ET Solar Group Supplies Solar Modules for Punjab Project

ET Solar Group Corp. in set to supply 1 MW in solar photovoltaic panels for solar development in northern India. The solar project will be installed in Punjab, India and will be one of the largest solar farms connected to India’s state-owned electric grid. The first wave of solar modules were shipped in July and a second wave is already scheduled.

Punjab is India’s first state to be granted projects on a MW scale. The Indian government is currently implementing their 11th five year plan for renewable energy, which will see the nation get 20% of its electricity from renewable energy by 2020. 10 GW of that 20% are expected to be solar power, including PV and solar thermal technology. 

“India has a very ambitious plan for the development of renewable energy, especially solar energy. We see a great growth potential in this burgeoning market thanks to the government’s strong resolution to be a world leader to fight global warming and the very attractive radiation conditions in the geography. We are very pleased to play a very contributive role on the country’s way to becoming one of the largest clean energy users in the world,” said Dennis She, vice president and global sales officer at ET Solar.

ET Solar Group Corp. will provide all the solar modules for the Punjab project. Punjab is the first state in India to implement the plan aimed at giving India more opportunities for renewable energy generated from solar power. The company has already delivered half of the supply in July, and the rest of the modules are expected to be shipped soon. India hopes generate 20% of their electricity from sustainable energy by 2020.
