Fun facts about FIRST SOLAR, INC.

Quirks, history, and lore behind FSLR — the kind of stuff that makes a stock memorable.

  • 1
    The Basics
    U.S. clean energy company · mid-cap · listed on Nasdaq · headquartered in Arizona.
  • 2
    The Numbers
    Annual revenue around $3–4 billion, with margins that swing wildly on polysilicon prices and government policy — when subsidies align, profits can be surprisingly fat.
  • 3
    The History
    Founded in the late 1990s, it was spun out of a larger industrial company and built its identity around a thin-film photovoltaic technology that most rivals abandoned.
  • 4
    The Secret
    Unlike nearly every other solar panel maker, it manufactures almost entirely in the United States — which turned from a quirk into a massive competitive advantage once domestic content incentives kicked in.
  • 5
    The Lore
    Its panels use cadmium telluride instead of silicon, making it the only major manufacturer to bet the whole company on that chemistry — and so far, the bet hasn't blown up.
  • 6
    The Giveaway
    America's largest thin-film solar panel manufacturer, it powers utility-scale farms across the Southwest and trades under a ticker that's basically just solar spelled out.
