Global Green Energy Solutions Global Leader in Photovoltaic (PV) Solar Modules Maharishi Renewable Energy has a tie-up for First Solar thin film modules. First Solar is the world leader in the manufacturing of photovoltaic solar modules. Combining low cost technology and manufacturing practices with sustainable environment principles, First Solar provides clean, affordable electricity on a global scale, while addressing climate change and energy independence. Sustainable Unique Advantages of First Solar CdTe PV Technology Superior light absorbtion properties resulting in higher output compared to traditional silicon modules under cloudy and diffused light conditions, such as dawn and dusk. Better performance at the high temperatures that modules are subjected to under direct sunlight compared to traditional silicon modules. Enhanced efficiency for production of modules - high volume and low cost. Effective sequestration of cadmium in a stable compound for decades at a time. Faster energy pay back time - the fastest of PV technologies. Smallest carbon footprint among current PV technologies on a life cycle basis. Key Features Produces high energy output across a wide range of climatic conditions with excellent low light response and temperature response coefficient. Proven to perform as predicted with a high Performance Ratio. Frameless laminate is robust, cost effective and recyclable and does not require module grounding. Manufactured in highly automated, state-of-the-art facilities certified to ISO 9001; 2008 and ISO 14001; 2004 quality and environmental management standards. Tested by leading international institutes and certified for reliability and safety: UL 1703 and ULC 1703 listed Certified to IEC 61646 (Class C Fire Rating) Certified to IEC 61730 Eligible CSI PV Module CE Mark FSEC Certified Safety Class II @ 1000 V

Environmental Benefits of First Solar CdTe Technology Like other PV Technologies once deployed, CdTe modules generate electricity with no air emissions, no waste production and no water use. LESS CARBON FOOTPRINT: In fact CdTe technologies have the smallest carbon footprint of all current PV Technologies when measured on a life cycle basis, primarily due to its lower energy used during module production. At least 89% of the air emission on a life cycle basis (Including Carbon dioxide and Cadmium) associated with electricity generation could be prevented if electricity from CdTe PV displaced...
