Bidders must provide a five-year, six-month warranty against manufacturing defects from the date of supply. At the end of ten years, the module degradation should be no less than 90%, and at the end of 25 years, it should be no less than 80%.

Modules should have a minimum efficiency of over 16.5%, and solar cells should have a minimum efficiency of over 18.40%. Modules must perform well in temperatures ranging from -10° C to 85° C, and they must withstand wind gusts of up to 170 km/h on the panel's surface.

High transmission, low iron, tempered glass with a minimum thickness of over 3.2 mm should be used for modules.

Bidders must have a minimum annual module manufacturing capacity of 20 MW to participate in the competitive bidding process. In the previous year, they should have delivered over 3 MW of solar modules.
