Historically present since 1972 in the photovoltaic industry with its subsidiary Total Énergie Développement (TED), Total Group has been deeply involved across the solar value chain. In 2011, Total became one of the world’s premiere solar players with the acquisition of a majority stake in SunPower, a U.S. manufacturer of high-tech solar equipment (photovoltaic panels and load-bearing structures following the course of the sun).Total Solar was created in 2017 as a subsidiary of Total Group to be present in the development, financing, construction and operation of photovoltaic projects around the world to fulfill the group’s ambition in low-carbon energies. As we are active around the world, we are in a position to roll out projects in multiple sites across several countries and/or regions at the same time.
AboutTotal Solar02
5 TOTAL SOLAR: HARNESSING THE ENERGY OF THE FUTURE
Total’s first Japanese solar power station was built in Nanao, in March 2017. This 25-hectares solar farm’s 80,000 high-efficiency solar panels power 9,000 homes in the country.
Total, which has been active in South Africa for 50 years, was chosen to build and operate one of Africa’s largest ground-mounted solar farms in Prieska, Northern Cape. This 75 MW farm has been powering about 75,000 South African homes since 2016.

The First Utility-Scale Solar Power Plant in the Middle East
Shams 1 was launched in 2008 as a partnership between Total with a 20% stake, Abu Dhabi’s Masdar with 60% and Abengoa with 20%. Inaugurated in March 2013 and located in Abu Dhabi, Shams 1 is the first utility scale commercial solar plant in the Middle East in operation, supplying 110 megawatts of clean energy directly into the UAE national grid, generating enough power to supply 20,000 homes.
The project uses parabolic mirrors spread over an area of 2.5 square kilometers generating 80% of its power from the sun, while the remaining percentage comes from natural gas.

With the goal of diversifying the energy mix, the UAE’s smart initiatives include encouraging building owners to install photovoltaic solar modules.04 Solar Energy
in the UAEUAE Goal: 50%* of its energy from cleansources by 2050The authorities in the UAE have launched smart initiatives that encourage building owners to install photovoltaic solar modules that generate electricity from solar power. The net metering scheme goal is to diversify the energy mix by promoting the use of clean, renewable energy sources to build a sustainable future for the Emirates. The electricity is used on-site and the surplus is exported to the grid network and credited for future needs.

Total offers the highest HSE and Quality standards Safety is our overarching prioritySafety is a core value at Total Solar, and for everyone else in the group. We factor it into every operational and strategic decision we make. We have embedded safety in all of our everyday processes to do that. And everyone - our managers, employees, business partner and local stakeholders - share the same goal.
Health, Safety and EnvironmentTotal Solar applies the most stringent HSE standards at every phase - from the environmental assessment to design and construction and on to recovery and recycling at the end of a plant’s life-around the world. At our request, our PV suppliers have joined PV Cycle, a certified organization that processes used photovoltaic modules and recycles defective modules or systems at the end of their life.
Our HSE policy cascades into detailed and structured operational processes: we identify risks, prevent them, provide training, embark processes on continuous improvement cycles and track progress. Keeping people healthy and safe, and keeping the environment clean, is everyone’s job.
Ecosolutions-Certified ModulesTotal Solar can supply the most efficient and environmentally-friendly solutions on the market. And we can do that because we can integrate our affiliate SunPower’s photovoltaic technology into our solutions. These modules generate 40% less CO2.
Total introduced this certification mechanism in 2009 to endorse all group products and services that combine average or higher quality standards with below-average environmental impacts. Total Ecosolutions complies with all ISO 14020 and 14021 requirements and its certification mechanism has been accredited by an independent expert.
