Total announced the construction of a photovoltaic panel production and assembly unit at Composite Park in France’s north-eastern region of Moselle.
With a surface area of 2,800 square metres, the plant will house two production lines for a total capacity of 50 MWp representing about 220,000 photovoltaic panels per year. Construction is scheduled to begin in early 2011 and the first line (25 MWp) is expected to come on stream towards the end of the year. In the long run, the new unit will create around 80 jobs in the region.
