        Webdyn, a French company, launched two main innovative products in India to help with the smart collection of data : WebdynSun & WebdynModbus . The company is a European leader in the supply of multi-protocols concentrators and sensors that cover applications of teleservice and monitoring.

        Vikram Solar Pvt. Ltd. showcased the Solar Tracker device that can increase energy generation by following the Sun’s direction during the day.

        Rays Power Infra. Ltd. launched their rooftop residential business line

        Canadian solar energy Pvt. Ltd. showcased 5 busbar modules,  Mono PERC modules, double glass modules and 1500 V modules

        SMA Solar India Pvt. Ltd. showcased Zeversolar- rooftop solution

        DuPont highlighted products including DuPont™ Solamet® photovoltaic metallization that helps in significantly increasing the efficiency of solar cells and the power output of solar panels. The second product highlighted was DuPont™ Tedlar® polyvinyl fluoride films – the only backsheet material proven to protect solar panels for more than 30 years even in extreme climactic conditions.

        Mundra Solar PV Ltd. displayed advanced technologies such as High Efficiency, Multi Crystalline silicon solar cell, Mono PERC Technology, Module Level Power Technology along with high-end Inverters, AC Solar Modules and Bifacial Technology at the event

        RelyOn Solar announced a partnership deal with MiaSolé for sales and marketing of its Next Generation, Flexible, Ultra-light Solar Technology and will represent MiaSolé for the India and South Asia markets

        Waaree Energies Ltd, a solar photovoltaic module manufacturer  launched the new 1500V System Voltage crystalline solar module. The module comes packed with a whole lot of inherent advantages which are absent in 1000 V modules. Certain key ones include the lowering of balance of system costs as high voltage systems allow larger number of modules to be connected in a single string, reducing the number of combiner boxes, shorter runs of wiring, trenching, labour and DC breakers, all of which create reduced efficacy in the system.

        Renesola launched their high frequency modules, based on PRC technology, and double glass-based modules that are expected to be available in the market from 2017

        SOLARGISE displayed and demonstrated their latest technology with new modules for the first time in public. The production of the new module which has less glass and more of plating is expected to commence soon.
