Suntech Power Holdings, a manufacturer of photovoltaic cells and modules, has signed an agreement with Hanau Energies to supply a 4.5MW building integrated photovoltaic system to a farm located in Alsace, France.

The project will employ Suntech's 'Just Roof' modules to form complete weatherproof roofs on five agricultural warehouses on a farm in the Alsace region of France. The 4.5MW installation is anticipated to be completed by January 2009 with an additional 1MW already being planned.

Zhengrong Shi, chairman and CEO of Suntech, said: "This project is a very significant milestone in the development of the French solar market and for building integrated photovoltaic system (BIPV) in particular. We are extremely pleased that Suntech's market leading 'Just Roof' system has been selected.

"We are experiencing great demand for our high-quality MSK Solar Design Line of BIPV products all around the world as architects, homeowners and commercial end-users increasingly recognize the aesthetic and power generation benefits of integrating solar into buildings."
