HoloSolis SAS, a company founded in 2022 by EIT InnoEnergy, IDEC GROUP and TSE, is planning to set up a production line for PV solar cells and modules near the Franco-German border in the Sarreguemines district. The production line is scheduled to go into operation in 2025 and will have a production capacity of five GW per year at full capacity.
Based on a strategic cooperation agreement signed this summer, the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE will support HoloSolis in technology selection and factory planning during the conceptual design and construction phase.
The aim of the collaboration is to build cost-effective and efficient PV modules in Europe based on TOPCon solar cells. Production is to be gradually ramped up to 10 million photovoltaic modules per year, with products for the private and commercial PV market. Sustainability in terms oflow CO2 production, high product recyclability and high social standards are an integral part of the factory concept.
