    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.

    Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha Evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan Yojana is a scheme to subsidize farmers to install solar irrigation pumps for cultivation. Each farmer will receive a 60% subsidy to set up tube wells and pump sets.They will also get 30% of the total cost as a loan from the Government. the scheme is administered through relevant state government bodies in each state.
    there are three main components in PMKUSUM. Component A, or Groud Mounted Solar plants that will be grid connected, and built on land provided by Farmers.

    Component B or off grid solar irrigation pumps.

    Component C or grid connected solar irrigation pumps.

    Bifacial modules produce solar power from both sides of the panel. This is based on something called the ‘albedo’ effect, where a light coloured floor or ground reflects enough light to generate electricity through the reverse side of the bi-facial solar panel. Thus, these panels can generate more power than other panels in the right conditions.

    Mono-perc solar panels have a passivated emitter & and rear cell and produce from a single side.

    Reliance is yet to begin manufacturing solar modules. The company will begin production By March-April 2024 at its Jamnagar facility, based on inputs provided by it. However, initially, most of their production is expected to be used for captive consumption. So you may not need modules manufactured by Reliance being available for sale until much later.

    However REC, a Singapore based firm that has been in the business of making solar modules  for a long time was acquired by Reliance Industries in 2021. To that extent, you can buy modules from a Reliance owned module manufacturer even today in India.

    Solar  modules are actually closer to an assembly process than manufacturing. All previous levels in the chain, from cells to wafers to ingot and polysilicon, are not made in India, other than a little captive capacity for solar cells with some manufacturers.  Most of these are imported from China and are then embedded into a panel in India. Thus, with a capacity of over 60 GW now, in future, all solar modules you see are likely to have been ‘made’ in India.
