Credence Solar Secures BIS Approval for Solar Modules Up to 745 Wp, Targets ALMM Photograph: (Archive)
Credence Solar Panels Private Limited has received Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) approval for additional crystalline silicon solar photovoltaic (PV) module models, including variants rated up to 745 Wp, as the company prepares for upcoming ALMM inclusion and expansion into integrated solar cell manufacturing.
According to the BIS inclusion document dated May 8, 2026, the approval has been granted under the company’s existing BIS Licence for  “Crystalline Silicon Terrestrial Photovoltaic (PV) Modules (Si wafer based)” in compliance with IS 14286 and associated IEC standards.
The approval includes multiple high-wattage module variants across the company’s CS-HBT, CS-QBT and CS-QU series. While the BIS certification now covers modules up to 745 Wp, the company indicated that commercially available modules currently range up to around 725–730 Wp, with nearly 150 MW capacity already operational for these higher-wattage products.
The company told Saur Energy that that the newly certified products are expected to be included in the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) soon, potentially strengthening the company’s position in India’s utility-scale solar market. Credence Solar currently operates around 2.2 GW module manufacturing capacity at its Rajkot facility in Gujarat. The company is also planning to enter upstream manufacturing with a proposed 2 GW solar cell production line at the same location, targeted for commissioning in the first quarter of 2027.
The company’s manufacturing facility covered under the BIS approval is located at Padadhari in Rajkot district along the Rajkot-Jamnagar Highway. The expansion comes at a time when Indian manufacturers are increasingly moving towards higher-efficiency and higher-wattage module formats amid rising demand from utility-scale solar developers seeking lower balance-of-system costs and improved project economics.
Apart from the domestic market, the company is also understood to be exporting modules to the United States, reflecting the growing international ambitions of Indian solar manufacturers amid ongoing diversification of global solar supply chains away from China.
BIS certification remains mandatory for supplying solar modules in the Indian market and is closely linked with ALMM approvals and participation in government-supported solar projects. The latest approval further reflects the ongoing capacity expansion and technology upgrades underway across India’s domestic solar manufacturing ecosystem.
