INOXAP Secures Nitrogen Supply for ReNew's Solar Facility
INOXAP has made a deal with ReNew Photovoltaics to supply special nitrogen for making solar panels.
They will build a new machine in Dholera to make sure the nitrogen is very pure and always available.
This helps India make better solar panels and supports clean energy.
INOXAP already supplies other gases to ReNew’s existing plant and will continue to do so.
The new machine will be ready by the end of next year.
INOXAP has signed a long-term agreement with ReNew Photovoltaics for the supply of ultra-high purity (UHP) nitrogen to its TOPCON solar cell manufacturing facility in Dholera, Ahmedabad.
INOXAP will invest in constructing a state-of-the-art Air Separation Unit (ASU) in Dholera to ensure a reliable supply of UHP Nitrogen.
The ASU is expected to become fully operational by the end of next year.
INOXAP already supplies key electronic gases such as Nitrous Oxide, Ammonia, and Silane to ReNew’s existing Cell Manufacturing Plant based on the PERC technology.
The new ASU will be designed to deliver UHP Nitrogen with exceptional reliability, meeting the exacting quality standards required for high-efficiency solar cell manufacturing.
