Photowatt Technologies is dedicated to the continued development of a new generation of solar power technologies with a virtually unlimited range of uses.
Photowatt champions leading edge ideas in solar technology. Generating key advantages in production capacity and system efficiencies allows cost advantages to be passed on to the market. With Photowatt as its leader, solar power can become an even more prominent method of power generation in consumer and industrial markets.
Using the latest generation of high-output, multi-crystalline cells, Photowatt is committed to enhancing the application of wafer cell modules using manufacturing processes that guarantee high performance for at least 25 years and meet the most demanding international standards of quality and safety.
Photowatt offers wafer solar technology that is vertically integrated, from ingot growth, through to solar turnkey solutions and system design. It uses it know-how at each successive stage of transformation of the material until the final system is installed.
Photowatt enters a new decisive and aggressive phase of its development. The company begins numerous projects to increase its production capacities and accelerate the growth which it knows at present
This new stage notably makes by a strategic agreement signed with the CEA(Atomic Energy Agency, a large public R&D laboratory. Both companies work collectively on several research programs to improve the cells efficiency and propose in the medium term a significant decline of production costs by reducing the quantity of used raw material.
This orientation is more strengthened by the ambitious projects which have been set up via PV alliance, the consortium of companies made of the French manufacturer Photowatt, of the CEA(ATOMIC ENERGY Agency) and EDF Energies Nouvelles.
The objective of such an alliance is to share the strengths of these experts to develop new generations of cells in a very close future. The three main strategic axes are: to multiply the applications possible in photovoltaic energy, to increase the efficiency, and make accessible the photovoltaic to most large number.
Through the unique approach to technological innovation and environmental integration employed at Photowatt, solar power technology is ensured to gain a stronger foothold in the renewable energy market.
