Solex Energy - Undervalued Solar PV Manufacturer or Microcap Value Trap?

Q2 drop in revenue is a red herring as it is still unexplained. Moreover you have referred 2024 rates for modules but should have taken present rate for calculation. Moreover other solar companies like Premier and Vikram have not presented very good figures . So1660 cr in H2 for solex is a herculean task, though their European gameplan is a silverlining. So let us watch and wait for company confirmation.

  1. Q2 drop in revenue has been explained to be because extended monsoon in Gujarat hampered delivery; H1 in general and Q2 in particular is generally weak for solar/EPC companies because of delivery/execution issues (for eg. Alpex too). Management has said the ~₹100cr inventory accumulation is being delivered, in their Dec 2025 concall

  2. I used 2024 rates since they were management-validated, and because they are 1/2 as that of current market rates. If we use market rate of ₹18000 per module, then the revenue expectation becomes ~₹2900cr. So, to be conservative, I used the confirmed ₹8700 number.

  3. Premier’s December numbers seem great, and Vikram’s seem subdued due to depreciation and debt (idiosyncratic), and possible module price fall; that’s why I used the conservative ₹8700/module figure.

Like you said, ₹1600cr H2 is herculean. The short term bet hinges on whether the management will be able to squeeze at least 2-3 months of proper utilisation while maintaining efficiency standards, in the new facilities. Factors supporting this are the management’s expertise, ISC Konstanz’s support and the ₹276cr order.
