New Delhi: NLC India Limited has awarded an order to Vikram Solar Limited for the supply of 289.87 MWp of high-efficiency solar photovoltaic (PV) modules for an 810 MW solar power project at the RUVN Solar Park in Pugal, Bikaner, Rajasthan. The order supports the development of large-scale renewable energy infrastructure in the state, which has significant potential for solar power generation.
The contract covers the supply of advanced N-type Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact (TOPCon) solar modules to NLC India Renewables Limited (NIRL), a wholly owned subsidiary of NLC India Limited. The modules are intended for deployment in the utility-scale solar project at the RUVN Solar Park.
The solar modules supplied by Vikram Solar will use N-type TOPCon cell technology, which is designed to improve energy generation efficiency and deliver reliable performance under demanding environmental conditions.
The technology offers several benefits for large-scale solar installations, including:
These features are particularly relevant to western Rajasthan, where intense sunlight and high temperatures create challenging operating conditions for solar power installations.
Located in the Thar region, the RUVN Solar Park is among the major solar developments in the country. The project forms part of Rajasthan’s efforts to harness its abundant solar energy resources and expand renewable power generation capacity.
