RAYZON Solar and UNSW kick off landmark India–Australia collaboration project on TOPCon cells.

RAYZON Solar Limited and the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Australia, kick-started a joint research initiative to study the impact of UV-induced degradation in TOPCon cells and ways to mitigate this risk. This project is a part of the Technology Commercialisation Challenge (TCC) started by the governments of India and Australia in bridging the gap between Innovations and market-ready solutions, especially in the areas of renewable energy and environmental technologies.

This project and partnership were facilitated by Australia’s multidisciplinary research organisation, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO).

As a part of the project, RAYZON was glad to host a distinguished team of Prof Bram Hoex, Prof Michael Nielson and Mr Mark Sterbic from UNSW on 25th Nov for a lab visit as well as a Line visit, followed by a detailed discussion on the scope as well as deliverables of this project with timelines.

This partnership, which started with one project, has tremendous potential for scaling further by putting together UNSW’s research capabilities, CSIRO’s scientific stewardship under Mr Dave, and RAYZON Solar’s robust Lab infrastructure, as well as manufacturing capability. For stakeholders, this translates into more durable, high-performing solar modules meeting global standards, reinforcing RAYZON's reputation.

This initiative follows the broader push announced earlier by Honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and his Australian counterpart Honourable Mr Anthony Albanese, under which Indian manufacturing strength and Australia’s technical expertise unite to accelerate clean-energy innovation.

On a broader scale, this partnership exemplifies how cross-border cooperation can strengthen supply chains, accelerate technology adoption, and support India’s clean-energy ambitions under TCC said Amit Barve, CEO of RAYZON Solar Limited.
