Presently, the company specializes in the production of mono PERC and N-type TOPCon cells and modules, offering a diverse range from 3 watts peak (Wp) to 740 Wp. With an existing factory capable of producing 800 megawatts (MW) of PV modules annually, Pahal Solar's ambitious plans entail more than doubling this capacity to reach 1.8 GW.
However, this expansion is just the beginning. According to details outlined on the company's website, Pahal Solar envisions further growth, targeting an impressive 5 GW of module production per year by 2025.
Beyond manufacturing, Pahal Solar extends its expertise to encompass solar engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services across commercial, industrial (C&I), and residential sectors. Notably, the company's portfolio also includes solar financing services, reflecting its comprehensive approach to solar energy solutions.
The strategic decision to scale up operations underscores Pahal Solar's commitment to meeting the escalating demand for renewable energy solutions, both domestically and globally. With Gujarat emerging as a key hub for solar manufacturing, the new factory positions Pahal Solar to capitalize on favorable market conditions and contribute significantly to India's renewable energy goals.
