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.
