First Solar Inc. and a subsidiary of Silicon Ranch Corp. have entered into a framework agreement for 231.6 MW of First Solar’s thin-film modules for use in Silicon Ranch projects to be built in 2017 and early 2018.
First Solar notes this deal builds on previous agreements for more than 180 MW of modules used in Silicon Ranch projects in Colorado, Georgia, Mississippi, Arkansas and Tennessee. Similar to some of those installations, the new projects may also employ First Solar’s balance-of-system solutions, including the company’s single-axis tracker.
Silicon Ranch plans to begin to take delivery of the first modules under this agreement in the first quarter of 2017 and will continue to supply its projects until the first quarter of 2018.
