India’s solar energy journey has entered a new and one of the most exciting and defining phases. What once began as a cost-driven shift towards renewable energy has now evolved into a technology-led transformation that is reshaping how the country generates, stores, and consumes electricity.
From selling the solar products on e-commerce and partnering with Enphase Energy to finally selling our own advanced technology PV modules, batteries, and solar inverters, all this would not have been possible if, in 2018, my brother Amol and I (Amod) hadn’t just left our corporate careers to start a solar company out in Faridabad, Haryana. People thought we were chasing after unrealistic dreams. But what we really saw was something that would take the rest of the country a few years to appreciate: India was on the verge of becoming one of the biggest solar markets in the world, driven not by demand but by necessity.
And today, those instincts have been true beyond our thinking. When we founded Loom Solar, India had roughly 26 GW of solar installed. But today, solar alone has contributed 55% of the total renewable energy capacity in India. In FY 2025-26, India added approximately 45 GW of solar capacity. The first quarter of 2026 has added 14.45 GW of solar capacity, marking an 85.7% YOY increase, with March alone contributing a record of 6.65 GW. Numbers like these don't happen just by accident. They are the result of sustained policy intent like PM Surya Ghar Yojana, PM Kusum Yojana, and the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes. The government has made it clear that clean energy is the center of the nation’s identity.
While policy and capacity additions have laid the foundation for the solar industry, what stands out today is not how much we install but how efficiently we generate. The real shift is now being driven by technology.
The defining technologies of this moment are TOPCon, HJT, and N-type modules, which have become the industry standard for high-efficiency modules. These technologies are leading the transition, enabling significantly higher efficiency and relatively better real-world output.
When Amol and I (Amod) started this company, the intention was clear from the start: to make advanced solar technology accessible across all of India. From farmers in Uttar Pradesh to shopkeepers in tier-3 towns. That mission has shaped every single decision we've made so far.
Our vision of becoming India’s most popular and trusted solar brand is not measured by sheer volume but by being the most trusted and chosen among customers.
Since 2018, Loom Solar has scaled rapidly, expanding from a small startup to a nationally recognized global brand. That growth is not just a financial metric but a reflection of hundreds of thousands of customers who chose Loom Solar over other organizations and let us deliver.
Now, as this industry grows, Loom Solar has taken the initiative to introduce a new Loom back-contact technology, designed to set a new benchmark for solar panel efficiency in the market while taking up less space for generating the same amount of electricity.
Just like that, the next decade will not be defined by who installs the most solar panels but by who delivers the most efficient and intelligent energy system.
And that is the future we are working towards.
Amod, Director-Loom Solar
