Centrosolar France has supplied 19,000 PV modules to a project in the department of Seine Maritime in Northern France. Housing developer Habitat 76 has installed 3.7MW of PV modules on 190 roofs in collaboration with French electricity company EDF Optimal Solutions.

The first of the systems, located in the town of Darnetal, has already been connected to the grid. 1,975 Centrosolar S-Class modules generate 385kW of energy on a roof area totalling 3,388m². The project is estimated to be completed in June 2013. Centrosolar France is a subsidiary of Centrosolar and France is, next to the US and Italy, the company’s biggest market.

  • Photovoltaics International 19th Edition

    For manufacturers who had their heads in the bunker during 2012, fighting falling ASPs and eroding margins, the nineteenth edition brings you details of what lies in store for this coming year. Wright Williams & Kelly return in this issue with their popular analysis of payback on technology buys; crucially they analyze n-type wafers, Al2O3 passivation and copper metallization. SERIS shows us how to achieve 18.7% efficiencies using low-cost etching techniques on diffused wafers. We also have two important technology roundups: CIGS from Helmholtz Berlin, and PV module encapsulation techniques from Fraunhofer ISE.
