Currently, in India, two types of modules are used in solar projects: DCR (Domestic Content Requirement) modules and non-DCR modules. As per government mandates, most government-backed projects are required to use DCR modules. DCR modules are those manufactured using solar cells produced domesticallRead more
Currently, in India, two types of modules are used in solar projects: DCR (Domestic Content Requirement) modules and non-DCR modules. As per government mandates, most government-backed projects are required to use DCR modules.
DCR modules are those manufactured using solar cells produced domestically. This means that any solar module made using solar cells manufactured within India qualifies as a DCR module.

The most common metric we see in use is typically $/watt or Rs/watt in India. As it says, what that means is you consider the module cost, and divide it by its nameplate capacity to arrive at a number. Thus, a 500 Watt module priced at say, Rs 8000 per module will give you a RS/W cost of Rs 16 per WRead more
The most common metric we see in use is typically $/watt or Rs/watt in India. As it says, what that means is you consider the module cost, and divide it by its nameplate capacity to arrive at a number. Thus, a 500 Watt module priced at say, Rs 8000 per module will give you a RS/W cost of Rs 16 per Watt. While this measure works for smaller projects, you might want to consider many other factors for larger projects.
These range from the technology you prefer (Mono PERC or TOCon or even HJT) , to rate of degradation, thermal performance etc. With larger modules in recent years, we have also seen that these are faster and easier to install, although there is an enhanced risk of breakage as well during setup. Similarly, how these are aligned to other key suppliers like trackers (in case you have opted for them) to even the inverters matters. So make sure to consider all these factors carefully.
Remember, cost per Watt should be your starting point, no more. Look for credible, third party validated indicators for all other key parameters, before deciding finally.

Solar module production is more of an assemly line where different components of a solar module are assembled. For example-solar cells (mostly imported from China) are packed and connected in arrays, encapculants are used, solar glasses are used on the top and back to prevent from direct damage from water, cleaning and other threats. Silver pastes are also used in these modules. On the other hand, Alumunium frames are also used at the corners to make it easy to install and transport to give an additional sturdy support.
