Jinchen to Supply 10 GW High-Efficiency PV Module Production Line to Waaree

In a significant development, solar module manufacturing equipment specialist Yingkou Jinchen Machinery (Jinchen) and Hitesh Doshi-led Waaree Energies have extended their earlier partnership and signed consecutive contracts for the supply of 10 GW capacity of high-efficiency automated production line for photovoltaic modules.

Under the latest agreement, Jinchen will supply a 2.5 GW capacity of the module production line to Waaree, India’s largest photovoltaic (PV) module manufacturer, as the latter is planning to set up complete vertically integrated polysilicon to cell line in India.

Post the addition of a new production line, the Mumbai-based manufacturer’s total capacity of module manufacturing will reach 10 GW, making it the largest module manufacturer in the Indian market, and one of the global leaders in PV manufacturing.

As of now, Jinchen has delivered a total of 6 GW capacity of production lines to Waaree, and the remaining 4 GW capacity of the module production line is expected to be delivered within this year.

Commenting on the partnership with Waaree, Vikas Singh, Sales Director, Jinchen group, told to Energetica India that “Waaree is most important Jinchen’s partner in India. The cooperation between Waaree and Jinchen started in 2017.”

Last year, Jinchen secured an order from Waaree to supply a 3 GW capacity of the automated production line, which was the largest project signed by a Chinese PV module equipment manufacturer and a local investor in the overseas markets at that time.

“After years of overseas market development, Jinchen Corp. has become a global leader in the field of module manufacturing equipment, providing advanced and reliable automation equipment and solutions for many overseas photovoltaic module manufacturers, and has accumulated rich overseas projects delivery experience,” Singh further said.

On Jinchen’s India market presence, he added that “In India, Jinchen has been deeply cultivating the local market for many years and has established a powerful team including sales, engineering, project management and after-sales, providing the most timely and high-quality services to local customers in sales & marketing, project management, on-site support, response speed, spare parts, etc.”

He also assured its customers by saying that “in the future, Jinchen will continue to support global clean energy sustainable development with Jinchen’s intelligent manufacturing.”

Earlier in May, Jinchen said that it had won multiple contracts for up to 18 GW capacity of the advanced solar module production line in India during the first half of 2022.

The Chinese equipment manufacturer confirmed that it has received a tremendous response from the Indian market, and many leading solar panel manufacturers in India have already been working with Jinchen for several years.
