The system aids high-volume power generation in regions with high direct normal irradiation (DNI) and allows for a 30% power-generating efficiency besides reducing installation and maintenance costs.

Soitec Solar Energy division Solar Projects Development vice president José Beriot remarked that Soitec’s technology is ideal for Italy’s solar initiatives as it provides the highest power-generating efficiency.

"We are committed to have a competitive offering in Italy and we are currently looking into integrating more and more local content.

"Soitec’s industrial manufacturing capacity and supply chain in Europe, with its fully automated solar-module factory in Freiburg, Germany, has proven to be a reliable and flexible infrastructure to ensure competitiveness and security of supply in Europe," added Bériot.
