industrial
park
in
Porcelette,
in
the
region
of
Lorraine
near
the
German
border,
the
plant’s
80
workers
will
produce
150,000
modules
a
year
using
SunPower’s
high-end
Maxeon
cells.
Tenesol
was
long
owned
jointly
by
Total
and
state-owned
utility
EDF,
and
has
an
unparalleled
footprint
in
the
off-grid
PV
markets
across
Europe,
the
Middle
East
and
Africa.
Last

Total
gained
full
control
of
Tenesol,
and
followed
up
by
splashing
out
$1.37bn
for
a
two-thirds
stake
in
California-based
SunPower,
which
makes
the
highest-efficiency
modules
on
the
global
market.
