Where the day-to-day really hurts
Real pain we’ve seen on Indian factory floors — and how the system fixes each one.
ALMM cert expired 2 weeks ago. Sales team sold 200 modules to an SECI project this week. Customer requests ALMM cert with the dispatch. Refund + reputation hit.
ALMM renewal calendar with reminders 90 days before expiry. Sales gate refuses to commit ALMM-required orders against an expired-cert model.
Production made 10,000 540W modules. Flash test sorted them into 4,800 × 540W + 4,500 × 535W + 700 × 530W. EPC pays 540W rate for all of them; ₹50L margin gone before anyone notices.
Wp-binning dashboard shows bin recovery % per production batch. Pre-production cell-bin planning maximises top-bin output. Margin protected per shipment.
Government tender requires 50% DCR. You're using imported cells + domestic EVA + domestic glass + domestic frame. What's your DCR %? Your team spends 3 days with Excel; gets it wrong; tender lost.
DCR % auto-calculated per module BOM from country-of-origin captured at GRN. Tender-ready certificate in one click.
Customer (EPC) raises a warranty claim: "this 540W module is producing 510W after 8 years; that's outside your linear warranty curve." You can't find the module's cell lot / EL-test result. Claim absorbed.
Serial → BOM rev → cell lot → EL test → lamination cycle lookup. 25-year warranty defensible decades later.
PLI quarterly claim due. Production data scattered. CA takes 2 weeks; claim filed late + short by ₹4 Cr; quarter's incentive lost.
PLI claim data prepared continuously from production records. DVA (Domestic Value Addition) calc per module. MNRE-format export ready on filing-day-1.
Cell shortage hits 12 weeks before scheduled production. You panic-buy cells from a grey-market trader. They fail EL test at lamination. ₹80L of EVA + glass + frame wasted on bad cells.
AML supplier whitelist for cells with dual-approval override required for off-AML PO. Long-lead-time alerts 16 weeks ahead prevent panic-buys.
Real ROI, with numbers we can defend
Top-bin output recovery improvement after Wp-binning planning kicks in. On a 100MW factory, this is ₹50-100 lakh additional annual gross margin.
Zero ALMM-expired-cert sales after the renewal-calendar workflow gate is enforced.
Quarterly PLI claim filing on-day-1 — data prepared continuously, not last-minute scramble.
Module-serial-to-component-lot lookup for 25-year warranty claims (vs 3-day archive hunt).
Built for this industry, not adapted from generic ERP
ALMM Compliance + Renewal Calendar
Every module model registered against the MNRE Approved List of Models & Manufacturers. Cert validity tracked (typically 2-3 years), renewal reminders 90 days before expiry, sales to government / grid-connected projects gated by ALMM status.
Cell-to-Module Wp Binning
Cells arrive in Wp bins (e.g. 6.20W / 6.25W / 6.30W). Module wattage depends on which cells get assembled together. Workflow plans which bin goes to which order to maximise module-bin recovery — the difference between 540W and 545W is ₹500+ per module on a 5MW order.
Multi-Layer BOM with AML
PV module BOM = cells + EVA encapsulant + backsheet + glass + frame + junction box + ribbon + flux + sealant. Each line has an Approved Manufacturers List. Procurement gated to whitelist — same counterfeit-prevention pattern as EMS.
DCR Domestic-Content Tracking
Government tenders (SECI / NTPC / state utilities) require X% domestic content. System tracks country-of-origin per component lot, rolls up DCR % per module BOM, and produces tender-ready DCR certificates.
IEC + BIS Cert Chain
IEC 61215 (design qualification) + IEC 61730 (safety) + BIS IS 14286 (PV spec) test certificates per module model, linked to validity dates. Customer ("show me your IEC for this model") + EPC procurement query resolved in seconds.
Per-Module Serial + Warranty Trail
Every assembled module has a unique serial. Serial → BOM rev → cell lot → EVA lot → backsheet lot → EL-test result. 10-year product + 25-year linear power warranty defensible decades later from a 5-second lookup.

