Ahmedabad-based Sahaj Solar Ltd. earns CO-ALMM approval for its advanced N-Type TOPCon solar modules from the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE). This listing enables eligibility for government projects, bolstering domestic manufacturing with high-efficiency panels up to 650 Wp amid India's solar push.
Sahaj Solar, a key player in PV module production, received CO-ALMM (Co-Approved List of Models and Manufacturers) enlistment for TOPCon modules in MNRE's latest ALMM List-I update. Partnered with Rajasthan Electronics & Instruments Ltd. (REIL), the approval covers high-efficiency N-Type TOPCon and bifacial models certified under IS 14286/IEC standards. This step aligns with Atmanirbhar Bharat, restricting non-ALMM imports for schemes like PM Surya Ghar and KUSUM.
