First Solar and Lend Lease just announced that they have signed a new supply agreement. Under the contract, first Solar will supply Lend Lease with 10 MW worth of solar panels, starting right away. Lend Lease will use these panels in the construction of homes in Australia.

In a press release, executives from both companies commented on the deal:

“We are pleased to be working with First Solar, one of the leading solar companies, and to be entering the solar procurement market. This relationship allows us to meet the growing demands in renewable energy for our clients and ensures that solar energy is a consideration on every project. We look forward to working together on future opportunities.”

“First Solar’s panels are perfectly suited for Australia’s climate because they perform better than other PV technologies in high temperatures,” Costantino said.

“First Solar is proud to work with Lend Lease, a company that is clearly dedicated to sustainable solutions,” said John Carrington, First Solar executive vice president of marketing and business development. “We are pleased they have chosen our technology for these projects. Together, we are investing in Australia’s green energy future.”