The Wp Binning Margin Lever
Cell Wp bins drive module margin. Plan the bin mix.
A 540W module isn't one thing — it's a wattage bin (typically 535-545W) achieved by combining cells of specific Wp bins. The difference between a 540W and a 545W module is ₹500+ per module on a 5MW EPC order. Multiply by 10,000 modules per shipment and the wrong bin allocation is ₹50 lakh of margin walking away.
- Cell GRN captures Wp bin per lot — 6.20W, 6.25W, 6.30W, 6.35W (typical mono-PERC bins for 540W modules with 108 half-cells)
- Order planning module: "I have 5MW of 540W order due, what cell-bin mix do I need?" → system shows current bin inventory vs requirement, flags shortages 4 weeks before production
- Cell allocation at production: highest-Wp bins prioritised to 545W bin output; lower-Wp bins routed to 540W or 535W output
- Flash-test sorting: assembled modules sorted into output Wp bin based on actual flash-test result (cells don't always combine linearly)
- Bin recovery dashboard: what % of your output landed in the top bin vs second bin vs power-class-down? This is the single biggest gross-margin driver in module manufacturing.
End of "we sold 5MW of 540W but actually shipped a lot of 535W because the binning was sloppy". Your sales team quotes accurately; your production team plans bin mix; your CFO sees bin-recovery analytics every Monday morning.
Honest Cloud Boundaries
What runs in the browser vs what needs an on-site connector.
Starter and Growth plans are 100% cloud — open Chrome, do everything. Hardware integrations can work but need a small on-site connector (quoted separately, Enterprise scope):
- ✓ Cloud-only (Starter / Growth): ALMM compliance + renewal calendar · Multi-layer BOM with AML · Cell GRN with manual Wp-bin entry · Cell-to-module allocation planning · Manual lamination cycle entry · Manual EL-test result entry · Wattage-binning analytics · DCR % calc per BOM · IEC + BIS cert library · Module serial-to-component-lot trail · Customer warranty lookup · PLI claim prep · GST + EWB · Export workflow + RoDTEP
- ⚙ Needs on-site connector (Enterprise add-on): Auto-read from tabber / stringer machine controllers (typically Schmid / Komax / 3S equipment) · Direct lamination-cycle log import (typically NPC / Burkle / Komax) · Direct EL-tester result import per module · Flash-tester (sun simulator) automatic Wp-bin sort capture · Cell barcode auto-scan at GRN
We don't claim cloud-magic over your Schmid stringer. If you want hands-free EL-test / flash-test ingestion, we install a small Windows agent at the tester PC that pushes results to the cloud. Quoted per machine. Manual entry works fine on Starter / Growth — most India PV module units start there.
On the roadmap · Rolling out through 2026
AI assists on the roadmap for your PV module line.
AI assists are rolling out on the Omeecron platform through 2026 — included on the Growth plan when they ship, no extra cost. Here's exactly where AI will help in your factory's daily flow:
- 📄 Document AI (OCR + auto-fill): Cell-supplier flash-test reports (Wp bins + EL grade) → GRN auto-populated; ALMM cert PDFs → model master + expiry calendar drafted.
- 👁 Quiet Watchdog (anomaly detection): Wp-bin recovery drift week-over-week, ALMM cert expiring inside 90 days, and DCR % drop on a BOM — flagged before the tender or shipment lands.
- 💬 Ask Your ERP (vertical chatbot): "Top-bin recovery rate this week" · "Pending PLI claim quantum for this quarter" — typed answer, MNRE-format ready.
These are planned features, not live today. We're building them in the open and Growth-plan customers get them free as they ship. Want early-access? WhatsApp us.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about Indian PV Solar Module Manufacturers (PLI / ALMM / DCR).
Every module model is registered against the MNRE Approved List of Models & Manufacturers with cert validity dates. Renewal calendar tracks expiry; sales gate refuses to commit ALMM-required orders against an expired-cert model.
