French company Total has launched a project to build a photovoltaic panel production and assembly unit at Composite Park in north-eastern region of Moselle, France.
The plant will house two production lines for a total capacity of 50 megawatt peak (MWp) representing about 220,000 photovoltaic panels per year that will have a surface area of 2,800sq m.
The construction is slated to commence in early 2011 and the first line (25MWp) is expected to come on stream towards the end of the year.
Total Gas & Power president Philippe Boisseau said that this project adheres to the company's strategy of positioning itself within the entire photovoltaic solar chain.
"The production unit, situated near our French, German and Northern European customers, allows us to strengthen our market capabilities," Boisseau said.
The company said that the new unit will create around 80 jobs in the region.
