This installation is in line with the company’s planning to renovate its 188,000sq ft rooftop and ensure maximum waterproofing.

The company said that this is the second installation for Nazca in France.

Solyndra president EMEA and corporate senior vice president Clemens Jargon said that this particular Solyndra system provides more than 77% net photovoltaic roof coverage and maximizes power density.

Solyndra’s non-penetrating mounting system, with no ballast, allowed Nazca to design a system that generated significant power without requiring additional engineering.

The system, installed on a new, white reflective PVC membrane, consisted of more than 6800 Solyndra panels and will generate 1500MWh/year of photovoltaic electricity.
