell technologies, which are widely recognized for enabling higher wattage modules, improved efficiency, and enhanced power output, supporting the industry’s transition toward high-performance solar solutions.
With the introduction of the Approved List of Cell Manufacturers (ALCM) by the Government of India, Credence Solar has proactively moved ahead in securing and establishing the advanced manufacturing line to align with the evolving regulatory framework and domestic manufacturing requirements. The company’s early investment in this facility positions it strongly to meet future demand for high-efficiency, domestically manufactured solar cells.
According to company officials, the 2GW cell manufacturing facility will play a crucial role in strengthening Credence Solar’s vertically integrated manufacturing capabilities, ensuring greater control over quality, supply stability, and technological advancement.
Credence Solar has consistently been recognized for its early adoption of advanced technologies, including being among the first Indian manufacturers to commercialize G12-based PV modules up to 730W. The new cell manufacturing line continues this legacy by focusing on next-generation cell technologies that will support the industry’s shift toward higher efficiency and higher wattage modules.
Industry observers believe that the upcoming facility will not only enhance Credence Solar’s manufacturing capabilities but also contribute significantly to India’s vision of strengthening domestic solar manufacturing and reducing dependency on imports.
With this new investment, Credence Solar reinforces its commitment to innovation, technology leadership, and sustainable energy solutions, continuing to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of India’s solar industry.
