The alliance between China’s Trinasolar and France’s HoloSolis marks a new breakthrough for solar power production in solar production in Europe. With the recent signing of a licensing agreement, HoloSolis will be able to use Trinasolar’s proprietary TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) technology in its industrial operations on the continent.
This agreement grants access to Trinasolar’s patent portfolio of Trinasolarportfolio, allowing HoloSolis to establish a European production line of photovoltaic modules high performance photovoltaic modules. TOPCon technology is distinguished by its efficiency and reliability, establishing itself as a key solution to accelerate the deployment of large-scale renewable energy.
HoloSolis makes progress on its solar plant in France
The plant that HoloSolis is building in Hambach, Moselle region, is designed to manufacture up to 10 million solar panels annually, representing a capacity of 5 GW. This is equivalent to covering the consumption of one million European households. More than 2,000 direct jobs are expected to be created, along with an industrial revival in eastern France.
This project, backed by investors such as EIT InnoEnergy, seeks to consolidate a resilient, low-carbon solar supply chain within Europe. The incorporation of TOPCon technology reinforces this commitment, as it enables HoloSolis to produce highly energy-efficient panels from the initial phase.
Trinasolar goes from global leader to European ecosystem driver
Trinasolar, with more than 290 GW of modules delivered and thousands of patents registered, reinforces its strategic role in the European solar market. The company not only provides technology, but also promotes local industrialization through agreements that favor regional sustainable development.
The collaboration with HoloSolis goes beyond technology transfer. Both companies are in talks to expand their cooperation in the future, with the aim of strengthening the PV value chain in Europe and supporting the continent’s energy transition plans.
The license to use the TOPCon portfolio represents a concrete step towards regional energy autonomy, at a time when security of supply and decarbonization of the industry are of growing strategic importance.
TOPCon technology validated for large-scale production
TOPCon technology has been industrially validated as a highly scalable platform. Its photovoltaic conversion efficiency and technological maturity make it an ideal foundation for large-capacity plants such as HoloSolis.
With this move, Europe is strengthening its ability to compete on the global stage through local production based on innovation and reliable intellectual property.
