Technological Advancements

Technological Advancement

Vikram Solar is one of the largest Indian solar module manufacturer with 3.5 GW capacity having strong presence in domestic and international markets. We have a track record of being an early adopter in technology with manufacturing facilities based on global best practices. Furthermore, we are constantly pursuing opportunities and product segments which leverage our existing technology platform and know-how. We also constantly collaborate with leading laboratories worldwide to conduct research study programmes.

Our factories are located at Falta SEZ, Kolkata, West Bengal and at Orgadam in Chennai, Tamil Nadu.
Both our manufacturing units are automated, & our operations at Kolkata are certified under ISO 14001:2015 standard for environment management and the ISO 45001:2018 standard for occupational health and safety management systems implementation. Further, the quality management systems at Kolkata are certified ISO 9001:2015. We have also obtained OHSAS certification addressing the occupational health and safety standard aspects of our business.

We ensure product reliability by following internal reliability test as per IEC 61215 certification and also perform several other tests such as:

Electroluminescence testing, Thermal cycling test, Humidity freeze test, Potential induced degradation test, Light induced degradation, Mechanical load test, Damp heat test

We have also obtained domestic product certification BIS 14286 for all our current products.

UNRAVELLING A FUTURE OF POSSIBILITIES

With quality at the core of our ethos, our modules undergo real-world simulated tests like thermal cycling, Potential Induced Degradation, Light Induced Degradation, damp heat, Ultraviolet exposure and degradation. Our processes are optimized through practice of lean manufacturing and Six Sigma methods.

We, at Vikram Solar are focusing on converging digital technologies with manufacturing operations. With artificial intelligence, cognitive modelling, machine learning, deep learning, virtual reality, augmented reality and robotic process automation, our R&D team has leveraged digitization initiatives that allow seamless processes, such as lean manufacturing, reducing and regulating wastage.

Efficiency Progression

Our strategy is to be a “fast follower,” which entails adopting new, promising and proven technologies early. We achieve this through the continued development of innovative products, which enables us to expand our product portfolio and drive increased product orders going forward. This can be evidenced by the constant improvements of module wattages and efficiencies since 2009, as illustrated.
