Premier Energies launched India's first zero-busbar (0BB) TOPCon solar cell at Intersolar Gandhinagar. Replacing traditional thick silver busbars with ultra-fine silver lines, the new architecture significantly reduces silver consumption and shading losses while boosting power output, mechanical flexibility, and resistance to micro-cracks. The innovation aligns with the manufacturer's $1.36 billion, three-year expansion plan to double its capacity, integrate backwards into ingot-wafers, and enter the inverter and battery markets.
