Project Focus: SunPower adds 20MW of installs for French retailer

French retailer, Casino Group has again selected SunPower to supply modules for rooftop and parking area at its retail properties in France. The two companies had previously collaborated in 2009, which amounted to 15MW of installs. In total 18 properties will have been fitted with modules. However, Casino Group has 11,000 stores in 9 countries of which 9,031 are located in France.

"As an indication of the fast development of GreenYellow, the renewable energy subsidiary of the Casino Group, and to improve our continued commitment to sustainability, Casino Group is very pleased to extend our agreement with SunPower and install solar power systems on a significant number of additional properties," said Philippe Houins, chief operations officer of Green Yellow.

SunPower will employ its E19 Series solar panels, which have efficiencies of 19%.
