China makers whose PV modules may not be able to meet the government's procurement requirement are looking to ship their products to India, which has set a target PV installation of 12GWp for 2016, according to industry sources.
China-based state-run enterprises' PV module procurement for 2016 requires minimum power generation of 260W for a PV module made of 60 crystalline silicon solar cells, increasing by 5W from 2015, the sources said.
India is promoting PV power, but has no comprehensive rules in place to regulate PV power generation in the country. Therefore the technical requirements for PV modules will not be high in 2016, the sources indicated.
China-based Trina Solar has set up annual production lines in India with capacity of 700MWp for solar cells and 500MWp PV modules, the sources said.
