Manufacture

Manufacture, expertise incorporated by Tenesol

Many solar power companies do not manufacture their modules themselves. At Tenesol, we decided to incorporate this key stage in 1999, to give us full control over the photovoltaic chain and to stay at the cutting edge of technology.
With two module manufacturing plants - one in France (Toulouse) and the other in South Africa (Cape Town), we have regularly increased our production capacities over the years.
In 2010, to meet growing demand, we increased our production capacities to 170 MWp, i.e. the equivalent of 800,000 photovoltaic modules a year.

Integrated manufacturer: guaranteed reliability and efficiency

This key step means increased reliability and efficiency for your systems. Our modules are guaranteed for ten years. We also guarantee the production of our photovoltaic panels to 80% of the power over 25 years and 90% of the power over ten years.
