Product catalog summary
Introduction
First Solar Series 6™ Thin Film Modules represent the next generation of solar technology, offering more watts per module compared to traditional silicon modules. These modules are designed for large-scale solar projects, providing higher energy output and efficiency.
Key Features
  • Higher Power Output: Delivers over 420 watts per module, surpassing the typical 400 watts of 72-cell silicon modules.
  • Reduced Shipping Costs: The under-mount frame allows for horizontal stacking, optimizing shipping density and reducing breakage.
  • Environmental Efficiency: Series 6 modules have the smallest CO2 footprint, lowest water use, and fastest energy payback in the industry.
  • Reduced Maintenance Costs: The frameless design simplifies cleaning and maintenance.
Design and Benefits
  • Innovative Under-Mount Frame: Enhances shading response and reduces power loss, impacting only the shaded area.
  • Long-Term Reliability: Built with proven methods from Series 4, tested for performance in extreme conditions.
  • Superior Temperature Coefficient: Features a low temperature coefficient of -0.32%/˚C, providing more energy in hot climates.
  • Real-World Performance: Offers up to 8% more energy per watt installed compared to conventional silicon modules.
Installation and Cost Efficiency
  • Lower Installation Costs: Designed for quick, two-person installation with versatile mounting options.
  • Dual Junction Boxes: Simplifies module-to-module connections, reducing wire management needs.
Partnership and Innovation
  • Collaborative Design: Developed with input from mounting structure providers to optimize installation and cost-efficiency.
  • Bankability: First Solar is recognized for its strong financial backing and reliable performance, making it a trusted energy partner.
Conclusion
First Solar Series 6 modules offer a superior return on investment with higher yields, reduced risk, and a lower Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE). For more information, visit firstsolar.com/S6 or contact [email protected].

THE ADVANTAGE OF COLLABORATIVE DESIGN Developing next-generation technology required a nextgeneration approach. First Solar launched an extensive listening campaign with leading mounting structure providers, our partners in the field, to identify controlling factors that would help define maximum watts-per-lift while retaining two-person installation teams. We also turned to these partners for direct input on every aspect of the module to ensure we designed and built a superior product for the market. The result is a module that will have among the lowest costs per-watt-installed in the market,...
