G12R-based modules are solar panels built using G12R (210R) size silicon wafers, a newer rectangular wafer format developed to improve module efficiency and manufacturing economics. In comparison, M10 modules use 182 mm square wafers, which have been widely used in the solar industry over the past few years.
The key difference lies in wafer size and shape: G12R wafers are slightly larger and rectangular, allowing manufacturers to design modules with higher power output while maintaining manageable module dimensions for installation and transport. Because of this design, G12R modules can deliver higher wattage, better cell packing density, and improved production efficiency, while also helping reduce costs by lowering material usage and improving line utilization.
These advantages are why many manufacturers see G12R as a next-generation mainstream format, especially as the industry moves toward high-efficiency N-type TOPCon technologies.

The General Network Access (GNA) framework came into effect after the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) notified the GNA Regulations on June 7, 2022. The regime establishes a non-discriminatory and flexible mechanism for both renewable and conventional generators to access the Inter-State Transmission System (ISTS). It aims to reform grid access by simplifying procedures and improving transparency in transmission planning.
For renewable energy developers, the framework has been a significant confidence booster. By reducing procedural requirements and enabling long-term visibility of transmission capacity, GNA has made it easier for large renewable projects to inject power into the grid. In essence, the regime offers a more streamlined, predictable pathway for integrating green energy into the national network with fewer bottlenecks.
