While the scope of the supply agreement was not revealed, the announcement confirms that First Solar’s Cadmium Telluride thin-film modules are working well in Clean Energy Collective’s (CEC) existing projects, and reinforces First Solar’s commitment to the community solar market.

Colorado-based CEC is the leading player in the still-tiny but potential-rich community solar market in the US, in which developers build solar “gardens” – typically ranging from several hundred kilowatts to a few megawatts – and then sell fractional shares to consumers on a per-module basis.
