Silicon Ranch and First Solar are expanding their 4GW master supply agreement, announced in April 2022.
Decarbonized production
Silicon Ranch and First Solar are expanding a partnership announced in April 2022. As a result, Silicon Ranch is getting an additional 700MW of advanced thin-film solar photovoltaic modules. These 700MW are designed and developed in the United States.
In 2015, Silicon Ranch and First Solar were already expanding their partnership. This allowed the company to become the first owner-operator of photovoltaic plants. In addition, the company is using First Solar’s technologies for projects in the southeastern United States.
The goal of the partnership is to increase domestic supply by deploying lower carbon production processes. In this way, the company supports innovation, allowing the creation of many jobs. The company is developing the security of its technology and improving its carbon footprint.
Multiple partnerships
Reagan Farr, co-founder and CEO of Silicon Ranch, states:
“One of our guiding principles at Silicon Ranch is that we choose the right way rather than the easy way to get the job done, and this agreement with First Solar represents the” right way for our module supply.”
In addition to its partnerships with First Solar, Silicon Ranch is announcing new partnerships with strategic U.S. companies, including Nextracker. A partnership that will allow the company to improve the carbon footprint of its tracker supply.
Silicon Ranch is a full-service provider of customized renewable energy solutions. The company develops battery storage for a diverse set of partners across North America. In addition, it has the largest agro-voltaic portfolio in the country.
First Solar is a leader in solar technology and a global supplier of solar modules. The company’s advanced thin film modules represent the next generation of technology. Finally, they offer a competitive alternative to conventional solar panels.
