FAQ

QAre Chinese inverters subject to ALMM?

An Approved List of Models for inverters was issued in 2023 and updated through 2025. Compliance is being phased in for PSU tenders; private C&I projects remain free to specify any IEC-compliant model.

QWhat's the 20% BCD's effective impact?

With 18% IGST, all-in landed cost of a Chinese string inverter is ~28% above CIF. Even so, Chinese inverters retain a 15–20% advantage over Indian-assembled equivalents on $/W.
