EDF EN France chooses Trina Solar modules to equip its Fos Sur Mer solar power plant (Bouches du Rhône)

La Fossette is one of the first projects in Europe to be equipped with these latest generation modules, which increase the power of the system and the length of the lines by up to 50%. La Fossette will be connected to the network in February 2017.

The Fossette power plant, designed and managed by EDF EN, is equipped with 45.510 265W Trina Solar panels. This marks a step for Trina Solar in terms of its presence on the French solar energy market. The choice of EDF EN, French leader in renewable energies, in favor of this Dual Glass model certified TSM-PEG05 1500V is based on criteria of performance, quality and reliability.

Trina Solar's 1500 V high-power system is particularly suitable for La Fossette, not only because its footprint on the ground minimizes energy loss, but also because the source circuits can be reduced by almost a third , boxes and connection cables.

These Dual Glass modules will provide La Fossette with longer panel life, reduce maintenance and associated costs. Two 2,5mm layers of tempered glass provide resistance to microcracks, PID, deformation, heat, wear, and corrosion.

"We are honored that EDF EN France has chosen our modules for this major project" says Gonzalo De La Vina, Director Business Module Europe at Trina Solar, “Through this project, we have established an effective and lasting partnership with the largest French player in the field of renewable energies. This is an illustration of Trina Solar's commitment to meet some of the highest quality criteria in the world with regard to panels or photovoltaic solutions. Our Dual Glass module TSM-PEG5 1500V is particularly suited to the ambitions of an installation like that of La Fossette “
