Roofsol Energy has signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with RAK Ceramics to develop a 3 MWp solar power project in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh, under the operating expenditure (OPEX) model.

The project is aimed at supporting the commercial and industrial (C&I) sector’s transition towards renewable energy by providing a reliable and cost-effective solar power solution. Under the OPEX model, customers can procure solar electricity without bearing the full upfront investment required to develop a solar power project.

The agreement adds to Roofsol Energy’s expanding portfolio of industrial solar projects across India. In September 2026, the company secured a repeat order for 4.48 MWp of solar projects from Metro Decorative (CROSSBOND), covering installations in Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh. The order followed an earlier 3.2 MWp project for the same customer.

In August 2026, Roofsol signed a PPA for a 5 MWp solar project integrated with a 4 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) for pharmaceutical packaging manufacturer Associated Capsules Group in Maharashtra. The project marked the company’s entry into the C&I energy storage segment.

The company also signed PPAs for a 10.44 MWp rooftop solar project for Shyam Steel Industries’ facility in Durgapur, West Bengal, and a 17 MWp solar project for Foxconn’s facility in Bengaluru, Karnataka, in July 2026.

For FY2026–27, Roofsol Energy has set a target to invest in 200 MWp of rooftop solar assets through PPAs. The company stated that agreements covering more than 50 MWp had already been signed and were under execution.

In June 2026, Roofsol secured ₹260 crore in funding from Aseem Infrastructure Finance to develop solar independent power producer projects, including installations for JK Tyre and Industries and an additional 100 MWp of C&I solar capacity across India.

The latest agreement with RAK Ceramics further strengthens Roofsol Energy’s presence in the industrial solar market as businesses increasingly explore renewable power procurement to manage energy costs and advance their sustainability goals.

Infineon Technologies has introduced the XDP8HD40S-1, a high-voltage hot-swap controller designed to protect and monitor power distribution in next-generation AI servers operating at 800 VDC and ±400 VDC. The device provides digital power-path protection, allowing power modules, converters and server subsystems to be connected or disconnected without disrupting system operation.

For eeNews Europe readers, the move from traditional 48 V distribution to higher-voltage AI server architectures brings new challenges in managing inrush currents, transient events and power-switch protection. The new 800 VDC hot-swap controller addresses these requirements while adding monitoring and diagnostic capabilities for high-density computing systems.

The XDP8HD40S-1 integrates digital Safe Operating Area (SOA) control with programmable and preconfigured protection functions. A variable-pulse SOA control mode, referred to as Boost Mode, helps optimise startup behaviour while keeping the external power switch within its operating limits.

An integrated gate driver supports external silicon carbide (SiC) cascode configurations combining MOSFETs and JFETs. The controller is compatible with Infineon’s OptiMOS MOSFETs and CoolSiC JFETs, enabling designers to implement high-voltage protection stages using the company’s existing power semiconductor portfolio.

Additional features include surge immunity protection and fast power-switch shutdown with a configurable 1.5 A pull-down current.

“Future AI data centers require power delivery systems that combine high efficiency, maximum reliability, and comprehensive protection capabilities,” said Magdalene Boebel, Senior Vice President and Business Line Head of Power System ICs at Infineon. “The XDP8HD40S-1 enables system designers to implement reliable hot-swap solutions for ±400 V and 800 V power architectures while providing the monitoring and protection features needed to maximize server uptime and operational efficiency.”

The 800 VDC hot-swap controller includes a PMBus 1.5 interface with enhanced security features for integration into data centre management systems. A built-in black-box recording function captures critical events to support fault analysis and debugging.

For power monitoring, the device integrates 12-bit current and voltage analogue-to-digital converters. Infineon specifies measurement accuracy of approximately 1% for voltage and current, 3% for power, and 1.5% for analogue power monitoring.

Integrated energy metering enables continuous tracking of power consumption, while programmable overvoltage, undervoltage and overtemperature protection functions support system reliability.

The XDP8HD40S-1 targets two-wire 800 V and ±400 V intermediate bus converters, GPU power systems, 1,500 V intermediate bus converter applications, battery backup systems and peak-shaving architectures.

It supports VDDB supply voltages from 4.5 V to 24 V and VDDA voltages from 4.5 V to 13.2 V.

The controller extends Infineon’s portfolio for AI data centre power architectures, complementing its existing 800 V-to-48 V and direct-conversion reference designs with protection and monitoring functions at the rack and server level.
