Solar giant First Solar on December 22, announced the completion of energy company Sempra Generation built with a capacity of 10MW (​​megawatts) of the ground-mounting film solar power plant, located in Nevada, close to the existing 480 MW Sempra natural gas power plants eighty acres away, which is currently the largest in North America thin film solar power plants.

According to El Dorado Energy and Sempra subsidiary 20-year power purchase agreement, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (Pacific Gas and Electric Company, PG & E) will purchase this solar electricity produced by power plants, is expected to January 1, 2009 will be day begins delivery. The project planning by Sempra Generation and First Solar is responsible for the design, procurement and construction (EPC) contractors, and provide monitoring and maintenance services.

This fixed terrestrial solar systems fitted to commence in July this year, and in a short period of time less than six months to complete, First Solar, Ohio plant produced more than one hundred sixty-seven thousand modules. Completed plant will annually produce up to 232,000 kilowatts hours of renewable energy sources. The first phase of construction of solar power plants 10MW, will be further expanded in the same location. Sempra hope next year to expand the existing plant to 60MW.

    Pacific Crest said in a research report, First Solar seems to have reached many mppt solar charge controller companies dream of: consistent with the cost of electricity, which means the cost of solar power to achieve the same cost as conventional electricity. Pacific Crest analyst Mark Bachman was calculated by First Solar energy company Sempra Generation built with a capacity of 12.6MW thin-film solar power plants. He does not put too much emphasis on focusing on investor-per-watt, but the cost per kilowatt-hour.
