French Utility Selects SunPower Solar Panels

SunPower Corp. has announced that it has delivered 12,000 high-efficiency SunPower E19 / 320 solar panels to La Compagnie du Vent, a subsidiary of French utility giant GDF SUEZ Group.

Estimated for completion in the summer of 2012, the 3.8-megawatt dc (MW) power plant will be La Compagnie du Vent's largest ground-mounted photovoltaic (PV) installation to date. The solar power plant is expected to generate approximately 6,270,000 kilowatt-hours of power each year, which represents the electricity consumption of approximately 3,500 people and, according to RTE 2011, carbon offset of approximately 5,000 tons per year.

"SunPower is delighted to partner with La Compagnie du Vent to provide them our high-efficiency solar panels, the most reliable on the market today," said Howard Wenger, SunPower president, regions. "We are confident that, with SunPower's proven performance, La Compagnie du Vent will experience exceptional energy output and achieve robust return on investment over the 25-year minimum life of the solar panels."
