First Solar has secured a 2GW order for its thin-film photovoltaic (PV) modules from Longroad Energy, a US renewable energy developer.
The order will be delivered between 2027 and 2029.
It builds on an existing 3.7GW framework agreement between the two companies, increasing Longroad Energy’s total procurement of First Solar thin film modules to approximately 8GW since 2017.
Michael Alvarez, co-founder and chief operating officer of Longroad Energy, said: “Longroad Energy and First Solar share a longstanding partnership that’s based on shared values and a common vision for a sustainable energy future.
“By expanding our procurement of First Solar’s advanced thin film technology, we are extending our commitment to responsibly produced renewable energy technologies and to American solar manufacturing and domestic value chains.”
Georges Antoun, chief commercial officer at First Solar, added: “We are thrilled that Longroad Energy has decided to underpin its continued growth with First Solar’s technology and look forward to growing this partnership.
“Our ability to deliver certainty of pricing and supply, domestic manufacturing and supply chains, and a responsibly made solar module optimised for energy provides the value customers, such as Longroad, seek.”
