Emmvee, a key player in the solar manufacturing industry, has officially opened its latest production facility in Sulibele, located near the Bengaluru International Airport in Karnataka. This expansion adds 2 gigawatt peak (GWp) to the company’s solar module manufacturing capacity, bringing its total output to approximately 6.6 GWp in photovoltaic (PV) modules and 2.5 GWp in solar cells.
Commenting on the launch, D.V. Manjunatha, Chairman and Managing Director of Emmvee, said, “The new plant spans nearly 400,000 square feet and will house over 500 new employees, including core engineers, senior leadership, operations teams, and administrative staff.”
