Paris, France - SunPower recently completed an 8-megawatt SunPower Power Plant at Total's La Mède refinery in Châteauneuf-les-Martigues, France.
"We commend Total for this forward-thinking, milestone project, and for using high performance SunPower technology to ensure long-term value”, said Tom Werner, SunPower president and CEO.
The SunPower Oasis platform is a fully integrated power plant solution designed to streamline construction, reduce operations and maintenance costs, and maximize value for customers.
