Equipping a new supply chain
With oversupply and policy uncertainty putting the brakes on solar manufacturing expansion across most of the world, India is now the only active market for many PV manufacturing equipment suppliers concentrated in China. pv magazine spoke with Inderjit Singh, founder and managing director of Indygreen Technologies, a New Delhi-based company that operates as a bridge between Indian manufacturers looking to scale up their operations and equipment suppliers which currently have few other markets to serve.
India’s changing cell import policy
India has rapidly emerged as one of the world’s most prominent PV markets, driven by policy support and rising domestic electricity demand, with solar becoming the core of its energy transition. InfoLink Consulting’s Jonathan Chou examines the adjustments and localization process of India’s PV industry by analyzing import data for cells and modules.
pv magazine Awards: Sustainability
There is more to sustainability than clean power. Environmental concerns extend across the solar and storage industry, from sourcing raw materials to end-of-life treatment. Investors, planning departments and local communities increasingly want to know the full impact of new projects.
Thankfully, pioneers from across the industry have made great strides in bolstering the sustainability credentials of solar and storage. These efforts should be recognized, which is why the pv magazine Award for Sustainability celebrates businesses, organizations and individuals who have taken concrete steps to support a green transition.
In the balance
Already, 2025 is turning out to be the year in which energy storage takes a front seat ahead of solar and related matters, in our minds if not yet in installation figures.
Bankrolling C&I solar deployment

However, this progress could be undermined if more focus is not placed on the integration of renewables. Rystad Energy analyst Uttamarani Pati examines India’s progress on storage and transmission upgrades.
Layering potential
Germany’s M10 Industries AG and Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE) first presented their shingled cell matrix technology in 2021. A few months later, M10 teamed up with Zahoransky AG, an automation equipment supplier. Their joint venture M10 Solar Equipment aims to industrialize shingle matrix technology for the mass market. To find out more about market prospects for this technology, pv magazine spoke to M10’s technology and sales manager, Nils Klasen.
