The Indian Solar industry marches towards self-reliance with MNRE’s (Ministry of New and Renewable Energy) mandatory ALMM approval for the Solar Panel manufacturers.  The ALMM norm is bound to set the benchmark for Indian solar cells and modules. Consequently,  limiting the manufacturers’ reliability on imports.

But first things first, what is ALMM? Why is it important to look for ALMM approved solar panels only?

What is ALMM?

ALMM expands as an Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM). It is a list of eligible Indian manufacturers who produce standardised Solar cells, and  PV modules.  The enlisted (ALMM approved) manufacturers undergo stringent inspections and audits to get approved by the government to gain  open access net-metering projects. 

Benefits of ALMM Approved Solar Panels

The objective behind introducing Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) is to allow the domestic solar manufacturers to dominate the Indian solar industry.  Further to limit their dependency on the imports from various countries.  It is also MNRE’s strategic move to ensure the quality of made in India manufactured products. The ALMM approved Solar Panel manufacturers are bound to set quality benchmarks for PV modules and eliminate the low-quality Chinese manufacturers. 

How will ALMM impact the Indian Solar Industry?

The ALMM will become mandatory from from 1st October 2022. Once in effect, it will bring revolution in  the Indian Solar Industry.  Most importantly, only the BIS Certified and  ALMM approved Solar Panel Manufacturers will be eligible to gain Open Access and Net Metering Projects. It is also observed that, ALMM might become the primary eligibility criteria to participate in the government schemes and programmes introduced in the country. 

The stakeholders also hope that the implementation of ALMM will pave the way for small-scale manufacturers and  the  quality of photovoltaic products will exponentially improve production  in long-lasting products resulting in lower-tariffs. 

Thus, proper implementation of ALMM will be extremely helpful in building consumer trust in the domestic products and generate revenue for the country without any import.
