Indonesia’s solar capacity reached 1.49 GW in 2025 after adding 546 MW, a growth largely fueled by commercial and industrial (C&I) rooftop installations as businesses seek decarbonization. However, the country missed its revised renewable energy target of 17–19%, achieving only 15.75%, primarily due to significant failures in state utility PLN’s procurement; PLN aimed for 777 MW of new utility-scale solar but delivered far less. With the residential market hampered by the abolition of net metering and utility-scale projects facing execution delays, the 2026 outlook hinges on a new rooftop quota system, which isopening with 485 MW in January, and a massive, albeit developmental, government initiative to deploy 100 GW of solar minigrids.

[SMM PV News] GREW Solar Secures ALMM Approval for 3 GW G12R TOPCon Capacity

GREW Solar has received approval under India’s Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) for 3 GW of manufacturing capacity at its Dudu, Rajasthan facility. The approval covers its G12R bifacial n-type TOPCon modules, which feature efficiencies up to 23.14% and power output ratings of up to 635 W. Inclusion in the ALMM allows these modules to be deployed in government-mandated and open-access projects. The company claims the high-power G12R series can reduce module count by 6-8% per MW, lowering balance-of-system (BOS) costs like cabling and land. GREW plans to expand its total module capacity to 11 GW by late 2026 and is establishing an 8 GW cell facility in Madhya Pradesh.
