Installations SustainableBusiness.com News 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. Website:
