Our Client: First Solar |
First Solar is a provider of utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) power plants and operates many of the world’s largest grid-connected PV power plants. Their thin-film PV technology produces more electrical power with half the carbon footprint of conventional solar technology. To continue their efforts to provide solar power with minimal economic and environmental costs, First Solar is seeking assistance from the Bren School of Environmental Science and Management to assess the feasibility and environmental costs and benefits of combining utility-scale battery storage systems with grid-connected PV power plants.
