MNRE lowers efficiency thresholds for off-grid solar modules under ALMM

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has updated the approved list of models and manufacturers (ALMM), making it easier for low-wattage solar modules used in off-grid applications to qualify. The change applies to category-III off-grid systems such as solar lamps, street lights, and fans. These systems, with modules under 200 Wp capacity, will now require only 18 per cent minimum efficiency for enlistment. This applies to both crystalline-silicon (c-Si) and cadmium telluride (CdTe)…
