Trina Solar supplies PV modules to 17 MW floating solar project in France

Trina Solar Limited has announced that it has supplied 17 MW of PV modules to the largest floating PV plant in Europe.

The “O'MEGA 1” PV project has been developed by Akuo Energy under the specific constraints of the French CRE4.1 tender, won with Trina Solar low carbon footprint modules. The plant is spread over a 17-hectare property in Piolenc, Vaucluse, south-east France.

Once operational, the plant will produce 100% renewable energy covering the consumption of more than 4,700 households and avoiding the emission of roughly 11,100 tons of CO₂ per year.

O`MEGA 1 is powered by more than 46,000 units of Trina Solar’s TSM-DEG14.20(II) dual-glass monocrystalline PERC modules in its low carbon footprint version.
