As part of its growth strategy in solar business, the company has launched India's first solar powered generators and solar-based water purifiers which are based on plug and play concept.

The company has expanded its manufacturing facility in Greater Noida (NCR region) to manufacture these new solar products with an annual capacity to manufacture 5,000 units of solar generator and 10,000 units of solar water purifier. Jakson has invested approx. Rs 40 crore in expansion of the plant adding a new shed of approx. 1,50,000 sq. ft along with plant and machinery. With this launch, the company is targeting additional revenue of Rs 200 crore from this segment by FY2016. The company plans to set up a new dealers-and-distributions network to market these new products in India. The company is also planning to export these products to Africa, Middle East and South East Asian countries in a big way.

Jakson mobile solar generators are compact power units capable of delivering uninterrupted and clean power. The product is offered in the range of 0.5 kW-25 kW. Mobile solar generators are quickly deployable, ready to use, factory assembled, all-weather power stations designed to reliably generate clean power using solar energy.
