Solar cell manufacturing is inherently more complex than solar module production, which is largely an assembly-based process. The production of solar cells requires significantly higher capital investment at the outset. In India, the establishment of solar cell production facilities also involves navigating additional regulatory hurdles. This is due to the water usage during production and the disposal of effluents. Furthermore, the handling of ingots and wafers involves working with hazardous materials. As a result, apart from the capital requirements, solar cell manufacturing and related backward integration must comply with stricter environmental, pollution control, safety, and waste management regulations at the state level.
As per the latest Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) published by MNRE on January 6, 2025, Waaree Energies holds the highest enlisted solar module manufacturing capacity at 11,919 MW. It is followed by Tata Power, ReNew, and Mundra (Adani) Solar.

While cleaning solar modules with water first thing you should do is to use soft bristle cleaner or dedicated solar panel cleaning brushes. You need to also ensure that you do not use excessive water pressure. Excess water pressure can damage your solar panels leading to the development of microcracks. The maximum pressure that can be used for solar panel cleaning is 35 bars. You should also try to use soft water for cleaning solar modules.

ALCM refers to the Approved List of Cell Manufacturers (ALCM). The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) recently issued a draft proposal to impose ALCM from April 1, 2027. The imposition of ALCM will ensure that the solar module makers in India have to mandatorily use only Made in India solar cells from local players. The move has now encouraged a lot of solar module makers to start their own solar cell lines. The move is likely to halt the entry of cheap solar cells from China and other countries.

Solar inverter makers give special LCD display on their equipment for the solar plant owners to monitor their functioning. This is in addition to the mobile app connected through WiFi which is also used to monitor the functioning of solar inverters. In case of any error (like in case of high grid voltage, malfunctioning of inverters and others, error messages or disconnected messages are shown both in the LCD and on the mobile app. It is advised that the solar plant user should regularly check the functioning of the inverters to avoid loss of generation from the solar plants. In case of any inverter issue, connect with the solar vendor who installed the inverter an solar panel for assistance. In case they are of no help, connect with the inverter manufacturer.
Some of the most popular and widely used solar inverter brands in India include-Microtek, Luminous, Sungrow, GoodWe, Solis, Solax Power and Growatt among others.

The Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) recently recommendated imposing anrti-dumping duty against the improts of Chinese and Vietnamese solar glasses due to their alleged ultra low pries. The Indian solar glass makers were demanding sucgh duties to safeguard their interests. Now with the imposition of anti-dumping duties, the foreing import below a threshold minimum price cannot enter the Indian solar market. This can ensure a level playting field for the Indian solar glass makers who were find it tough to comete with the the ultra low prices of Chinese solar glass makers.
