From Scale to Sustainability: Solar Supply Chains for the Global South
At
#InterSolar2026 in Gandhinagar, we convened a high‑level closed‑door roundtable on “Strengthening the Solar Manufacturing Ecosystem: From Scale to Sustainability.”
The message was clear: diversification isn’t optional, it’s mission‑critical for a resilient, affordable, and secure solar future.
What stood out?
🔸 Resilience through diversification: Concentrated manufacturing = concentrated risk. We need regional, integrated value chains to keep the energy transition on track for the
#GlobalSouth.
🔸 India’s pivotal role: With strong demand,
#policysupport, and a fast‑evolving manufacturing base, India can anchor joint ventures and advanced PV manufacturing that serve global markets.
🔸 Europe–India collaboration: Participants spotlighted
#technology transfer, strengthening upscaling manufacturing, standards alignment, and next‑gen equipment as levers for long term viability and scale.
🔸 Innovation & circularity: From emerging PV tech to ISA’s recycling frameworks through SUNRISE and harmonised standards,
#sustainability must be integrated into the supply chain.
🔸 Market creation matters: Affordable finance, Quality assurance, demand aggregation, and lowering system costs through
#partnerships are key to unlocking adoption across the Global South.
Grateful to our speakers, private‑sector leaders, and partners, including the co-organizers
@IndoGerman,
@IGEFSO, the India Germany Platform for Investments in Renewable Energy Worldwide, and the German Technical Cooperation Project ‘Achieve India’s RE Targets’, for a candid, solutions‑first dialogue.
Thanks to Economic Affairs Minister Counsellor,
@GermanyinIndia, New Delhi, Dr Stephan Hesselmann for joining the event as Special Guest.
What’s next?
🔸 This dialogue continues at Intersolar (Europe, June 2026) as we convert today’s insights into actionable pathways for diversified, future‑ready solar value chains.
Let’s build a solar manufacturing ecosystem that’s resilient, sustainable, and inclusive.
