Setting the Benchmark in Thin Film Technology
For more than 20 years, First Solar has pushed the leading edge of PV thin film technology to boost efficiency and lower the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE). Now, First Solar Series 6 CuRe modules, with optimized design and true semiconductor innovation, deliver the lowest warranted degradation rate and highest lifetime energy for large-scale solar projects.
Series 6 CuRe modules deliver up to 4.5% more energy in year 1, and up to 10.5% more energy over their lifetime when compared to the leading bifacial c-Si modules.
First Solar technology advantages:
- More MWh per Installed MW
- Superior Temperature Coefficient and Spectral Response
- Better Shading Response
- Inherent Immunity to Cell Cracking, LiD and LeTID failure modes that affect c-Si modules
