Why solar OEMs choose INDIC

Why Solar OEMs Choose INDIC for Solar Electronics Manufacturing

Solar hardware must survive heat, dust, voltage swings and remote sites where a service visit is expensive. INDIC's process is built for those conditions.

  • Hybrid assembly for power boards

    Inverter and charger boards combine fine-pitch control circuits with heavy through-hole power parts. INDIC runs SMT, THT, BGA and hybrid lines under one roof. See assembly lines.

  • Testing for field reliability

    INDIC runs functional, electrical and end-of-line tests on every unit, and uses environmental stress screening to catch early-life failures. See testing and quality.

  • Complete box build

    INDIC delivers finished products: enclosures, mounting, control panels, cable assemblies, system integration and packaging. See custom box build.

  • Sourcing and lifecycle management

    INDIC sources power semiconductors, magnetics and capacitors turnkey, consigned or partial-turnkey through 300+ suppliers, and manages obsolescence. See component sourcing.

  • Compliance-ready quality

    INDIC builds to support each OEM's RoHS and CE requirements, under ISO 9001:2015, IPC-A-610 and ANSI/ESD S20.20, with RoHS and WEEE compliance in place.

  • Shared sustainability commitments

    INDIC is a UN Global Compact signatory, holds an EcoVadis Bronze rating and is D&B ESG registered. See INDIC's positive footprint.

Proof from real projects

Solar Electronics Manufacturing Results from Real Projects

Two published INDIC case studies show measurable results on solar and renewable-energy products.

Results from INDIC solar and renewable-energy case studies
Project What INDIC did Measured result
Solar-powered water distribution system (Swedish impact-tech company) Took over production from a Taiwanese partner that could not scale Production cost −45%, output +25%, defect rate −15% within three months
Renewable-energy PCBA functional testing Traced random test failures to mismatched fixture guide pins and corrected the alignment First pass yield +7%; random test failures eliminated

Prototype to deployment

INDIC builds a solar product in six steps

  1. Prototype and NPI

    Rapid prototyping, process development and fixture design for new inverter and controller designs.

    NPI services
  2. Design for excellence

    DFM, DFT and assembly reviews make power boards easier to build and test at volume.

    DFX reviews
  3. Sourcing

    Turnkey, consigned or partial-turnkey procurement with component engineering support.

    Component sourcing
  4. PCB assembly

    High-volume or high-mix PCBA on SMT, THT and hybrid lines.

    PCB assembly services
  5. Test and screening

    Functional, electrical and end-of-line testing plus environmental stress screening.

    Testing and quality
  6. Box build and shipment

    Enclosures, cable assemblies, system integration, packaging and global shipment.

FAQs

Solar electronics manufacturing questions

  • What solar electronics can INDIC manufacture?

    INDIC manufactures solar and grid-tie inverters, renewable DC-DC converters, DC-input charge controllers and DC-DC chargers, inverter/chargers with battery management, and monitoring and connectivity modules. INDIC also builds the enclosures, mounting, control panels and cable assemblies around them.

  • Can INDIC build the complete solar inverter, not just the PCB?

    Yes. INDIC can supply tested PCBAs or take on full box build. Box build covers enclosures, cable assemblies, control panels, system integration and packaging, so the OEM receives a finished product.

  • Does INDIC build solar inverters for RoHS and CE marked products?

    Yes. INDIC operates with RoHS and WEEE compliance and builds solar inverters to support each customer's RoHS and CE requirements. The CE mark itself is the OEM's declaration.

  • How are solar inverters and charge controllers tested at INDIC?

    INDIC uses functional testing, electrical testing, manufacturing defect analysis and end-of-line testing. Environmental stress screening is added where field reliability demands it.

  • Does INDIC support off-grid and hybrid solar systems?

    Yes. INDIC builds DC-DC converters, charge controllers and inverter/chargers with battery management for off-grid and hybrid solar-plus-storage systems, as well as grid-tie inverters.

  • Where does INDIC carry out its solar electronics manufacturing?

    INDIC's solar electronics manufacturing takes place at its plant in the KIADB Industrial Area, Doddaballapur, Bengaluru, India. INDIC serves solar and renewable-energy OEMs in India and internationally.