- Model master: each model holds its ALMM-assigned model number + lab + validity date
- Customer / channel master: tag which customers require ALMM (typically government / SECI / NTPC / state utilities; some commercial)
- Sales gate: for ALMM-required customers, the order entry won't commit a model whose cert is expired or expiring within delivery window
- Renewal calendar: reminders 90 days, 60 days, 30 days before expiry — gives your QA team time to file renewal with the certifying lab
- Customer audit pack: ALMM cert PDF + validity confirmation auto-attached to dispatch documents
Cells of different Wp bins combine differently into module output. Smart bin-mix planning gets you +2% top-bin recovery — which on a 100MW factory is ₹50-100 lakh of additional annual gross margin.
- Cell GRN captures Wp bin per lot (typical mono-PERC bins: 6.20W / 6.25W / 6.30W / 6.35W for 540W modules with 108 half-cells)
- Order planning: "5MW of 540W order due in 2 weeks" → system shows current bin inventory + bin-mix required for the wattage target
- Cell allocation at lay-up: highest-Wp bins prioritised for top-bin module output (545W); lower bins routed to 540W / 535W
- Flash test sort: assembled modules sorted into actual output Wp bin based on flash-test result
- Bin recovery dashboard: % of output landing in top bin vs second bin vs power-class-down — the single biggest gross-margin lever in module manufacturing
Country-of-origin captured at GRN per component lot. BOM roll-up calculates DCR % per module; tender-ready DCR certificates generated per dispatch.
- Component country-of-origin captured per GRN lot — cell from China vs India, EVA from Korea vs India, glass from India, frame from India, etc.
- BOM cost roll-up includes ₹-value-by-country split
- DCR calc: domestic component ₹-value / total component ₹-value = DCR %
- Tender gate: if customer DCR requirement is 50% and current BOM produces only 47% DCR, order entry warns. Procurement re-routes to higher-DCR suppliers OR Engineering proposes alternative BOM.
- DCR certificate: auto-generated per dispatch, signed by your authorised person, attached to shipping docs for government tenders
Yes — for Enterprise-tier customers, a small Windows agent at the line PC reads the machine controller and pushes data to the cloud. On Starter / Growth, manual cycle-data entry works fine and is how most Indian PV factories operate today.
- Tabber + stringer: typically Schmid / Komax / 3S; data read via Ethernet or OPC UA gives per-string output, cycle time, reject rate
- Lamination: typically NPC / Burkle / Komax; cycle data (temp / time / pressure / pressure-hold) imported per laminator run
- EL tester / flash tester: CSV or XML export read by the agent; per-module result mapped to the assembled-module serial
- Cell-tray barcode auto-scan at GRN — eliminates manual Wp-bin / lot-number entry
- All these are quoted per machine on Enterprise; Starter / Growth use manual entry against the same data structures
The MNRE PLI scheme for high-efficiency PV modules pays incentive on incremental sales over a base year, tied to DVA (Domestic Value Addition) thresholds. Production data feeds the claim continuously, not last-minute Excel scrambles.
- Base-year production set at scheme enrolment; incremental delta tracked per quarter
- DVA calc: domestic component cost / total component cost — auto-rolled from BOM, country-of-origin per component
- Efficiency threshold: PLI tranches require minimum module efficiency (e.g. 19.5% or higher for some tranches); modules below threshold excluded from claim
- MNRE-format claim export in the format the scheme requires; auditor sees clean data
- Disbursement tracking: claim filed → acknowledgement → in-principle approval → final disbursement, end-to-end status
Every module has a unique serial linked to its BOM rev, cell lot, EL test result, lamination cycle, and flash-test Wp. Customer warranty claim 15 years later → 5-second lookup.
