About
First Solar, Inc. is a leading American solar technology company and global provider of photovoltaic (PV) solar energy solutions. The company manufactures thin-film solar modules using advanced semiconductor technology and provides utility-scale PV power plants and supporting services. Unlike many competitors, First Solar is vertically integrated, controlling the manufacturing process from raw materials to finished modules. The company's technology uses cadmium telluride (CdTe) thin film, which offers advantages in high-temperature environments and low-light conditions. First Solar primarily serves utility-scale solar developers and operators rather than residential customers.
