First Solar Series 6
REPlantSolutions, an Arizona start-up founded by First Solar alumni, launched this week to support the needs of solar developers and asset owners with field-proven solutions under license from First Solar.
“We have brought together some of the most experienced technologists in the industry to lead the transition to dispatchable, cost-optimized solar,” said Dr. Mahesh Morjaria, co-founder and chief executive officer, REPlantSolutions.
REPlantSolutions will supply power plant controls (PPC), and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems to enable grid friendly power plants. It will also supply a DC Trunk Bus solution for PV modules from First Solar as well as other manufacturers to optimize DC collection. These solutions will now be available to the broader solar industry.
“As utility-scale solar takes on an even larger role in generating America’s electricity, REPlantSolutions will help enable the vision of grid-flexible solar at scale,” said Raffi Garabedian, chief technology officer, First Solar. “We are excited for our former colleagues, and wish them well as they embark on this new enterprise.”