- Module serial assigned at framing; printed on the nameplate label per IEC requirements
- BOM rev: which version of the BOM this module was built from
- Cell lot: exact cells consumed for this module (mono-PERC manufacturer + lot + EL grade)
- EVA / backsheet / glass / frame lot: lot numbers from GRN
- Lamination cycle record: exact temp / time / pressure for the laminator run that processed this module
- EL + flash test results: captured per module at production
- Warranty defensible: "module SN12345 was produced from cell lot ABC, EL-tested grade A, flash-tested at 541.2W; the 510W output you're measuring at year-8 is within the linear warranty curve" — paper trail in one click
Yes — custom-Wp project orders are first-class. EPC orders typically specify a Wp class (e.g. 540W ± 5W) + quantity + delivery schedule.
- Order entry: EPC specifies Wp target + tolerance + quantity (e.g. 5MW × 540W ± 5W)
- Cell-bin plan: system suggests cell-bin mix needed to achieve target Wp output
- Procurement trigger: if current cell inventory insufficient, system raises PO requirements 12-16 weeks ahead (cell lead-time)
- Production allocation: daily Wp-bin production plan; flash-tested modules sorted into the EPC's wattage class
- Dispatch milestone billing: 30% on PO + 60% on factory dispatch + 10% on site commissioning (configurable per EPC contract)
- EPC portal: customer sees serial-level shipment list with actual Wp per module
21–28 working days for a 200 MW factory. The variable is the BOM + ALMM model master migration — depends on how many module SKUs you produce and how clean your ALMM filings are.
- Day 1–5: Module model master + ALMM cert library migration
- Day 6–8: BOM library migration with AML setup per cell / EVA / backsheet / glass / frame supplier
- Day 9–10: Country-of-origin master setup for DCR calc
- Day 11–14: User training (production, QA, finance — online OR on-site)
- Day 15–18: First parallel production run validated (especially Wp bin tracking)
- Day 19–25: PLI claim data backfill for current quarter
- Day 26–28: Cutover with reconciled ledgers
Pricing starts at ₹1,700/month for the Starter plan, with a flat 20% discount when you pay annually.
- Starter — ₹1,700/month or ₹16,320/year: ALMM tracking, BOM + AML, cell-to-module workflow with manual Wp-bin entry, IEC + BIS cert library, module serial trail, GST + EWB
- Growth — ₹3,500/month or ₹33,600/year: + multi-GSTIN, DCR cert generation, PLI claim prep + DVA calc, Wp-binning analytics dashboard, RoDTEP for exporters, EPC milestone billing, priority support

Glossary — terms used on this page
- ALMM
- Approved List of Models & Manufacturers — MNRE-maintained list of PV modules approved for use in grid-connected projects in India. Sales to SECI / NTPC / state utilities + grid-connected commercial / residential require an ALMM-listed model. Cert validity 2-3 years.
- Wp Bin
- Cells and modules are categorised by output power (Watt-peak) into bins. A 540W module is typically 535-545W; a "6.20W cell" produces 6.15-6.25W under standard test conditions. Bin recovery — what % of output lands in the top bin — is the biggest margin lever in PV module manufacturing.
- DCR
- Domestic Content Requirement — Indian government tenders (SECI / NTPC / state utility solar projects) mandate a minimum domestic-content % in PV modules (typically 50-60%). Calculated as ₹-value of domestic components / ₹-value of total components.
- DVA
- Domestic Value Addition — similar to DCR but used in PLI scheme context. PLI tranches require minimum DVA % to qualify for the production-linked-incentive payout. Auto-calculated from BOM costing + country-of-origin per component.
- EL / Flash Test
- EL = Electroluminescence test, detects microcracks + cell defects in assembled modules. Flash test = sun-simulator test, measures actual module Wp under standard test conditions. Both required per IEC 61215.
- mono-PERC / TOPCon / HJT
- Three current PV cell technologies. Mono-PERC = mainstream (75% market share), 21-22% efficiency. TOPCon = next-gen (gaining share), 22-23% efficiency. HJT = heterojunction, premium 23-24% efficiency. Each has different BOM + cost profile.
