First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ: FSLR) saw some unusual support today, while the broad market was weak, based upon comments from Solarhybrid in Germany. The developer has said that it wants First Solar to be its supplier for two solar farms it is seeking in California. The size of these farms are expected to each be “large” enough to move the needle. While the NASDAQ closed down almost 2%, First Solar closed up 3.5% at $45.61 on over 5.4 million shares.
