What I find interesting about First Solar, they have been around for 20 years now. First Solar was also ‘first’ at a cradle-to-cradle recycling plan since 2003 and have been the only “American” company to actually expand over the years to a goal of 6GW now. Also, First Solar as so far has been verbalizing their intent to manufacturing solar PV panels with solar PV by 2028, the crystalline silicon solar PV manufacturing arena can’t make these types of plans.
