• Domestic content qualified: First Solar’s thin film modules are not subject to current U.S. import tariffs that apply to many imported crystalline-silicon (c-Si) modules. Availability exists for modules containing up to 100% domestic content, qualifying projects for the Inflation Reduction Act’s (IRA) domestic content bonus.

• Responsible Solar: From manufacturing to operation to end-of-life recycling, First Solar modules offer the best environmental profile available. Series 6 and Series 7 modules boast the lowest carbon footprint, water footprint, and energy payback time in the industry.

• Technology advantage: Series 6 and Series 7 technology combines First Solar’s thin film cadmium telluride (CdTe) technology with a larger form factor to deliver improved efficiency, enhanced installation velocity, and unmatched lifetime energy performance. The technology is compatible with over 50 BoS providers and works with all inverter types.

• Reliable supply chain: Considered America’s Solar Company, First Solar is expected to reach over 14 GW of annual nameplate vertically integrated nameplate manufacturing capacity across the United States by 2026. In addition to its domestic manufacturing footprint, First Solar operates what is believed to be one of the country’s most extensive domestic solar supply chains.
