First Solar FS Series 2 PV Module

Product catalog summary

Introduction
First Solar FS Series 2 PV Modules are designed for high-performance photovoltaic systems, certified under IEC 61646 and IEC 61730 for systems up to 1000 VDC, and meet Safety Class II requirements. These modules are ideal for large-scale, grid-connected solar power plants, offering cost-effective thin-film solutions.

Warranty
The modules come with a five-year warranty for materials and workmanship, and a power output warranty ensuring 90% of nominal output for the first ten years and 80% for twenty-five years. A collection and recycling program is available at no cost to the module owners.

Electrical Specifications
The modules are available in different models (FS-270 to FS-280) with nominal power ranging from 70W to 80W at standard test conditions (STC). Key electrical parameters include:

Voltage at PMAX (VMPP): 65.5V to 71.2V
Current at PMAX (IMPP): 1.07A to 1.12A
Open Circuit Voltage (VOC): 88.0V to 91.5V
Short Circuit Current (ISC): 1.23A
Maximum System Voltage: 1000V

Temperature coefficients are provided for PMPP, VOC, and ISC.

Mechanical Description
The modules measure 1200mm in length, 600mm in width, and 6.8mm in thickness, with a weight of 12kg. They feature a frameless design with a CdS/CdTe semiconductor and 116 active cells, encapsulated in heat-strengthened glass.

Key Features
The FS Series 2 modules are known for their high energy output across various climatic conditions, excellent temperature response, and high performance ratio. They are manufactured in ISO-certified facilities and are recyclable, with no need for module grounding.

Certifications
The modules are certified to IEC 61646 and IEC 61730, carry the CE Marking, and meet Safety Class II standards at 1000V.
