Aroma Solar has commenced operations at a 1.2 GW TOPCon solar module manufacturing facility in Karnal, Haryana. Billed as northern India's first fully automated, AI-driven production line, the plant produces 620 W to 635 W modules with up to 23.51% efficiency. Utilizing robotic automation and AI for quality control, the facility aims to minimize defects and enhance long-term performance. Moving forward, Aroma Solar plans to further expand capacity and is evaluating entry into solar cell and wafer production to increase vertical integration.

[SMM PV] PV-grade EVA prices fell, cost side disturbed by geopolitical tensions, uncertainty remains

EVA prices have recently fluctuated and pulled back, mainly under the dual pressure of weakening crude oil dragging down costs and sluggish downstream procurement demand. Although the US and Iran are in the negotiation phase, on May 8 local time, US forces again struck two Iranian tankers. The Iranian military warned that if the US continues to interfere with Iranian vessels in the relevant areas, the conflict risks escalating again. With recurring geopolitical maneuvering in the Middle East, the risk of crude oil price fluctuations remains high and the trend carries significant uncertainty, making changes on the EVA cost side still difficult to predict, and wait-and-see sentiment in the market is strong.
