Solar Industry license
What is a Solar Manufacturing License?
A solar manufacturing license is required by any company or entrepreneur planning to establish a facility for producing solar cells, modules, or related components such as wafers, glass, frames, and mounting structures. It is also mandatory for units involved in processes like chemical coating, lamination, or metal treatment used in solar equipment manufacturing. Whether setting up a new plant, expanding an existing facility, or supplying to government and large-scale solar projects, obtaining the license ensures compliance with statutory norms and eligibility for certifications like PESO, BIS and IEC.
Why does a solar manufacturing plant need a PESO license?
Solar manufacturing involves the use of toxic and flammable gases like silane, phosphine, and hydrogen during cell processing and coating. A PESO license ensures these gases are stored, handled, and transported safely as per national safety standards.
At Petrosives, we offer end-to-end consultancy for all types of Solar Industry Licenses required to set up & operate solar cell manufacturing.
Who Needs a Solar Industry License?
Industries involved in processes that use or store toxic and flammable gases are legally required to obtain PESO licenses to ensure safe operations. These include sectors such as solar cell and semiconductor manufacturing, where Specialty gases are used in processing
Documents Required for Solar Industry License
Setting up a solar module or cell manufacturing unit in India requires multiple regulatory approvals to ensure compliance with safety, quality, and environmental standards. Key licenses include Factory Act registration, State Pollution Control Board consent to establish and operate, Fire Department NOC, and approvals under labor and industrial safety laws. Units engaged in cell processing or chemical handling may also require PESO permissions and additional environmental clearances. Since solar manufacturing is a precision-driven and capital-intensive industry, timely licensing is critical to avoid project delays and to meet BIS/IEC quality certifications. We provide complete assistance in securing all required licenses and approvals for solar manufacturing plants, helping you establish your facility in full compliance with national regulations.
