First Solar’s next-generation Series 7 thin-film modules have been deployed for the first time in India on GameChange Solar’s Genius Tracker™ tracking system.
The project, developed by Cleantech Solar and constructed by Jakson Green, is located in Tamil Nadu and has a total planned capacity of 44.8 MWp, a release by GameChanger Solar said.
The project’s first phase (20.3 MWp) was successfully commissioned in April 2025, marking the debut of the 535-watt Series 7 thin-film module in the Indian utility-scale segment. The second phase (24.5 MWp) is currently under development.
GameChange Solar’s trackers were selected for their compatibility with the module’s large-format rear frame design, ensuring ease of installation, structural stability, and high energy performance, the release noted.
“We are thrilled to see our Series 7 modules powering this landmark project in India,” said Sujoy Ghosh, VP-Business Development at First Solar, Inc. “These advanced solar modules are optimized for peak performance in India’s hot and humid climate conditions and work seamlessly with GameChange Solar’s Genius Tracker™ tracking system. This project demonstrates our commitment to delivering innovative solutions that support sustainable development and energy independence globally.”
“At Jakson Green, we are glad to be part of this landmark project, which sets a new benchmark for utility-scale solar in India. The trackers from GameChange Solar can prove to be a pivotal component in maximizing energy yield.,” said K Krishnan, Joint Managing Director, Jakson Green.
“This milestone reflects how rapidly solar technology is evolving and how prepared we are to meet that shift head-on,” said Vikas Bansal, President – International at GameChange Solar. “As the industry embraces new module formats like First Solar’s Series 7, the real differentiator lies in how quickly and reliably we can adapt. This project is a strong example of that readiness and the kind of collaboration that will define the future of utility-scale solar.”
