Adani Solar bags “Top Performer” rank at the PVEL PQP Awards
PVEL’s PV Module Product Qualification Program (PQP) – the most comprehensive programme for stringent testing of PV Modules – has ranked Adani Solar as the top performer for the fourth time in a row…
“It is harder to sustain greatness and success as it requires consistency over a long period of time.” The statement aptly fits for Adani Solar that has bagged the rank of “Top Performer” at the PVEL PQP awards, for the fourth year in a row. This PV Module PQP is one of the most comprehensive program for stringent testing of PV Modules on Reliability & Quality parameters.
In its recently released seventh annual PV Module Reliability Scorecard, PVEL (PV Evolution Labs LLP) named Adani Solar the Top Performer in its PV Module Product Qualification Program (PQP). After winning this award this year, Adani Solar has become the first Indian solar manufacturing company to win it four years in a row (2021, 2020, 2019 & 2018).
Adani Solar – Mundra Solar PV Ltd is Adani Group’s solar PV manufacturing and EPC arm.
Adani Solar is India’s first and largest vertically integrated solar enterprise, offering a wide range of goods and services in the solar photovoltaic sector.
The company’s state-of-the-art manufacturing plant is located in Mundra, Gujarat and is equipped with multi-level infrastructure. The facility is being scaled up to 3.5 GW of Cell and Module manufacturing under one roof.
Ramesh Nair, Chief Executive Officer of Adani Solar said, “PVEL’s PV Module Reliability Scorecard is an invaluable tool that banks, IPP, developers and engineers use to ensure that projects are built with reliable and durable products. Four wins in a row for Adani Solar is a testament to our manufacturing excellence and reflects on our commitment to produce Solar PV Cells & Modules while ensuring highest quality, bankability & reliability.”
He added that, ‘We at Adani Solar will continue to provide the most reliable and high efficiency products, which pass through stringent test procedures from material selection to finished good stage along with continual in-house reliability tests that has enabled us to create benchmarks for ourselves.”
He further stated, “Developers and investors should always be aware that not all manufacturers have got their modules tested extensively for performance and reliability. Procuring unevaluated modules could have major ramifications for their projects. Adani Solar is a committed manufacturer, with state-of-the-art facility and best in industry practices, ensuring superior performance and reliability of its products”.
Mr. Tristan Erion-Lorico, Head of PV Module Business, PVEL LLC shared, “Congratulations to the Adani Solar team for achieving Top Performer recognition in the PV Module Reliability Scorecard for the fourth consecutive year. 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.”
In these challenging times due to pandemic, the necessity of a solar revolution in the energy sector is becoming more important. Thus, improved efficiency PV modules are driving growth and increase in installations, with new materials forecasting larger returns and reduced LCOE, (Levelised cost of energy).
Needless to say that this recognition to Adani Solar will lead to greater customer’s confidence in new high-efficiency PV modules like PERC and PERT that will consequently help in popularizing the adoption of solar energy at wider scale.
