Adani Solar wins “Top Performer” at PVEL PQP awards for 4th year in a row
Adani Solar is the only Indian BNEF Tier-1 Manufacturer that has been rated as a Top Performer by PVEL in its PV Module Product Qualification Program (PQP) for four consecutive years
In its seventh annual PV Module Reliability Scorecard, PV Evolution Labs LLP rated Adani Solar as the Top Performer in its PV Module Product Qualification Program (PQP). Adani Solar became the only Indian solar manufacturer to win this award for four consecutive years (2021, 2020, 2019 & 2018).
PVEL’s PV Module PQP program is the most comprehensive program for stringent testing of PV modules on reliability and quality parameters. Results are publicly available.
It is noteworthy that Adani Solar is the only Indian Tier 1 manufacturer that has been rated as a Top Performer during PVEL’s Product Quality Program.
The company in the statement released noted the urgency of a solar revolution in the energy sector as well as its gaining greater importance as COVID-19 challenges the fundamental assumptions of our lives. New materials such as PERC and PERT improve PV module efficiency, thus driving growth in installations with higher returns and lower LCOE.
The company pointed out that such recognition could bolster confidence in new technologies such as PERC and PERT, thereby spurring greater adoption of solar energy.
“The PV Module Reliability Scorecard developed by PVEL is an invaluable tool for IPPs, developers, and engineers to bank upon and ensure that projects are built with reliable and durable products”, stated Ramesh Nair, CEO of Adani Solar Ltd.
He continued stating, “Four wins in a row for Adani Solar is a testament to our manufacturing excellence and reflects on our commitment to produce high-quality solar PV cells and modules while ensuring the highest levels of quality assurance.”
“Adani Solar will continue to provide the highest quality products and services, which pass through stringent testing procedures from initial material selection through finished product assembly and testing. This intense focus on quality control is what enables us to create benchmarks for ourselves,” he added.
CEO of Adani Solar pointed out, “It is critical that developers and investors know that not all solar module manufacturers have availed a thorough tests for the performance and reliability of their modules; this could have major ramifications for their projects. Adani Solar is committed to manufacturing high-quality modules with best practices at our state-of-the-art facility, ensuring superior performance and reliability.”
Tristan Erion-Lorico, Head of PV Module Business, PVEL LLC commented on the results of the PV Module Reliability Scorecard and highlighted Adani Solar’s achievement: “As the first Indian solar manufacturer to appear in the Scorecard four times in a row, we are pleased to name Adani Solar in our report once again. We hope to see the company’s continued growth in the near future and look forward to further collaboration.”
Adani Solar, India’s leading solar power solutions provider, is a vertically integrated, gigawatt (GW) scale cell and module manufacturer. The company has an installed capacity to produce up to 1.5 GW of multi, mono-PERC and bifacial PV modules at its factory located in Mundra Special Economic Zone (SEZ).
