Vikram Solar, a Kolkata based PV module manufacturer, has unveiled the Suryava high-performance bifacial module based on heterojunction technology (HJT).
“Inspired by the Sanskrit word ‘Surya’, SURYAVA encapsulates the essence of solar energy symbolizing the warmth, radiance and life-giving power of the sun, promising a new era of sustainable energy solutions,” stated Vikram Solar.
Unlike traditional solar cells, HJT comprises both crystalline and amorphous silicon layers, creating a synergistic effect that boosts energy generation. “This innovative approach allows Suryava, a 20-busbar module to achieve efficiency levels exceeding 23% with G12 cells, delivering superior performance and durability compared to conventional solar modules,” stated the manufacturer.
Suryava is claimed to offer an extended lifespan, superior power output, enhanced safety, exceptional low-light performance, zero negative power tolerance, along with bi-faciality for optimized yield and long-term performance.
Gyanesh Chaudhary, chairman and managing director, Vikram Solar, said, “Suryava’s performance metrics, developed in our NABL-accredited R&D lab—including lower degradation, enhanced weather resistance and superior efficiency—is expected to position it as an industry leader. We are confident that Suryava will be a game-changer and will contribute in achieving India’s and the world’s solar energy goals.”
Headquartered in Kolkata, West Bengal, Vikram Solar is one of the largest PV module manufacturers in India with cumulative production capacity of 3.5 GW as of March 31, 2024. It is rated ‘Top Performer’ in PVEL’s PV module reliability scorecard and has been included in the Tier 1 solar PV modules manufacturer list of BloombergNEF.
