Tokyo-based solar energy company Toyo has entered into a strategic partnership with French solar panel manufacturer Voltec Solar.
Under the terms of the agreement, Toyo, which specializes in the production of TOPCon solar cells, will become the official solar cell supplier of Voltec Solar. This step marks the entry of the Japanese company into the European market.
A statement published by Toyo said the partnership leverages its high-performance, low-carbon cell technology, which recently saw Voltec Solar become a certification of the carbon footprint for four of its solar panels from the French laboratory Certisolis. Due to the certification, the panels are eligible for reduced VAT.
Toyo’s statement adds that the partnership demonstrates its “willingness to integrate into global supply chains and support European manufacturers seeking certified, climate-focused solar technologies.”
In April, Toyo announced that it had begun production 2 GW TOPCon solar cell installation in Ethiopia. The company also has a 4 GW The TOPCon solar cell factory in Vietnam, which was put into operation at the end of 2023. The company announced this in September bought the VSUN brand of its sister company, Vietnam Sunergy Joint Stock Company.
Voltec Solar recently unveiled hail resistant solar panels that have received the highest certification available based on the European Hail Index.
