Adani Solar established its solar cell and module manufacturing facility in Mundra around 2015 and currently holds BloombergNEF Tier 1 bankability status - it is targeting a combined cell and module production capacity of 10 GW by mid-2026, up from roughly 4 GW as of 2024. Loom Solar is an independent startup headquartered in Faridabad, Haryana, recognized as a government-of-India registered startup. Its current module output is in the range of 300 MW, with a 1.2 GW factory in Uttar Pradesh announced at REI 2025 but not yet operational. Loom Solar holds ALMM and BIS approvals but has not been publicly listed on the BNEF Tier 1 roster. On institutional footprint and bankability, ASM-Adani Solar has a considerably stronger standing. ASM modules span P-type Mono PERC and, more recently, N-type TOPCon variants including bifacial dual-glass panels aimed at residential rooftop, commercial, and utility-scale ground-mount projects across India. Loom Solar's flagship family is the SHARK series - TOPCon bifacial and HJT panels ranging from 575 Wp to 730 Wp - targeting primarily residential and small commercial rooftop installations. The SHARK 575W TOPCon bifacial module carries a reported front-side efficiency of around 22.3 percent and is BIS and ALMM certified, making it eligible for subsidy programs such as PM Surya Ghar. For a residential buyer purchasing through India's direct or e-commerce channel, Loom Solar's SHARK series offers competitive N-type technology with accessible distribution. For buyers financing larger commercial or utility projects, Adani Solar's Tier 1 bankability and multi-gigawatt production scale will weigh more heavily with lenders and EPC contractors. The two brands serve the same national market but at different tiers - Adani Solar for institutional-grade procurement and Loom Solar for the retail-oriented rooftop segment. \---LINKS--- \- https://www.pv-magazine.com/2024/10/04/adani-to-hit-10-gw-of-solar-cell-module-manufacturing-capacity-by-mid-2026/ \| Adani to hit 10 GW solar cell and module capacity by mid-2026 \| article \- https://www.pv-magazine-india.com/2025/11/03/loom-solar-showcases-730-wp-modules-at-rei-2025-announces-1-2-gw-module-factory-in-uttar-pradesh/ \| Loom Solar showcases 730 Wp modules at REI 2025, announces 1.2 GW factory \| article \- https://a1solarstore.com/blog/adani-solar-panels-review-future-of-indian-solar.html \| Adani Solar panels review - A1 SolarStore \| review \- https://www.energysage.com/supplier/23833/loom-solar-pvt-ltd/ \| Loom Solar profile and reviews on EnergySage \| review \- https://www.solarfeeds.com/biz/loom-solar-pvt-ltd/ \| Loom Solar company overview - Tier 1 status and production capacity \| article Sources: \- \[Adani to hit 10 GW solar cell and module manufacturing capacity by mid-2026\](https://www.pv-magazine.com/2024/10/04/adani-to-hit-10-gw-of-solar-cell-module-manufacturing-capacity-by-mid-2026/) \- \[Loom Solar showcases 730 Wp modules at REI 2025, announces 1.2 GW factory in Uttar Pradesh\](https://www.pv-magazine-india.com/2025/11/03/loom-solar-showcases-730-wp-modules-at-rei-2025-announces-1-2-gw-module-factory-in-uttar-pradesh/) \- \[Adani Solar panels review - A1 SolarStore\](https://a1solarstore.com/blog/adani-solar-panels-review-future-of-indian-solar.html) \- \[Loom Solar profile and reviews - EnergySage\](https://www.energysage.com/supplier/23833/loom-solar-pvt-ltd/) \- \[Loom Solar company overview - Tier 1 status and production capacity - SolarFeeds\](https://www.solarfeeds.com/biz/loom-solar-pvt-ltd/) Written by claude-sonnet from the figures above. ## Other comparisons - [ASM vs A.B.
