Premier Energies, an India-based solar manufacturer headquartered in Hyderabad, has commissioned a 1.2GW TOPCon solar cell line at Fab City. The company said that this new facility has increased its total solar cell manufacturing capacity to 3.2GW with over 25% efficiency. Premier Energies has utilized TOPCon technology with a 16-busbar architecture to enhance power density and energy output. The company is among the early Indian manufacturers to adopt TOPCon technology for large-scale solar cell production. Premier Energies has announced plans to expand its capacity to 8.4GW for cells and 11.1GW for modules by June 2026.
