Premier Energies starts 1.2 GW TOPCon solar cell line in Telangana

Premier Energies Limited has launched a new 1.2 GW tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) solar cell manufacturing line at its facility in Telangana.

With this move, the company becomes one of the first in India to operationalise TOPCon technology at scale. These cells can achieve efficiencies above 25 per cent. The line uses a 16-busbar architecture to improve power density and real-world energy yield.

In May, Premier Energies signed a joint venture agreement with Nuevosol Energy Private Limited to invest in a new company, Premier-Green Aluminium Private Limited. This entity will manufacture aluminium frames for solar photovoltaic (PV) modules.
