Scout Clean Energy to buy 378 MW of modules straight from First Solar

Renewable energy developer Scout Clean Energy has agreed to purchase 378 MW of First Solar modules for use on several U.S. projects with expected completion dates of 2024.

“We’re excited to partner with First Solar as we continue to develop and grow our portfolio of solar PV assets across the US. This deal reflects our confidence not just in the technology, but in First Solar itself,” said Michael Rucker, founder and CEO of Scout Clean Energy. “Sourcing our modules from a US-based supply partner at this challenging time solidifies our competitive advantage in meeting our customers urgent timing needs for solar power to meet their decarbonization goals. As we diversify Scout’s asset base and grow our solar portfolio, we want to source our panels through partners that we can trust to deliver with no compromise on quality, ethical sourcing of raw materials and who is committed to ongoing innovation. First Solar readily satisfies those critical criteria for Scout.”

First Solar has also inked several solar module supply agreements with other U.S. developers, including Silicon Ranch, Origis Energy and Lightsource bp.
