What are the environmental benefits of First Solar’s thin film PV technology?
As part of our commitment to environmental excellence, First Solar looks at all stages of our product’s life cycle using two important measurements: • Carbon footprint – the amount of carbon dioxide emissions emitted over the life cycle of the product • Energy payback time – the time it takes to generate the same amount of energy it took to produce the system First Solar systems have the smallest carbon footprint and fastest energy payback time of current PV technologies.
