Solar Module Manufacturing – DPR ( Detailed Project Report ) by Solar Experts - Solar Mango

India today has an installed domestic module manufacturing capacity of over 5000 MW. But the demand could become much higher.

With the central government providing an enormous impetus on ‘Make in India’ for Solar, and with an ambitious target of 100 GW of Solar by 2022, prospects are good for solar module manufacturing in India.

For those investors keen on putting up a solar module manufacturing plant, Solar Mango, India’s leading solar power consulting and research firm, can provide a comprehensive, bankable DPR.

Solar Mango strongly believes that DPR is not just a protocol document for the banks and other stakeholders to have it in their files.

Developing a DPR that convinces the relevant stakeholders about the viability of the project in a scientific and justifiable manner could make all the difference between Yes and No for the project.

Who will benefit from our Solar Module Manufacturing DPR?

Large businesses looking to diversify into module & manufacturing
Entrepreneurs/startups keen on venturing into module manufacturing business
Solar businesses keen on vertical integration into a module manufacturer – EPCs, developers, system integrators, component manufacturers, service providers etc.

What is Unique about Solar Mango’s DPR?

Our custom DPR, in addition to providing detailed inputs on the business model, technologies and financials, also includes sections on risks and risk mitigation that clearly spell out areas of uncertainties, and also how the adverse effects of each uncertainty can be mitigated.

Each DPR is specially crafted for the specific investment and includes the latest data and estimates for evaluating the market, technical and economic feasibility of the project. We also factor in the latest in government policies and also incorporate industry perspectives on possible future trends in such policies in regulations.

This combination of exceptional industry knowledge and latest inputs enables us to provide a highly bankable DPR that any financial investor or bank can rely on.

Why Solar Mango?

In the past decade, Solar Mango has provided over 25 Indian businesses with such high quality DPRs – businesses that range from small entrepreneurs putting up 10 MW solar module manufacturing plants to large industrial giants planning to invest in 500-1000 MW module manufacturing lines.
