most abundant energy resource - sunlight. We are proud to have been part of effort and look forward to continuing our partnership with Photosol and First Solar,” says Luis Pedro Marques, Managing Director of Jayme da Costa Energie.
“These projects collectively represent a significant boost to Photosol’s installed capacity as this young, dynamic company continues to build on its successes,” explains Stefan Degener, First Solar’s Director of Business Development for Europe. “I would like to thank our partners at Photosol and Jayme da Costa for the trust they’ve placed in us; their decision to use our advanced thin-film modules is testament to the technology’s suitability to utility-scale solar power plants in a wide variety of conditions.”
First Solar has had a full-fledged European presence since 2004, and it continues to be a big player in the region’s utility-scale PV market. As a result of this deal, the company’s installed capacity in Continental Europe now exceeds 4GW, equivalent to the electricity generated by approximately four nuclear power plants. Its modules power an estimated 1 million homes across the region, while displacing over 1.2 million metric tons of greenhouse gases, based on European Union averages, per year.
CIGS expert XsunX adds 50kW to solar projects
The company has launched a media campaign targeting the southern California region
XsunX has announced adding 50kW in signed projects to its growing PV system development and installation services pipeline. The company is focused on signing more solar contracts before year end.
“We are very excited about the rapid progress we have been making, and announcing 50kW in new projects just adds to our momentum,” states XsunX CEO, Tom Djokovich.
The company has been working to develop solar projects for a diverse set of clients ranging from professional service companies, to ranch land, to large scale industrial reclamation. XsunX has been working directly with new business clients to document the financial benefits available from solar for their businesses.
To help expand and accelerate the growth of the company’s PV system development and installation services business, XsunX has launched a media marketing campaign which targets major Southern
Soitec, a developer of semiconductor materials for the electronics and energy industries, and CEA-Leti have renewed their long-standing and fruitful partnership for the next five years.
This new contract aims to support Soitec’s strategy for the electronics, solar energy and lighting markets. It will focus on engineered substrates and materials offering higher performances and energy savings at a competitive cost.
The partnership is putting in place an R&D ecosystem aiming to reduce research to product time to market.
Thanks to the strengths of CEA-Leti in electronic materials, multi-domain research and its pre-

California communities ranging from Ventura to the Inland Empire, LA, Orange County and portions of San Diego county. This market represents one of the largest commercial PV system markets in the country and thousands of potential commercial PV system clients for XsunX.
“The message and the reality is that solar has become far more than just a way to cut utility costs. A commercial PV system can provide clients with a 100 percent cash value return on their investment in as little as three years, and well in excess of a 1000 percent return on every dollar invested over the life of the system,” concludes Djokovich.
