Product catalog summary
Introduction
First Solar's Series 6™ represents the next generation of thin-film solar technology, offering more energy per module compared to traditional 72-cell silicon modules. With a power output of over 420 watts, these modules are designed to deliver superior performance in various environmental conditions.

Specifications
The Series 6 modules feature a high-power photovoltaic design with a nominal power range from 420 to 445 watts and efficiency between 17% and 18%. The modules are constructed with a thin-film CdTe semiconductor and include an anodized aluminum frame and anti-reflective coated glass.

Innovative Design
The modules incorporate an under-mount frame for easy installation and dual junction boxes for optimized connections. This design also facilitates cleaning and snow-shedding, protecting the module edges and allowing horizontal stacking.

Reliability and Environmental Performance
Series 6 modules are manufactured using proven methods from Series 4, ensuring long-term reliability. They are independently tested to exceed IEC standards in extreme conditions. The modules boast the fastest energy payback time and the smallest carbon and water footprint in the industry.

Warranty
The modules come with a 25-year linear performance warranty and a 10-year limited product warranty, ensuring sustained power output and product integrity over time.

Mechanical and Electrical Characteristics
The modules measure 2009mm in length, 1232mm in width, and 48.5mm in thickness, with a weight of 35kg. They are designed to withstand wind loads of 2400Pa and snow loads of 5400Pa. Electrical ratings include a maximum system voltage of 1500V and a limiting reverse current of 6.0A.

Certifications and Tests
Series 6 modules are certified under IEC 61215 & 61730, UL 1703, and other regional certifications, ensuring compliance with international standards for safety and performance.

Packaging and Installation
Modules are packaged 26 per pallet, with dimensions of 2200 x 1300 x 115mm and a pallet weight of 1025kg. Installation is recommended in portrait orientation only.

Conclusion
First Solar's Series 6™ modules offer a robust solution for solar energy production, combining high efficiency, innovative design, and environmental sustainability with industry-leading warranties and certifications.
