Now selling its thin film solar panels into the distributed generation market the utility scale solar pioneer and specialist is going small.
Thin film solar panels first solar.
A thin film solar cell is a second generation solar cell that is made by depositing one or more thin layers or thin film tf of photovoltaic material on a substrate such as glass plastic or metal.
Trump s tariff is on imported crystalline silicon photovoltaic pv cells and modules.
After decades of avoiding distributed generation its distributors will now offer first solar s series 6 modules to projects and customers of all shapes and sizes.
First solar s advanced thin film photovoltaic pv modules are manufactured using less energy water and semiconductor material resulting in the best environmental profile in the industry.
Significantly more energy in real world conditions.
All pv technologies are not created equal.
First solar changes course.
The most sustainable solar pv technology.
Pv solar plants using first solar s advanced thin film series 4 modules enjoy better energy yield proven reliability and industry leading durability.
Thin film solar cells are commercially used in several technologies including cadmium telluride cdte copper indium gallium diselenide cigs and amorphous thin film silicon a si tf si.
First solar is a leading global provider of comprehensive photovoltaic pv solar solutions which use its advanced module and system technology.
First solar s series 6 pv module sets a new industry benchmark for reliability design and environmental performance while generating more energy per module than competing technologies.
Because first solar panels are thin film panels based on cadmium telluride technology it does not see any negative impact from the tariff.
The company s integrated power plant solutions deliver an economically attractive alternative to fossil fuel electricity generation today.
