India’s Solar PV Manufacturing PLI Scheme: Driving Demand for EVA Solar Encapsulation Extrusion Lines

India is accelerating domestic solar PV manufacturing through the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for High Efficiency Solar PV Modules. With an overall outlay of ₹24,000 crore, the scheme provides incentives to selected manufacturers for five years after commissioning, supporting investment in high-efficiency solar cell and module manufacturing.

This manufacturing push is creating opportunities across the solar value chain, including EVA solar encapsulant film production. EVA and POE encapsulant film are essential components of photovoltaic modules, helping protect solar cells and support long-term module performance.

How the PLI Scheme Is Shaping Solar Manufacturing

The PLI programme is encouraging manufacturers to build larger, more integrated and technologically advanced PV production facilities. As capacity increases, reliable production equipment becomes critical to achieving consistent quality, productivity and cost efficiency.

For processors evaluating an EVA solar encapsulation extrusion line, important considerations include film-thickness uniformity, controlled shrinkage, stable melt processing, production output, energy efficiency and material utilisation.

What Is an EVA Solar Film Extrusion Line?

An EVA solar film extrusion line is a specialised extrusion system used to manufacture EVA encapsulant film for solar modules. EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) provides protection, adhesion and electrical insulation within the module.

Encapsulation Film Structure

High-quality EVA solar encapsulant film production requires precise control of film thickness, melt processing, shrinkage, film uniformity, cooling, winding tension, output and material utilisation. For manufacturers investing in an EVA film extrusion system for solar applications, consistent control of these parameters is essential for reliable industrial-scale production.

Choosing the Best Equipment for Solar Film Extrusion Line in India

Processors seeking the best EVA solar film extrusion line manufacturers in India should evaluate more than equipment price. Key considerations include EVA/POE/EPE processing capability, film quality, productivity, energy efficiency, material utilisation, automation, process control and after-sales technical support.

Rajoo LAMINA E: Sheet Extrusion Technology for Solar Applications

With 40 years of extrusion expertise, Rajoo Engineers Ltd has developed LAMINA E specifically for solar encapsulant film production. The system is designed to process EVA/POE/EPE materials, combining high output and line speed with controlled low shrinkage and low winder tension. Suitable edge-trim regrind can also be reprocessed, supporting efficient material utilisation.

For manufacturers seeking EVA film extrusion systems for solar applications, technology selection should extend beyond the initial machine price. Extrusion equipment expertise, material know how, reliability, and technical support with the total cost of ownership are equally important.
