# How do I check whether my installer's solar cells are on ALMM List-II?

Canonical: https://senseible.earth/answers/how-to-check-solar-cells-on-almm-list

Open MNRE's latest ALMM List-II revision and find the cell manufacturer, the plant location and the exact model. Each entry also gives the cell type, efficiency and wattage range, enlisted capacity and a validity period, so check the model is listed and still valid on your commissioning date.

## What a List-II entry shows

- Manufacturer name and the address of the manufacturing facility.
- Enlisted manufacturing capacity in MW a year.
- Enlisted cell models, with cell type, for example N-type TOPCon or mono PERC, and size.
- Average and range of cell efficiency and wattage, as claimed by the manufacturer.
- Validity from and to dates.

## Steps

1. Get the cell manufacturer and cell model number from the module datasheet or the module maker.
2. Open the latest List-II revision on MNRE's website; the 12th revision was dated 8 October 2026.
3. Match manufacturer, plant location and model exactly; a different plant of the same company is a different entry.
4. Check your expected commissioning date falls inside the validity dates.
5. Save a copy of the page showing the entry with your project documents.

## Things that catch people out

Revisions amend earlier entries as well as adding new ones, so use the latest revision, not an old download. Capacity shown in a revision replaces the earlier capacity for that unit; it is not added to it.

## Example entry from the 12th revision (8 October 2026)

- Manufacturer: Gopin Semicon Private Limited, Kamrej, Surat, Gujarat
- Capacity: 402 MW a year; cell: N-type TOPCon, G12R
- Average efficiency 25.57%, range 24.60% to 25.70%
- Valid from 8 October 2026 to 7 October 2030
