Solar Manufacturing continues to evolve in India as companies focus not only on expanding production capacity but also on improving the materials that determine the long-term performance and reliability of photovoltaic (PV) modules. Reflecting this shift, RenewSys India Pvt. Ltd. hosted the second edition of Anusandhan 2026 – India’s PV Encapsulants & Backsheets Technology Conclave on 17th July in New Delhi, bringing together industry leaders to discuss the future of solar manufacturing and unveil new material innovations.
Held at Crowne Plaza, Mayur Vihar, the conclave attracted leading solar module manufacturers, EPC companies, technology experts and other stakeholders from across the renewable energy sector. The event served as a platform for technical discussions on photovoltaic materials, module reliability and manufacturing technologies that are shaping the next generation of solar modules.
Industry Collaboration Driving Solar Manufacturing
As India strengthens its position as a global solar manufacturing hub, collaboration across the value chain is becoming increasingly important. Events such as Anusandhan provide manufacturers, researchers and technology experts with an opportunity to exchange ideas on improving module performance, durability and production efficiency through advanced materials.
The conclave focused on how innovation in encapsulants, backsheets and other critical Bill of Materials (BOM) components can contribute to more reliable and longer-lasting solar modules.

RenewSys Introduces Two New PV Material Solutions
One of the major highlights of the event was the launch of two additions to RenewSys’ advanced photovoltaic materials portfolio.
The company introduced PRESERV 300 TF USB, an ultra-low Water Vapour Transmission Rate (WVTR) backsheet designed for Glass-to-Backsheet (G2BS) solar modules. With a WVTR of approximately 0.01 g/m²/day, the product is designed to provide enhanced moisture protection while offering a lighter alternative to conventional Glass-to-Glass module construction.
RenewSys also unveiled CONSERV EPE ACE, a next-generation encapsulant featuring Anti-Acid Grafted EVA technology. The material has been developed to improve long-term module stability while helping manufacturers optimize production costs without compromising module performance.
The Role of PV Materials in Modern Solar Manufacturing
While solar cells often receive the most attention, the materials used to encapsulate and protect them play an equally important role in determining module performance over its lifetime. Advanced encapsulants and backsheets help protect solar modules against moisture, heat, ultraviolet radiation and environmental degradation. Improvements in these materials can enhance energy generation, extend operational life and reduce maintenance requirements, making them a critical component of modern photovoltaic systems.
Technical Sessions Focus on Module Reliability
The conclave featured a series of technical presentations covering several aspects of solar manufacturing, including:
- The impact of Bill of Materials (BOM) selection on module reliability
- Advances in encapsulant and backsheet technologies
- Emerging material innovations for high-efficiency solar modules
- Manufacturing trends supporting next-generation photovoltaic technologies
These discussions highlighted the growing importance of material science in improving module efficiency, durability and long-term performance.

Industry Leaders Share Their Vision
Speaking at the event, Avinash Hiranandani, Vice Chairman and Managing Director of RenewSys India Pvt. Ltd. said: “India’s solar manufacturing industry is evolving rapidly, and collaboration will be critical to sustaining this growth. Through this meet, we have created a platform where the industry can exchange ideas, discuss emerging technologies and collectively advance photovoltaic manufacturing.
The launch of PRESERV 300 TF USB and CONSERV EPE ACE reflects our continued commitment to developing innovative materials that enhance module performance and reliability.”
Mr. Rajesh Singh, Chief Executive Officer – Encapsulants & Backsheets, RenewSys India Pvt. Ltd. added: “Every innovation we develop is driven by the evolving needs of module manufacturers. PRESERV 300 TF USB addresses the demand for advanced moisture barrier solutions, while CONSERV EPE ACE delivers an optimal balance of performance, durability and cost efficiency. Together, these products strengthen our portfolio of high-performance PV materials.”
Strengthening India’s Solar Manufacturing Ecosystem
The event concluded with interactive technical discussions and networking sessions involving manufacturers, technology providers and industry experts. Building on the success of its inaugural edition, Anusandhan is steadily emerging as an important platform for knowledge sharing, technological collaboration and innovation within India’s photovoltaic industry.
As India continues to expand its domestic solar manufacturing capabilities, advancements in PV materials are expected to play an increasingly significant role in improving module quality, reliability and global competitiveness.
