India Surpasses 100 GW Solar Capacity: A Major Milestone in Renewable Energy

India has achieved a remarkable milestone in its renewable energy journey by surpassing 100.33 gigawatts (GW) of installed solar capacity. This achievement underscores the nation’s dedication to clean energy and represents a significant step in reducing dependence on fossil fuels.

India’s Solar Growth in Numbers

According to the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), as of January 31, 2025, India’s solar capacity has officially reached 100.33 GW. Additionally, the country has an impressive pipeline of upcoming solar projects:

  • 84.10 GW of solar projects currently under implementation
  • 47.49 GW of solar projects tendered and awaiting the issuance of a Letter of Award (LoA)
  • 231.91 GW total solar pipeline, including operational, under-construction, and tendered projects

Hybrid and RTC Renewable Energy Expansion

India is not only advancing in standalone solar projects but also making significant strides in hybrid and round-the-clock (RTC) renewable energy solutions. Currently:

  • 39.78 GW of hybrid and RTC projects are under implementation
  • 24.90 GW have been tendered but are awaiting LoAs
  • 64.67 GW total hybrid and RTC pipeline

When combined with the solar pipeline, the total renewable energy projects under implementation and tendered reach an astounding 296.59 GW.

Key Drivers Behind India’s Solar Success

This achievement is the result of continuous efforts by the government, industry leaders, engineers, and investors working together to harness solar energy. The Indian government, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, has been instrumental in setting ambitious renewable energy targets and providing strong policy support. Developers and contractors have been relentless in executing projects, while engineers and workers have contributed with their expertise and dedication. Investors have also played a crucial role in financing projects, recognizing India’s potential as a global renewable energy powerhouse.

A Greener Future for India

Local communities have embraced solar energy, supporting the shift towards a cleaner and more sustainable future. As India continues expanding its solar and hybrid renewable projects, the country is poised to solidify its position as a global leader in green energy.

At Pronounce Solar, we celebrate this historic milestone and remain committed to supporting India’s transition towards a cleaner, more sustainable energy landscape. Stay tuned for more updates on India’s solar revolution!

Zero Busbar Technology (0BB) is one of the most advanced innovations in the global solar industry. Unlike traditional solar panels that use 3BB, 5BB, 9BB, 12BB, or 16BB busbar architecture, Zero Busbar modules eliminate all visible metal wiring from the front surface of the solar cells. This allows sunlight to reach the active layer of the cell without obstruction, improving module efficiency, power output, and long-term reliability. Zero Busbar panels are designed for high-efficiency solar technologies such as HJT (Heterojunction Technology), TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact), IBC (Interdigitated Back Contact), and Shingled solar cells. These premium technologies perform significantly better than older polycrystalline and monocrystalline P-type modules. The combination of Zero Busbar and N-type solar cell technology ensures higher energy generation, superior temperature coefficient, lower degradation, and maximum performance even in low-light conditions. Key benefits of Zero Busbar technology include: - Zero shading loss due to absence of front-side metal lines - Higher active area and increased photon absorption - Reduced electrical resistance - Lower hotspot formation - Better low-light and diffuse-light response - Minimal microcrack sensitivity because the design avoids traditional soldering - Improved thermal stability and lower LCOE (Levelized Cost of Energy) - Enhanced mechanical strength and durability - Superior aesthetics ideal for premium rooftop installations and BIPV systems Zero Busbar modules improve the efficiency of HJT solar modules by enhancing electron flow and reducing recombination losses. When combined with bifacial design, these panels produce significantly higher generation per square meter, making them ideal for residential rooftops, commercial solar systems, industrial facilities, warehouses, and utility-scale ground-mounted projects. The global solar market is rapidly migrating from multi-busbar technology to Zero Busbar architecture as demand for higher output, higher stability, and premium design increases. Manufacturers across China, India, Europe, and the US are shifting production lines to 0BB technology for higher efficiency modules suitable for 2024 and 2025 installations. Installers, EPC companies, and consumers searching for advanced solar panels, next-generation solar technology, high-performance rooftop modules, or premium black modules can greatly benefit from Zero Busbar panels due to their better ROI, extended lifespan, and superior performance ratio. Zero Busbar technology is expected to dominate the next generation of solar panels and become the industry standard for high-efficiency module manufacturing in the coming years.
