First Solar Shines with Strong Earnings, Bets Big on US Manufacturing
First Solar (FSLR) concluded 2025 with robust financial results, reporting $5.2 billion in net sales, fueled by a 24% increase in module sales and significant U.S. government incentives. The company is aggressively expanding its American manufacturing base, planning to reach 17.7 GW of annual production capacity by 2027 through new facilities in Louisiana and South Carolina. Its unique Cadmium Telluride thin-film technology and vertically integrated U.S. supply chain provide a strategic advantage, especially with the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" favoring domestic production.
