The subsidiary <a href=\"https:\/\/connectonline.asic.gov.au\/RegistrySearch\/faces\/landing\/panelSearch.jspx?searchTab=search&amp;searchText=WAAREE+RENEWABLE+ENERGIES&amp;searchType=OrgAndBusNm\"> was incorporated<\/a> on 6th December 2024 and the location of its registered office is in Sydney&#8217;s Parramatta.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s yet to be a press release from the company mentioning it, so past the filing there&#8217;s little information available at this stage exactly what Waaree&#8217;s intentions are. The filing only states that &#8220;this subsidiary will focus on renewable energy business in Australia&#8221; &#8211; and that&#8217;s rather broad.<\/p>\n<h2>More About Warree Energies<\/h2>\n<p>Founded in 1990, <a href=\"https:\/\/waaree.com\/\">Waaree Energies Limited<\/a> has its headquarters in Mumbai. As well as claiming to be India&#8217;s largest solar panel manufacturer (12GW capacity), it also lays claim to having the nation&#8217;s largest aggregate installed capacity of 12 GW as at June 30, 2024. Waaree also offers grid-connect and off-grid inverters. Its manufacturing facilities are located in Chikhli, Surat, Tumb, and Nandigram in Gujara on the country&#8217;s western coast.<\/p>\n<p>The firm also has a new module factory in Brookshire, Texas in the USA. The facility will initially have an annual capacity of 3 gigawatts, with intentions to increase it to 5 GW by the end of 2027. The company had previously shipped panels into the USA, which was its major export destination. Waaree says 5.1+ GW of its modules have been supplied to the US market. In late 2023 when announcing the Texas plant, the company stated it planned to invest up to USD $1 billion over the next four years to scale up its US operations.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, the company manufactures TOPCon, mono PERC, polycrystalline and flexible solar panels. At the time of writing, there are no Waaree panels listed on Australia&#8217;s Clean Energy Council&#8217;s approved modules list, so it may be a while before we see the company&#8217;s products here if it intends to make them available for residential and other installations. CEC approval is required in order for PV modules to be eligible for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/panels\/rebate\/\">Australia&#8217;s solar rebate<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond manufacturing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/panels\/\">solar panels<\/a> and inverters, Waaree is one of India&#8217;s turnkey EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) and O&amp;M (Operations &amp; Maintenance) providers for local C&amp;I and utility-scale projects.<\/p>\n<h2>Make In India, Made In Australia Synergies<\/h2>\n<p>In late November, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi welcomed the launch of the &#8220;elevated&#8221; India-Australia Renewable Energy Partnership, which will see the two countries co-operate in 8 key areas; among which are solar PV (already under way) and solar supply chains. This occurred at the second Australia-India Annual Summit on the sidelines of the G20 Summit in Rio de Janeiro.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pm.gov.au\/media\/2nd-india-australia-annual-summit\"> Prime Ministers noted<\/a> that the countries&#8217; respective \u2018Make in India\u2019 and \u2018Future Made in Australia\u2019 initiatives have &#8220;complementarity and collaborative potential&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>It wouldn&#8217;t be too much of a stretch to suggest Waaree may be considering some sort of involvement in manufacturing here if it can get support under Australia&#8217;s $1 billion <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/solar-sunshot-funding-mb2998\/\">Solar Sunshot initiative<\/a>. There&#8217;s nothing stopping foreign entities taking a crack if it results in a majority Australian-owned joint venture and happens under an Australian entity incorporated under the Corporations Act 2001.<\/p>\n<p>In October, it was revealed Australia&#8217;s SunDrive will lead an application for Sunshot funding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/sundrive-trina-sunshot-mb3029\/\">in a joint venture with China\u2019s Trina Solar<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Other than that and given Australia&#8217;s residential solar panel market is really crowded, there may be opportunities for Waaree to supply Indian-made modules to utility-scale projects throughout the country or execute its own large-scale PV projects here; either on its own or in a joint venture. Much of its current panel line-up is in the utility scale range.<\/p>\n<p>As far as I&#8217;m aware, there are no significant Indian solar panel manufacturers exporting to Australia at this point. The closest that comes to it is REC Group, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/rec-new-energy-solar-mb2189\/\">was acquired<\/a> by India&#8217;s Reliance New Energy Limited back in 2021 &#8211; but REC maintains its headquarters and manufacturing in Singapore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>India&#8217;s Waaree Energies has eyed Australia for a while, and now appears ready to make its move.
