First Solar recently launched its modular AC Power Block solar power plant solution and its next generation Series 4 thin film PV module.
Built for power plant owners and developers seeking to minimize project risk and maximize energy production and revenue, the AC Power Block is a configurable system solution that can be scaled to address a wide range of project conditions. The pre-engineered system is available in modular units ranging from 800 kW to 3.8 MW. Based on First Solar’s PV plant design and energy prediction model, the AC Power Block is backed by an industry-leading first year energy performance guarantee and a 25-year capacity warranty.
The new Series 4 PV module offers up to 8% more energy than conventional crystalline silicon modules with the same power rating, and is compatible with advanced 1500V plant architectures. The Series 4A variant features a new anti-reflective coated glass, which enhances energy production. The module is backed by First Solar’s 25-year Linear Performance Warranty.
“What matters most to our customers is reliable energy output achieved through proven technology,” says Thomas Kuster, First Solar senior vice president of product management. “The AC Power Block and the Series 4 module are designed to deliver on those expectations. As solar energy secures its place in the global energy mix, these offerings demonstrate First Solar’s ability to deliver solutions that address our customers’ specific needs.”
