Maxeon Solar Technologies Converts a Global Luxury Group's New Logistics Hub into a 12.7-Megawatt Solar Powerhouse

Maxeon Solar Technologies, Ltd., a world leader in solar innovation and channels, announced a significant new flagship installation today. Maxeon's advanced solar technology will power the newly constructed international logistics hub of the global luxury group Kering, which handles the development of several renowned Houses in Fashion, Leather Goods, Jewelry, and Watches. The installation in Trecate, Northern Italy, is expected to be one of Europe's largest rooftop PV systems once completed in August 2021, with a peak output of 12.7 megawatts (MW).

The Trecate rooftop array, which will be installed on two adjacent buildings, will span a total area of more than 55,160 square meters. Maxeon estimates that the project will offer over 13.5 GWh of clean power and reduce more than 7,500 tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually, with over 31,000 SunPower brand solar panels providing a total of 12.7 MWp when completed. The hub is designed to be energy positive, producing more energy than it consumes.

Techbau, a sustainable building developer and general contractor, selected SunPower Premier Partner Kennew, with headquarters in Bergamo, Italy, to design and install the solar system featuring SunPower Maxeon solar panel technology.
