Navitas Solar and Caelux Join Forces to Accelerate India's Renewable Energy Goals

Large-Scale Production Partnership Creates Complete Domestic Pathway for High Efficiency Solar Modules

SURAT, India and BALDWIN PARK, Calif., July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Navitas Solar Private Limited (Navitas Solar), a leading solar module manufacturer in India, and Caelux Corporation (Caelux), a global leader in perovskite solar technology, today announced a milestone commercialization partnership to deliver ultra-high efficiency solar modules that combine both perovskite and silicon solar layers. The five-year, 5 GW partnership will couple Caelux's energy-producing glass tech with Navitas' N-Type TOPCon solar technology, creating Hybrid Tandem modules with industry-leading efficiencies of up to 28%. Bringing domestically produced next-generation modules to the market, this collaboration helps advance India's 2035 60% clean energy goal.

Strengthening India's Clean Energy Leadership

"We are pleased to partner with Navitas Solar, a true visionary dedicated to scaling this important energy technology in India, one of the world's fastest-growing renewable energy markets," said Scott Graybeal, CEO, Caelux Corporation. "By integrating our technology into its module, Navitas Solar is taking the lead in India's ambitious clean energy goals, both in terms of domestic production and deployment. Together, we aim to deliver advanced solar solutions that support India's clean energy transition while strengthening its domestic manufacturing capabilities."

India recently reached over 150 GW of installed solar power making it the third largest country in terms of deployed solar. To continue this trajectory and achieve Prime Minister Modi's pledge of 500 GW of renewable energy by 2030, with solar as the primary driver, the country needs to install 350 GW of renewables in less than four years. By significantly improving the power density compared to silicon-only modules, the new module with the companies' combined technology speeds up the deployment rate for solar power, playing an important role in meeting the country's clean energy objectives.

"As India enters the next phase of its renewable energy journey, the focus must extend beyond capacity expansion to manufacturing globally competitive, high-efficiency technologies within the country," said Ankit Singhania, Co-Founder and Director, Navitas Solar. "Our partnership with Caelux marks an important milestone in that journey. By combining our manufacturing expertise with Caelux's pioneering perovskite technology, we are creating one of India's earliest pathways for large-scale production of Hybrid Tandem solar modules. Crucially, this leap in world-class technology and scale will serve as a powerful engine to fuel the Government of India's ambitious vision of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel power capacity by 2030. This collaboration reinforces our commitment to innovation, market leadership, and self-reliance."

India's Most Integrated Solar Value Chain Meets Next-Generation Efficiency

The partnership unites two of the industry's leaders in solar integration and technology. Navitas Solar brings its vertically integrated multi-gigawatt manufacturing platform, while Caelux adds world-leading perovskite technology. The companies are targeting to have commercial production available by 2028 that meet Approved List of Module Manufacturers (ALMM) eligibility requirements.

"Navitas Solar is living proof that India's energy transition will be won by coupling advanced technology with Indian supply chains, and Indian jobs," said Vish Iyer, Managing Director, India & West Asia, Caelux Corporation. "By integrating Caelux's energy producing glass to create high-efficiency modules, Navitas is helping India leap forward towards its clean energy goals."
