The Massangis array, in the Bourgogne region of France, was initiated in 2010 and built in several stages. The final array incorporates 700,000 of First Solar’s thin-film modules and will be maintained by EDF-EN Services.

The commissioning ceremony comes less than three weeks after EDF-EN finished work at the 60MW Crucey array on disused NATO air base near Chartres, in the centre of France – also using First Solar modules.
