In a significant industry milestone, First Solar’s next-generation Series 7 thin-film modules have been deployed for the first time in India on GameChange Solar’s Genius Tracker™ tracking system. The project, developed by Cleantech Solar and constructed by Jakson Green, is located in Tamil Nadu and has a total planned capacity of 44.8 MWp.
The project's first phase (20.3 MWp) was successfully commissioned in April 2025, marking the debut of the 535-watt Series 7 thin-film module in the Indian utility-scale segment. GameChange Solar’s trackers were selected for their compatibility with the module’s large-format rear frame design, ensuring ease of installation, structural stability, and high energy performance. The second phase (24.5 MWp) is currently under development.
"We are thrilled to see our Series 7 modules powering this landmark project in India," said Sujoy Ghosh, VP-Business Development at First Solar, Inc. "These advanced solar modules are optimized for peak performance in India's hot and humid climate conditions and work seamlessly with GameChange Solar’s Genius Tracker™ tracking system. This project demonstrates our commitment to delivering innovative solutions that support sustainable development and energy independence globally."
