PowerShell script for adding multiple WSP solutions

In case of big SharePoint Farms with large application domain we need to add multiple solutions, Doing it manually will be a lot tough and time consuming task. So a more manageable way could be to create a PowerShell script, that runs on the Farm to add the listed wsp solutions. I created one of such solution for a client who had around 50-60 such solutions. Below is the script that you can use to add wsp's solutions to SharePoint Farm. This script should be placed inside a folder along with the wsp solutions which needs to be added. 

Copy-Paste the below script in a text file and rename its extension to - *.ps1



$dir = $(gl)
 $list = Get-ChildItem $dir | where {$_.extension -eq ".wsp"}
 foreach($my_file in Get-ChildItem $list)
 {
       write-host $my_file.Name
       $currentDir = Get-Location
       [string]$packageName = $my_file.Name
        $solution = Get-SPSolution $packageName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
         if ($solution -ne $null)
         {
            Write-Host
               Write-Host "The solution $packageName already exists." -foregroundcolor Red
         }
         else
         {
              [string]$packagePath = $currentDir.Path + "\" + $packageName
              Write-Host
              Write-Host "Adding solution... $packageName..." -foregroundcolor Yellow
              $addedsolution = Add-SPSolution $packagePath
        if ($addedsolution -ne $null)
        {
            Write-Host "Solution added successfully... $packageName..." -foregroundcolor Green
        }
        else
        {
            Write-Host "ERROR in adding solution... $packageName..." -foregroundcolor Red
        }
         }
 }
