First Solar Series 6 – Original image from the data sheet from October 2021
First Solar Series 6 · Original image of the series

Model already known?

Look for the full first-solar type or rated power in watts.

Assigning first solar types correctly

Synchronize type and document status: FS 2, FS 3, Series 4 and Series 6 have different dimensions and electrical characteristics. Same wattage number does not mean confirmed interchangeability.

Note Suffix: A, -2, -3, -C and -I belong to the respective model identifier. In the CuRe data sheet, XXX explicitly stands for the rated power; the described versions retain their complete suffix.

Half wattage values: Older rows contain for example 77,5 or 117,5 W. You can search with comma or dot and with or without W.

For a request: Helpful are type plate photo, full name, quantity and information about the existing plant. Compatibility and delivery options are checked personally.

Manufacturer's sources: Technical documentation · CdTe technology. The respective original data sheets are directly linked to the models. Source check: 08.11.2026.

Manufacturer information about First Solar

First Solar at a glance

First Solar develops and manufactures photovoltaic modules with Cadmiumtellurid thin-film technology (CdTe). This archive contains older documents of the series FS 2, FS 3, Series 4 and Series 6 including CuRe. It serves the identification of existing plants and the preparation of replacement and data sheet inquiries.

TP ENERGY GmbH is your contact for companies and private customers in Bad Gandersheim. We clarify delivery options, suitable replacement solutions and collection for the specific request.

Read more about First Solar

What characterizes first-solar thin-film modules?

The modules documented here use CdTe or CdS/CdTe thin-layer semiconductors. The older FS-2, FS-3 and Series-4 documents describe frameless glass/glass modules in the format 1.200 × 600 mm. The Series 6 and CuRe documents shown here document larger modules with aluminium frames. The same design or similar watt numbers are not enough to select a replacement module.

Which series and document stands does the archive contain?

FS 2 includes the German data sheet from May 2011. At FS 3 the German stands August 2011 and January 2012 as well as the English BLACK PLUS document from May 2014 are separated. Series 4 contains original documents from October 2014, February 2015, December 2015 and July 2017. For Series 6, September 2018 and October 2021 and CuRe from May 2021 are deposited. Overlapping types in different documents are not additionally claimed hardware generations.

Why are type suffix and document stand important?

An A in the type indicates an anti-reflective design in the respective documents. Series 4 also distinguishes endings such as -2 and -3. The CuRe sheet lists four explicit model patterns: FS-6XXX-C, FS-6XXXA-C, FS-6XXX-C-I and FS-6XXXA-C-I; XXX stands for rated power. The standard and I versions are shown separately due to the documented weights of 34,9 and 34,2 kg respectively. The full type of the existing module is decisive.

How are performance and efficiency indicated?

The variants only take over the explicitly printed STC power levels. Half wattage values such as 77,5 or 117,5 W are maintained. NOCT values are not additional rated power variants. A module efficiency will only appear if the original sheet shows it; it will not be calculated from the module surface. The CuRe sheet shows the module and cell efficiency separately. The overview uses the module efficiency.

Does archive mean that First Solar no longer manufactures modules?

No, no, no. The assignment refers to the selected collection of older documents. It is neither a statement of the manufacturer's business nor a confirmed termination of individual types. Current technical documents run First Solar in its own download area. From an archived data sheet there is no commitment to stock, delivery time or technical interchangeability.

What is required for a replacement or data sheet request?

Select the appropriate document and the complete module type. "Archivfrage" takes over this selection in the central contact form. If necessary, complete the quantity, a photo of the type plate and details of the existing installation. Dimensions, electrical characteristics, connection and attachment shall be checked for the concrete replacement solution. For greater modernisation, please see Repowering; for disused modules under Disposal & recycling.
