French PV manufacturing startup Carbon has announced plans for its next facility, a research and development (R&D) and training facility in Istres, that it aims to build near the south coast of France.
The facility, dubbed “CARBON Lab”, will receive a €33 million (US$35.5 million) investment into redeveloping and rehabilitating a number of currently unused industrial buildings over a 13.9-hectare area. The facility will be built near its proposed “gigafactory” in Fos-sur-Mer, which the company expects to commission in late 2026.
