French startup Heliup has commissioned a 100 MW solar panel factory in Le Cheylas, southeastern France , to produce lightweight solar panels specifically designed for flat commercial and industrial (C&I) rooftops with limited load-bearing capacity.

This innovation addresses the challenge of installing solar panels on buildings with structural limitations, contributing to Europe’s decarbonization goals.
