    First Solar Vietnam held a welcoming ceremony to receive the first equipment for manufacturing its latest, high-technology Series 6 photovoltaic (PV) module. The Series 6 product will debut with an anticipated 445-watt generation capacity and 18% conversion efficiency.
     
    The delivery was a primary component for a Vapor Transport Deposition (VTD) coater, the machine that applies semiconductor material to glass. Once fully assembled, the equipment will be at 60.4m (L) X 10.2m (W) X 5.1m (H) and weighs almost 29 tons.
     
    “As First Solar launches its new Series 6 module, we are proud to have the two newest manufacturing facilities here in Vietnam,” said Chan See Chong, First Solar Vietnam’s managing director. “The arrival of this key piece of equipment here in Dong Nam marks the beginning of a new era for First Solar manufacturing.”
     
    The recent injection of an additional US$360 million capital investment into the construction of the second 1.2GW high-tech factory brought First Solar’s total investment capital in Vietnam to US$830 million. With preliminary module production expected to start in Q4 2018, the two factories will produce 2.4GW of First Solar’s Series 6 modules annually when fully operational.
