Production of a new generation of solar panels starts in France

In France, France PV Industrie has started production of highly efficient new generation solar panels using traditional silicon and new perovskit material. It is planned to launch pilot production capacity of 200 MW in 2025. Tandem blocks combine the durability of the current generation silicon with completely new technology. The company raised 9.3 million euros of public funds to finance the project, and the factory capacity is planned to increase to 1 GW in 2027 and 5 GW by 2030. France PV Industrie already operates two 250 MW production lines and plays a key role in the production of more efficient solar panels at the local level in France. This technological revolution, which reaches 30% efficiency, which is higher than in traditional technologies, reduces energy and materials consumption and uses recycled materials. The pilot line cost 15 million euros, and the demonstration project requires 50 million euros. It is projected that reaching a target in 5 GW by 2030 will require about 1 billion euros. The technology developed for 9 years is ready for large -scale industrialization, facilitating the plans of France to increase solar capacity to 48 GW by 2030 and 140 GW by 2050.
