en.Wedoany.com Reported - Renewable Properties LLC, a developer and investor focused on small-scale utility, community solar, energy storage, and electric vehicle infrastructure, has recently procured 118 MW of Series 7 thin-film PV modules from First Solar Inc.'s U.S. manufacturing facilities. These American-made modules will be used in solar projects the company is developing and constructing across 17 states.
In terms of specific allocation, 51 MW of modules will be used for 9 projects in California, 20 MW for 4 projects in New York, 8 MW for 3 projects in Illinois, 2 MW for 2 projects in Minnesota, and the remaining 37 MW will be allocated to other projects under management.
Aaron Halimi, Founder and CEO of Renewable Properties, stated: "Procuring these modules from First Solar will support our continued efforts to advance solar energy in the United States. By ensuring the use of domestically manufactured equipment for these multi-state projects, we are positioned to expand solar deployment at a time when electricity demand is growing rapidly and the solar industry faces new challenges." He added that American-made solar panels are critical to U.S. energy security, and domestic procurement reflects confidence in American manufacturing and its workforce.
First Solar currently operates module manufacturing facilities in Alabama, Louisiana, and Ohio. Its sixth factory, currently under construction in South Carolina, is expected to commence production in the second half of 2026, which is anticipated to increase First Solar's U.S. nominal module capacity to approximately 17 GW by 2027.
Dr. Mounir El Asmar, Head of Strategic Accounts at First Solar, stated: "True American solar manufacturing directly contributes to U.S. energy security. By investing in domestically produced modules, Renewable Properties is putting this principle into practice, delivering affordable energy to communities nationwide while supporting American manufacturing, supply chains, and jobs."
