It will combine First Solar’s thin-film CdTe modules with GE’s new ProSolar 1,500-volt inverter/transformer system.

First Solar has integrated new technology into its modules and optimized them for 1,500-volt DC applications. Combined with GE’s 4-megawatt (MW) ProSolar 1,500-volt inverter/transformer stations, this development enables power plant engineering design that significantly increases the size of the solar array served by each inverter, the companies say.
