Govt supports plans to increase domestic solar equipment manufacturing
Permionics Group, a Liquid Separation & Membrane Technology pioneer from Vadodara, is set to produce solar wafer from silicon ingots using semiconductor grade water or 18Meg Ohm water to service 10 GW Capacity orders.
Permionics said on 19 Dec 2022 that it has bagged the order from the solar wafer and ingot-wafer manufacturing sector.
As renewable energy continues to rise in popularity, major solar cell manufacturers and companies in the sector are looking to backward integrate and take control of their supply chain.
Permionics, a pioneer in membrane technology, said it “is on its way to making major changes in the way we approach sustainability”.
It has mastered the technology and process integration necessary for total water and waste management in the solar wafer manufacturing process.
It has years of immense expertise in this field, having executed multiple USP-grade water systems and end-to-end management systems in the pharmaceutical industry for decades.
The company works closely with its customers to deliver end-to-end customized solutions, meeting their requirements and needs.
The Government is fully supporting this revolution and plans to increase its domestic solar equipment manufacturing capacity to 25 gigawatts (GW) of solar cells and modules, and 10 GW of wafers by April 2023.
Currently, India has a manufacturing capacity of 3 GW for solar cells and 15 GW for modules. Additionally, manufacturing zones for power and renewable energy equipment are being set up in coastal, mountain, and landlocked states. fiinews.com
