PowerHive, the energy storage division of Vikram Solar — one of India's largest solar panel manufacturers — has officially launched the VION lithium battery range in India, targeting residential and commercial energy storage customers.
What Is VION?
VION is a wall-mounted lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery designed to pair with solar systems and hybrid inverters. It competes with products from BYD, Dyness, and domestic brands in the residential storage segment.
Why Vikram Solar's Entry Matters
Vikram Solar brings an established sales network, manufacturing credibility and brand trust built in the solar panel market. Their entry into storage signals that India's large solar companies see battery storage as the next major revenue stream — validating what the inverter industry has known for years.
For Customers
The VION's entry into the market increases competition — which is good for buyers. More choices, better pricing, and the confidence of buying from a company with deep roots in India's solar sector.
For Dealers
A new lithium battery brand backed by Vikram Solar's distribution network is worth evaluating. Panel dealers who already stock Vikram Solar now have a natural upsell path to storage.
