A Global Validation of GautamSolar’s N-Type TOPCon Module Quality and Manufacturing Excellence
Gautam Solar Pvt. Ltd. today announced that it has been recognised as a Top Performer in the 2026 Kiwa PVEL PV Module Reliability Scorecard — the 12th edition of the global solar industry’s most trusted independent benchmark for photovoltaic module reliability. Gautam Solar achieved Top Performer status for its N-Type TOPCon bifacial glass//glass G2G1785 module series, manufactured at its facility.
Award Details
Award: 2026 Kiwa PVEL PV Module Reliability Scorecard — Top Performer
Edition: 12th Edition, Published 27 May 2026
Product Line: G2G1785 Series — N-Type TOPCon Bifacial glass//glassModule
Significance
The Kiwa PVEL Scorecard is the most widely referenced independent module quality benchmark in global solar, viewed by over 100,000 unique visitors across past editions and directly supporting gigawatts of global solar procurement. Top Performer status is not self-certified — it is earned through independently witnessed laboratory testing under rigorously controlled conditions, with no scope for hand-picked sample bias.
Earning Top Performer recognition places Gautam Solar among a select global cohort of manufacturers whose modules have been independently verified to meet the world’s highest reliability and performance standards. Each category carries strict, non-negotiable criteria covering structural durability, moisture resistance, electrical integrity, and real-world energy yield performance — the metrics that ultimately determine project returns across a 25 to 30-year asset life. For developers, lenders, and investors, this recognition is independent, data-driven assurance that Gautam Solar’s modules are built to perform across the full operational life of every project they power.
Technical Strength
This recognition reflects Gautam Solar’s sustained investment in advanced module technology and manufacturing excellence:
- N-Type TOPCon cell technology with inherent LID resistance and a -0.29%/°C temperature coefficient
- Patented AI-assisted EL testing at pre- and post-lamination stages for defect-free production
- 30+ in-line automated quality checks across fully integrated manufacturing lines
- In-house Reliability Testing Laboratory for continuous accelerated lifetime validation
- Full certifications: ALMM (MNRE), BIS, IEC 61215 & 61730, UL, CE, and CEC Approved
Market Impact
For international developers and EPC contractors, the Kiwa PVEL Scorecard is a primary module qualification standard across Europe, the United States, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. Top Performer status strengthens Gautam Solar’s export credibility and opens procurement conversations with global buyers who require this validation as a minimum bar.
For institutional investors and lenders, top-quartile energy yield — directly supports project bankability and long-term revenue modelling. For utility-scale developers,These test results reduce technical risk in insurance underwriting and O&M performance projections across the full project lifecycle.
Statement from Leadership
“Receiving Top Performer recognition from Kiwa PVEL is a proud milestone for Gautam Solar. This globally recognized, independently verified achievement confirms that our N-Type TOPCon modules meet the industry’s highest standards for quality, reliability, and long-term performance.
Backed by 29+ years of solar manufacturing excellence built on trust, innovation, and performance, this recognition reinforces the confidence that developers, investors, EPCs, and partners place in Gautam Solar.
We remain committed to continuous investment in advanced technology and quality manufacturing as we strengthen our position as one of India’s most trusted solar manufacturing partners and expand our presence on the global stage.”
— Mr. GautamMohanka, Director, Gautam Solar Pvt. Ltd.
“We congratulate Gautam Solar on achieving Top Performer status in the 2026 Kiwa PVEL PV Module Reliability Scorecard. Earning Top Performer recognition is a significant achievement that reflects genuine manufacturing discipline and a serious commitment to long-term module quality. The Scorecard exists to give developers, investors, and procurement teams the independent, data-driven confidence they need to make better sourcing decisions. Gautam Solar’s results demonstrate that their N-Type TOPCon modules are built to perform — not just at commissioning, but across the full operational life of the projects they power.”
