To maintain quality in the Indian market amidst Little disruptions, India will have to look inward and bring in alternative materials that would need to have gone through rigorous testing for durability and efficiency. It is assured that sourced materials like copper, aluminum, or glass to partner manufacturers will have been sourced off globally. Out of the box solutions prioritizing thin-film or organic solar materials instead of relying on conventional silicon panels. In addition to these, establishing high-quality standards and certification processes for these alternatives will assure reliability. It will also be possible to create cooperation with research institutes aiming at developing new materials.

- Source high-quality alternative materials from reputable suppliers after detailed review and analysis - Conduct thorough testing to ensure they meet our performance standards. - Engage third-party experts to verify the quality and efficiency. - Increase on-site inspections to maintain strict quality control. - Document the entire process to track performance and address any issues swiftly.

Nowadays, several panel manufacturers maintain almost equal quality and price with efficiency variations. For a flawless supply chain, periodical (quarterly evaluation) benchmarking (Testing at the user end) of different manufacturers is obvious, and it is better than sticking with a single manufacturer. Adding compensatory clauses and performance guarantees in MOU, pre-shipment inspection, and maintenance will help anybody control this kind of disruption.

1. Don't rely on a single supplier. Spread the risk by engaging multiple sources for materials. 2. Keep an optimal level of inventory to buffer against sudden supply chain disruptions. 3. Build strong relationships with suppliers and keep the lines of communication open for better forecast sharing. 4. Where possible, source components locally to reduce dependency on international supply chains. 5. Invest in supply chain management technology to predict and mitigate potential disruptions.
