First Solar, Inc. (Nasdaq: FSLR) announced the availability of its thin-film photovoltaic (PV) modules for use in 10-30 kilowatt (kW) PV systems, effective immediately.
Since its market debut in 2002, First Solar and its business partners have focused on commercial PV systems larger than 30 kW (DC). With the introduction of the latest First Solar Series 3 modules, as well as increasing demand for commercial systems below 30kW, First Solar says it’s responding to customer demand by serving this growing market segment.
More than 3 gigawatts (GW) of First Solar modules are already installed world-wide. About one-third are installed in commercial rooftop systems. Typical 10-30kW PV systems installed consist of 125-375 First Solar PV modules, requiring 90-270 square meters of roof space.
"Commercial rooftops in the 10-30kW range represent a multi-gigawatt market globally," said TK Kallenbach, President of First Solar’s Components Business Group. "This expansion gives our customers additional flexibility to serve smaller and medium-sized commercial and industrial rooftops."
First Solar does not sell directly to the public. A list of business partners that are authorized to sell First Solar PV modules as well as design, install, and sell systems using First Solar PV modules can be found at the link below.
