First Solar, a U.
S.
-based thin-film photovoltaic (PV) manufacturer, plans to provide 100% renewable power
for its global manufacturing operations by 2028.
First Solar has joined the RE100 program, which brings together companies
that plan to achieve 100% renewable energy supply.
In addition to its 2028 goal, it sets an interim goal to use carbon-free electricity
in all U.
S.
facilities by 2026.
As of the end of 2019, the company had factories in the United States, Malaysia and Vietnam with an annual production capacity of 5.
5 GW of direct current (DC).
Mike Koralewski, head of manufacturing operations, said the shift to long-term, fixed-price green power would reduce the company's exposure to volatile energy prices while supporting the transition
to sustainable energy.
"As part of our strategy, we will work to support the provision of more renewable energy capacity, especially in the renewable energy markets for emerging companies in Malaysia and Vietnam," Koralewski added
.
The company notes that the carbon footprint of its thin-film PV module technology is already six times
lower than that of crystalline silicon PV panels.
It is expected that by 2028, the carbon emissions of its modules will be further reduced by 40%.
