CARBON announces the launch of CARBON one

During the Choose France summit organized in Versailles by the Presidency of the Republic, CARBON announced the launch of its CARBON one project: a first production unit of 500 MWc, one year ahead of the CARBON gigafactory in Fos-sur-Mer.

Scheduled to be operational by autumn 2025, CARBON one will have a production capacity of 500 MWc, approximately 10% of the future capacity of the gigafactory. The outcome: 1 million photovoltaic panels produced annually and 200 direct and sustainable jobs. One year before the commissioning of Europe’s largest integrated gigafactory (late 2026), CARBON one will be a true accelerator for the CARBON project:

👉 An industrial accelerator: CARBON one will serve as a pilot unit, essential for any industrial project of this scale, to test, refine, and optimize production processes (automation, robotics, digitalization, etc.).

👉 A commercial accelerator: it will meet the increasing demand for Made in France photovoltaic panels, driven by ongoing regulatory developments, in line with the recent signing of the Solar Pact.

👉 An ecosystem accelerator: CARBON one will foster the integration of CARBON within its ecosystem, facilitating the establishment of long-term partnerships with suppliers (raw materials and equipment), research centers, etc.
