Tata Power Solar has 125MW of module and 84MW of active cell manufacturing capacity; an additional 96MW of cell capacity is available for rapid ramp in coming year.

Over its 22 year history, Tata Power Solar has shipped more than 500MW of high quality modules across the globe to the US, Europe, Asia and Australia under the BP Solar relationship. The company maintains the same superior quality of modules in its domestic and overseas markets, at a cost and quality competitive with the best in the world.

In addition, with the launch of the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM), Tata Power Solar has been growing rapidly in its projects and systems business as well. Tata Power Solar provides world-class EPC services to solar power project developers, customised solar solutions to large industrial customers and low-cost products and systems for rural and residential market via its dealer network.

Tata Power Solar plans to aggressively invest in new product development that will expand its product portfolio and facilitate entry into new markets.
