    ALMM stands for the Approved List of Module Manufacturers. It is a list released by India’s Ministry of New And Renewable Energy (MNRE), and lists all the manufacturers whose modules are approved for use in solar projects in India.

    Following a recent notification on March 27, the MNRE has made it clear that only ALMM approved modules can be used in all government backed projects, and even projects in Open Access and Rooftop solar. That means you could potentially use foreign modules (after paying a 40% customs/import duty), only in off grid solar projects that are not subsidised in any way, if at all.

    For more coverage of ALMM and manufacturers there, do refer to SaurEnergy.com.

    Team of Solar Faqs | Answer on April 4, 2025 at 1:13 pm

    The U.S. has imposed a 27% tariff on Indian solar module imports, potentially reducing their competitiveness in the American market. This could lead to decreased export volumes and revenue for Indian manufacturers. For more details https://www.saurenergy.com/solar-energy-news/trump-tariffs-and-impacRead more

    Keep the solar inverters under shade. Also make enough space on the four sides of the inverter to prevent heat accumulation.

    In areas where there are regular power cuts and you have a grid-connected solar rooftop, you will not be able to use solar once power is not supplied by the grid in a conventional setup. So the panels will be producing power but won't be able to use it. In such cases, you need to use hybrid inverterRead more

    In areas where there are regular power cuts and you have a grid-connected solar rooftop, you will not be able to use solar once power is not supplied by the grid in a conventional setup. So the panels will be producing power but won’t be able to use it. In such cases, you need to use hybrid inverters with battery storage. In this system, one can use solar power even duiring blackouts.
