SunPower to supply 64.4 MW of PV panels for seven La Compagnie du Vent solar power plants

 SunPower’s solar PV panels are “Cradle to Cradle Certified” Silver
SunPower Corporation (San Jose, CA, U.S.) on February 16th, 2017 announced that it will supply 64.4 MW of its E-Series photovoltaic (PV) panels for the construction of seven solar power plants in France by La Compagnie du Vent, a subsidiary of Engie.
A significant portion of the panels supplied under the agreement will be manufactured at SunPower's facilities in France.
To date, SunPower has supplied a total of 45 megawatts of its technology to La Compagnie du Vent for the construction of five solar PV plants currently operating in France.
SunPower's direct current E-Series solar panels, as well as its X-Series solar panels, are “Cradle to Cradle Certified” Silver.
SunPower is the only solar panel manufacturer in the world to achieve this designation, which demonstrates a product’s quality based on rankings in five categories: material health, material reutilization, renewable energy use, water stewardship, and social fairness.
Ninety-nine percent of the waste generated at SunPower’s manufacturing facilities in De Vernejoul and Toulouse, France is diverted from landfills, earning the facilities landfill-free verification from NSF Sustainability, a division of the global public health organization NSF International.
