Reinecke + Pohl Sun Energy AG and First Solar have signed a contract for the delivery of additional volume of thin-film modules under the scope of their existing agreements through 2012. The volume allows for additional system level and project revenue of more than 200 million EUR for RPSE in the coming five years.
'With the agreed volume we strengthen our position as one of the leading suppliers of thin-film solar power plants', says Thorsten Preugschas, member of the Executive Board of Reinecke + Pohl Sun Energy AG.
According to market experts, demand for thin-film modules will increase above average in the coming years. The reasons are seen in a more favourable price-performance ratio as well as better efficiency in diffuse light, which leads in temperate zones often to higher energy output. Due to the also advantageous temperature coefficient of First Solar modules, demand also increases in Southern European countries.
About First Solar
First Solar, Inc. manufactures solar modules with an advanced thin film semiconductor process that significantly lowers solar electricity costs. By enabling clean renewable electricity at affordable prices, First Solar provides an economic alternative to peak conventional electricity and the related fossil fuel dependence, greenhouse gas emissions and peak time grid constraints.
