From rooftops to deserts across the globe, Adani Solar’s 15,000MW milestone marks India’s growing solar dominance, driving the nation’s clean energy ambitions.
Adani Solar has achieved a milestone by shipping more than 15,000 megawatts (MW) of solar modules across India and international markets. According to a report by the PTI, this makes them the first and fastest Indian manufacturer to do so.
Of the total shipments, 10,000MW were installed within India and 5000MW exported overseas. This equals around 28 million modules spread across an area equivalent to the size of 7500 football fields.
Company officials stated that approximately 70 per cent of these modules were manufactured using Adani’s India-made solar cells, thereby advancing the Make in India and Aatmanirbhar Bharat missions.
Adani Solar plans to expand its manufacturing capacity from 4000MW to 10,000MW by the next financial year and aims to dispatch an additional 15,000MW of modules in the coming years.
The firm is currently the only Indian company listed among the world’s top 10 solar module manufacturers, according to research firm Wood Mackenzie.
Wood Mackenzie’s latest report projects that India’s solar module capacity will exceed 125 gigawatts (GW) by 2025, more than triple the nation’s estimated demand of 40GW. It also noted India’s growing potential to challenge China’s dominance in the global solar supply chain.
Adani Solar reportedly operates India’s largest solar distribution network, with a presence in over 550 districts and 35 exclusive channel partners. The company said its shipments have powered nearly five million homes, created 2500 green jobs and helped avoid 60 million tonnes of carbon emissions annually.
The company also leads the rooftop solar market, supplying 1.78 GW of modules last year and contributing over half of the capacity for the government’s Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana. With India already sourcing over 50 per cent of its electricity from non-fossil fuels, Adani Solar, as one of the market players, continues to play a key role in the nation’s clean energy transition.
