Sunora Solar To Foray Into BESS Manufacturing With Its 3 GW Plant In Surat Photograph: (Archive)
Gujarat-based solar manufacturing company Sonora Solar is set to launch a battery energy storage system (BESS) manufacturing facility in Surat within the next three to four months, as the company expands beyond modules and inverters to address rising demand for energy storage driven by grid fluctuations and distributed energy needs. The top leadership of the company in an interview with Saur Energy talked about its expansion plans. 
The proposed BESS facility, with a planned capacity of around 3 GW, has already secured land and completed initial construction planning, according to company representative Piyush. The move marks Sonora Solar’s entry into the fast-growing storage segment, where demand is increasing across residential, commercial and grid-scale applications.
In parallel, the company is also planning a 2 GW solar cell manufacturing line near Surat, Gujarat. The project is currently in its initial phase, with land acquisition completed and design work underway. Commercial production is expected to begin within a year, around February next year.
Sonora Solar currently operates a solar module manufacturing capacity of about 2 GW. The firm is targeting a scale-up to 3 GW of module manufacturing capacity in the near term. Its module portfolio includes high-efficiency products in the 600 W range, based on advanced cell technologies.
The company has also expanded its inverter business, offering both on-grid and hybrid solutions. Its product range has grown from 1–110 kW to up to 350 kW, with options across single-phase and three-phase configurations. In addition, Sonora Solar has introduced lithium-ion battery solutions for residential and commercial energy storage applications.
On the technology front, the firm said the market is gradually shifting toward higher-wattage, larger-format G12R modules, as developers look to optimise project costs. Larger modules enable higher power output per unit, reducing balance-of-system costs such as structures, cabling and installation.
Despite perceptions of a softer market, the company said demand remains resilient for quality-driven products, with performance expected to remain strong into the next year as it consolidates its position in the module manufacturing segment.
