Q.How does your company distinguish itself from others in the solar energy sector, and what are its core vision and objectives?

ASOT SOLAR distinguishes itself through a commitment to innovation and the highest standards of quality in solar module manufacturing. With our extensive experience in the EPC space, we recognized a significant gap in the solar module supply chain, which prompted us to enter manufacturing. Our core vision is to ensure that solar energy becomes accessible and affordable while maintaining superior product quality. We aim to contribute to India’s sustainable energy goals by building a strong, reliable supply chain for solar modules and providing comprehensive energy solutions tailored to the needs of our clients.

 

Q.What are the recent technological advancements or innovations begun by the company that are leading to its success?

One of our key innovations has been the establishment of a state-of-the-art solar module manufacturing facility. we identified the supply chain issues of EPC Players and project developers and ASOT SOLAR will be address that, ensuring that we can offer 16BB TOPCon Modules with minimal lead times. Additionally, we are incorporating advanced automation and quality control processes to enhance the performance and reliability of our modules. This investment in cuttingedge technology positions us to meet growing demand while staying ahead of industry standards.

 

Q.Which markets or regions is your company primarily targeting, and what are the expected prospects in those areas?

ASOT SOLAR are primarily focused on India, particularly in solar-rich regions such as Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Rajasthan, which have a high demand for renewable energy solutions.

Q.What challenges is the solar energy sector facing today, and what strategies is your company implementing to overcome them?

The solar sector faces several challenges, including fluctuating policies, supply chain disruptions, and the rising cost of raw materials. One of the main reasons we entered module manufacturing was to address the lack of a reliable supply chain, which had impacted to many EPC players and Project developers. By establishing manufacturing facility, we have greater control over the quality, pricing, and availability of modules to meet the demand of EPC. We are also actively working with policymakers to encourage stable regulations and providing financing options to help clients invest in solar energy more easily.
