On track to achieve its 2025 renewable energy goal, Microsoft announced that a new energy-efficient datacenter region in Arizona will offer Microsoft cloud services in 2021 and will be powered by First Solar’s Sun Streams 2 photovoltaic (PV) solar plant.
The facility will power the new Arizona datacenter region with the lowest carbon solar electricity available today using First Solar’s proprietary Series 6 module technology. Designed and developed at the company’s R&D centers in California and Ohio, Series 6 has a carbon footprint that is up to six times lower than conventional crystalline silicon PV panels.
