Frequently Asked Questions
Are Indian solar modules eligible for USA's Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) projects?
Yes — Indian modules qualify for USA utility-scale and C&I projects, and several Indian manufacturers are setting up US assembly to capture the 45X domestic content bonus. Indian modules also qualify for the Section 201 tariff exemption for bifacial modules and are UFLPA-compliant — a major advantage over Chinese/SE-Asian supply.
What certifications do Indian module manufacturers hold?
Standard: IEC 61215 (design qualification), IEC 61730 (safety), IEC 61701 (salt mist), IEC 62716 (ammonia). Market-specific: UL 1703 / UL 61730 (USA), MCS (UK), CEC (Australia), DEWA (UAE), INMETRO (Brazil), JET-PVm (Japan). Top-15 Indian brands appear on the BloombergNEF Tier-1 list.
What is the typical MOQ and lead time?
Standard MOQ: 1 MW (~1,800 modules) per SKU. Lead time 6–10 weeks ex-factory + 25–35 days sea transit to USA East Coast / EU. Smaller container loads (250–500 kW) available at 8–12% premium for residential & C&I distributors.
Can Indian factories supply customised OEM modules?
Yes — most Indian Tier-1 manufacturers offer OEM/private-label modules with custom frame colour, junction box brand, backsheet colour, dimensions and wattage binning from 1 MW MOQ. Lead time: 8–12 weeks including custom certification.
