Neoen has entrusted Clemessy with the operation and maintenance of the solar plant. Construction began in November 2014 and the power station was commissioned in October 2015. The park was officially opened on 1 December 2015 . The power station is directly linked to the electricity transmission network.
First phase of 380 MW completed in June 2016. Up to 2,000 MW when complete. At full build-out, it will be one of the world's largest PV solar farms with a capacity of about 440 MWp. The Cestas Solar Park is a 300 MW photovoltaic power station in Cestas, France. 100MW Phase 1 and 200MW Phase 2.
When it opened on 1 December 2015, Cestas Solar Park was the largest solar photovoltaic power station in Europe . Located in Cestas, to the south of Bordeaux, it spans 260 hectares (640 acres) and produces 300 MWp. When it opened, Cestas was Europe's largest solar park. The power station comprises a million polycristalline silicon modules.
Thus, a 1 MW solar power plant with crystalline panels (about 18% efficiency) will require about 4 acres, while the same plant with thin film technology (12% efficiency) will require about 6 acres. The area required by thin film panels is about 50% more than that for the crystalline, as the latter are about 50% more efficient than the former.
The solar panels at Cestas, which represent 45% of the overall cost of the project, were supplied by the world's top three manufacturers (Yingli Solar, Trina Solar and Canadian Solar), at the time the only companies able to supply the required volume and homogeneity.
The capacity of solar farms included ranges from hundreds to thousands of megawatts. The project has been developed in multiple phases over time since 2011, rather than as a single initiative. One of the phases includes a site dedicated to testing 100 MW of various solar panel designs.
