✅ Reported Environmental Achievements
- More than 1,00,000 units were produced (corresponding to CO2 emission reduction of 97,659 kgs) after the installation of a 120 KW solar power facility connected to a grid in April 2017.
- Reduced the cost of solar cell manufacturing by 8% owing to lower raw material costs, process improvements, enhanced productivity and shop floor energy savings.
- Moderated silver paste use by 15% by refining screen design and enhancing cell efficiency.
- Optimised its inventory of resources such as gas and chemicals by concentrating on regions with reliable availability.
- Achieved a notable 25 MW production during the initial months of commercial production and ramp up through effective supply chain management.
- Installed acidic and general exhaust systems with scrubbers to moderate emissions.
- Established a state-of-the-art water treatment plant
