POWERTRAC robotic manufacturing boosts capacity to 1.2 GW

Advanced grounding technologies like Powertrac rods and SRIP Compound enhance efficiency, while portable earthing systems aid temporary, emergency applications.

Deepak Londhe, Business Development Head- Powertrac

Powertrac is at the forefront of earthing solutions. It also manufactures solar panels, contributing to renewable goals. Deepak Londhe speaks of the company’s goals and innovations with EPR Magazine.

How will POWERTRAC’s robotic manufacturing impact ‘Vikisit Bharat’ goals?

POWERTRAC has introduced fully ROBOTIC manufacturing facilities in Gujarat, a significant jump from the current capacity to 1.2 GW. The Viksit Bharat initiative aims to transform India into a developed nation by 2047, focusing strongly on sustainable energy sources like solar power. POWERTRAC has set ambitious targets to increase solar power generation and reduce dependence on fossil fuels.

POWERTRAC promotes rooftop solar installations, especially in residential areas, to reduce energy bills and increase self-sufficiency. We aim to become a global hub for solar equipment manufacturing, reducing reliance on imports and creating jobs by Encouraging solar manufacturing. POWERTRAC has developed over 400MW large solar parks to generate clean energy and reduce carbon emissions. These goals are part of India’s larger vision to achieve energy independence and become a developed nation by 2047—increasing solar power capacity to 300GW by 2030.

How do recent solar technology advancements improve panels’ efficiency and durability?

Recent advancements in solar technology have significantly improved efficiency in several ways. Bifacial solar cells, which can absorb light from both sides, increase energy output by up to 25%, while dual-sided absorption further enhances energy yield. Half-cell technology, which divides solar cells into smaller units, improves efficiency and reduces heat loss. Passivated Emitter and Rear Cell (PERC) technology minimises energy loss, boosting efficiency. Advanced coatings and new silicon technologies also enhance light absorption and cell performance. Integrated power electronics and smart panels optimise output and enable real-time monitoring, while improved durability and longer warranties ensure greater reliability and extended lifespan.

How do you ensure optimal Earthing system design and compliance with safety standards?

The Earthing system domain encompasses various aspects: Earthing, Ensuring the safe and efficient transfer of electrical currents to the earth and designing and implementing effective grounding systems for electrical safety.

Protecting structures and people from lightning strikes, measuring the resistance of the earth to ensure safe Earthing, analysing soil properties to determine optimal Earthing solutions, developing and selecting materials for Earthing electrodes and systems, and preventing corrosion of Earthing systems and associated infrastructure.

Ensuring compliance with international and local safety standards and designing Earthing systems for various industrial, commercial, and residential applications. Regular maintenance and testing are needed to ensure the earthing system’s integrity and performance.

What plans do you have to promote your solar products and expand your market presence?

We already plan to promote solar products and expand our market presence by utilising subsidies and tax breaks to make solar products more attractive. To increase reach, we will form new partnerships and open service centres. We will also introduce innovative solar technologies and customised solutions. We will run targeted campaigns and educational outreach to highlight benefits and incentives. We will improve customer service and provide training for local installers. We will stay informed about policies and advocate for additional support.
