Business Description
Founded in 1999 and based in Phoenix, Arizona, First Solar is an American manufacturer of solar panels that uses a specialized thin-film technology to convert sunlight into electricity. Unlike most competitors, the company produces its panels using cadmium telluride rather than traditional silicon, which offers distinct performance and cost advantages. First Solar sells its products to power developers, utility companies, and large businesses across the United States and several international markets including France, India, and Chile.
