15 Jun 2023 CW Team

ITI, a government-owned company operating under the Department of Telecommunications, has announced a tender for the sale of 720,000 multicrystalline solar cells with a five-busbar cut.

The deadline for bid submissions is June 26, 2023, and the bids will be opened on the same day. Interested bidders are not required to provide any earnest money deposit to participate in the tender.

However, the successful bidder will need to furnish a security deposit equivalent to 10 per cent of the bid value immediately upon confirmation by ITI.

The solar cells will be supplied in monthly lots of 250,000, starting from August 1, 2023. The buyer will have the option to inspect the material before accepting it, and ITI will provide a cell tester tool for sample testing upon request.

The solar cells must have dimensions of 40 mm x 157 +- 0.25 mm, with a thickness of 200 um +- 20 um. They should also be equipped with a silicon nitride anti-reflective coating and have a busbar difference of 31.2 mm +- 0.1 mm.

Furthermore, the cells must possess an efficiency of 18.8 per cent under standard test conditions, along with a fill factor of 80 per cent. They can be light blue, blue, dark blue, or indigo in color. The minimum power of the cells under standard testing conditions should be 1.17 Wp.

It is essential that the solar cells are free from breakage, cracks, chipped edges, micro-cracks, pinholes, discontinuity of metal printing lines, spots, spillages or smears, color variations, and non-uniform printing lines.

The bidders offering the highest rates will be declared as H1 bidders. In the event that the H1 bidder fails to purchase the material for any reason, ITI reserves the right to sell to other bidders without any claim from the H1 bidder.

In a previous tender, ITI sought to supply 553,500 polycrystalline solar cells, with a total tender value of Rs 36.5 million (~$440,754).
