US Solar Panel Giant Continues to Secure Major Orders
First Solar, the largest solar panel maker in the US, has secured a major order to supply North American wholesale power producer Capital Power with 1 gigawatt (GW) of ultra-low carbon thin film solar modules. The modules, which use First Solar's thin-film cadmium telluride technology, have up to 19% efficiency and a 30-year warranty. This order will contribute to First Solar's ongoing expansion plans, which include increasing its US manufacturing capacity to around 10.9 GW by 2026.
