RenewSys’ Expands Encapsulant Manufacturing Capacity to 3GW; Next 11GW Expansion in Phased Manner

In line with the government’s Make in India initiative, RenewSys India, the country’s largest photovoltaic (PV) encapsulant and backsheet manufacturer, has commissioned a new encapsulant (EVA and POE) line this month, taking its aggregate manufacturing capacity to 3 GW.

Besides, the Mumbai-headquartered company has also started work for the addition of yet another GW line of encapsulant production, which is expected to ramp up its total capacity to 4 GW. 

Simultaneously, the solar PV cells, modules, encapsulants and backsheets manufacturer is looking to significantly expand its encapsulant production capacity to 11 GW by adding another 8 GW in a phase-wise manner.

Commenting on the development, Avinash Hiranandani, Global CEO and Managing Director of RenewSys, said, “It is an exciting time to be in the solar manufacturing industry in India. More organisations and homeowners are looking to switch to solar now, than ever before. The support of the MNRE and the impetus to the ‘Make in India’ movement has been fuelling the set-up of PV module manufacturing facilities pan India. We welcome all these new businesses and look forward to partnering in their growth journey, by supplying them with world-class PV Encapsulants and Backheets, made right here in India.”

The ENPEE Group company has recently launched a distinctive EVA Encapsulant – CONSERV® Ultra plus (U+). This thermo-proficient Encapsulant reduces the curing time per PV module cycle by 2-3 minutes, increasing the efficiency of the module manufacturing line by 10-20 per cent.

Since its inception in 2011, the company has been a leader in the PV encapsulant and backsheet space, supplying over 15 GW of material and carving a niche for itself in competitive global markets.

The company has to its credit several firsts including – India’s proven and UL certified POE, transparent backsheet, and only backsheet patent.
RenewSys is the first integrated manufacturer of solar PV modules of 1.75 GW capacity and its key components i.e. encapsulants up to 3 GW, Backsheets up to 4 GW, and solar PV cells up to 130 MW.
