Company Overview

Incorporated in April 1995 as “Premier Solar Systems Pvt.

The company underwent a name change to “Premier Energies Ltd” in September 2019 following its conversion to a public limited company. With over 29 years of experience in the solar industry, Premier Energies is a significant player in the sector, offering a range of solar products and services.

The company provides Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) solutions and Operations & Maintenance (O&M) services related to the EPC projects it executes. Additionally, the company operates as an independent power producer and offers various solar-related products.

As of July 31, 2024, the company had an order book totalling ₹5,926.56 crore.

This strong order book underscores Premier Energies’ robust position in the solar manufacturing industry.

The company operates five manufacturing units, all located in Hyderabad, Telangana, India. These facilities boast an annual installed capacity of 2 GW for solar cells and 4.13 GW for solar modules as of March 31, 2024. The company’s history of production milestones includes the establishment of a 75 MW capacity solar cell manufacturing line in 2011 and subsequent expansions in 2021 and 2022. Premier Energies also transitioned from polycrystalline solar cells to monocrystalline PERC solar cells in 2022 and plans to introduce TOPCon solar cell technology with a new 1,000 MW production line by 2025.

Market Presence and Export

Premier Energies has a diverse customer base, serving several Independent Power Producers (IPPs), Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), and off-grid operators. The company’s clients include NTPC, TATA Power Solar Systems, Panasonic Life Solutions, and others.
