“The Indian solar manufacturing landscape is evolving rapidly, driven by both domestic demand and strong government initiatives like the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, which aims to boost local manufacturing. India has immense potential to become a global solar manufacturing hub, and we are witnessing significant investments in upgrading technology, expanding capacity, and strengthening the overall supply chain. What truly sets Emmvee apart in the competitive solar manufacturing landscape is our proven track record of delivering high-quality, reliable products. A testament to this is Emmvee’s recognition in the PVEL (PV Evolution Labs) results, where we proudly stand as the only Indian manufacturer featured and one of only four models globally. This achievement underscores our commitment to producing modules that meet the highest performance standards globally, reinforcing the trust our customers place in our products.
Our investment in cutting-edge technologies like TOPCon, combined with our experience in timing the market, ensures that we remain at the forefront of innovation. This, coupled with our emphasis on delivering top-tier quality, makes Emmvee the preferred choice for solar developers both in India and internationally”.
The Early Years: Building a Foundation in Solar
Emmvee was founded in 1992 by the visionary Mr. D.V. Manjunatha, whose dream was to tackle India’s power shortages through renewable energy. The company started as a smallscale manufacturer of solar water heaters, focusing on creating eco-friendly solutions to meet growing energy needs. Within 15 years, Emmvee established itself as a leader in solar water heating systems, earning a reputation for reliability and high-quality products.
By 2006, Emmvee had ventured into PV (Photovoltaic) Module Manufacturing, capitalizing on the rising demand for solar electricity in both domestic and international markets. The company’s early focus on exports, particularly to Europe, laid the groundwork for Emmvee’s global success, with its modules performing reliably in challenging climates for over 15 years, achieving a zero-claim rate in the process.
Innovation at the Core: Pioneering Solar Technologies
Throughout its history, Emmvee has consistently embraced new technologies to stay ahead of the curve. The company has led the way in adopting automation technologies, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML) to streamline production and enhance efficiency.
In 2024, Emmvee continues this legacy of innovation by:
1. Expanding PV Module Manufacturing Capacity to 5 GW
To meet the ever-growing demand for high-quality solar panels, Emmvee has increased its PV module manufacturing capacity to 5 GW. This expansion positions Emmvee as one of the leading manufacturers in India’s rapidly evolving solar industry, producing advanced bifacial and monofacial modules capable of up to 680 Wp output.
This move also aligns with Emmvee’s commitment to domestic content requirements (DCR), supporting the Indian government’s mission to boost local manufacturing and reduce dependence on imports. With cutting-edge facilities in Bengaluru, Emmvee is well-equipped to cater to both domestic and global markets with innovative, high-performance products.
2. Launching the 2.5 GW Topcon Cell Line
Emmvee’s new 2.5 GW Topcon Cell Line is a testament to the company’s forward-thinking approach. Topcon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) technology is one of the most efficient solar cell technologies available today, offering lower degradation rates and higher energy yields compared to traditional cells. This launch places Emmvee at the forefront of next-generation solar manufacturing, catering to both utilityscale and rooftop solar projects with superior efficiency and durability.
Topcon’s adaptability to existing PERC (Passivated Emitter Rear Contact) manufacturing lines ensures cost-effective production upgrades, making it an attractive solution for solar developers and installers. Emmvee is poised to play a crucial role in the industry’s transition to Topcon-based modules, contributing to the broader global shift towards more efficient and sustainable solar technologies.
Global Footprint: Emmvee’s Reach Across Continents
Emmvee’s growth is not limited to India. Over the years, the company has expanded its presence globally, supplying solar modules to Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Africa. Its early entry into the European market, where it enjoys a stellar reputation for quality and reliability, paved the way for further international success.
Today, Emmvee’s modules power homes, businesses, and largescale solar plants across several continents. The company’s emphasis on zero defect products has allowed it to maintain long term relationships with global clients, offering not just products, but trust and reliability.
Emmvee’s success abroad has been mirrored by its increasing impact on India’s domestic solar market. With an ambitious plan to help India achieve 500 GW of renewable energy by 2030, Emmvee is committed to ensuring that its technological advancements contribute directly to the nation’s green energy future.
Emmvee’s KIWA 2024 Certification and Commitment to Quality
In 2024, Emmvee achieved yet another significant milestone with the KIWA certification, underscoring its adherence to the highest international standards of quality. KIWA certification is a mark of distinction, recognizing companies that meet stringent safety, durability, and performance benchmarks. For Emmvee, this achievement is a reflection of its 32-year commitment to quality, customer satisfaction, and technological innovation.
KIWA-certified modules are a guarantee of long-term performance, ensuring that customers receive products that deliver exceptional energy output, even in the most demanding conditions. Emmvee’s focus on quality extends beyond its products to its relationships with customers, partners, and stakeholders, which is why it continues to be a trusted name in the global solar market.
Looking Ahead: Emmvee’s Role in India’s Renewable Energy Future
As India strives to meet its ambitious target of 500 GW of renewable energy by 2030, Emmvee is at the forefront of this transition. The company’s expansion into cell manufacturing and its commitment to using advanced technologies like Topcon will play a pivotal role in supporting India’s clean energy goals.
Emmvee’s ongoing investments in R&D, automation, and sustainability will ensure that it remains a key player in the renewable energy landscape, contributing to both the domestic and global solar ecosystems. With more than 1500 employees, two high-tech manufacturing plants, and a well established global supply chain, Emmvee is poised to scale new heights in the coming decade.
