Headquartered in Phoenix, AZ Fiscal year ends December NASDAQ: FSLR firstsolar.com
First Solar, Inc. is a photovoltaic (PV) solar technology and manufacturing company and the only U.S.-headquartered company among the world's largest solar manufacturers.
It designs and produces thin film PV solar modules based on cadmium telluride (CdTe) semiconductor technology. These modules are an alternative to conventional crystalline silicon modules, primarily for utility-scale power generation. The modules are made in a fully integrated, continuous process that does not rely on Chinese crystalline silicon supply chains. Its technology is developed at R&D labs in California and Ohio, and the company is implementing technology improvements such as its Copper Replacement (CuRe) program.
First Solar sells modules to third parties under long-term contracts and held a contracted backlog of 44.0 GW as of September 30, 2026. It operates significant U.S. manufacturing capacity and is expanding it. The company benefits from Section 45X advanced manufacturing production tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act, as amended by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025, and is exposed to U.S. trade policy including Section 232 actions, tariffs and IEEPA tariff refunds. It also operates a module collection and recycling program. Updated
First Solar cut its full-year volume outlook to 16.0 to 17.0 GW, so the EPS beat rested on cost of sales falling to $517.9 million rather than demand. A new $500 million buyback is the offset management is offering.
