We’re thrilled to announce the inauguration of our $1.1 billion high-tech manufacturing facility in Louisiana next month. The facility is projected to directly employ over 800 people by year-end, helping to bring prosperity to the Acadiana region. The expedited commissioning of this American factory was catalyzed by President Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill. Find out more in this piece on @FullMeasureNews: https://t.co/ZZUysZAodd

A $1.1 billion investment (and a facility that’s 11 times the size of the New Orleans Superdome), First Solar’s Louisiana factory is expected to begin commercial operations later this year. Bringing more than 800 good-paying jobs and prosperity roaring into Iberia Parish, this big, beautiful American factory creates opportunities for Louisianians to invest in their future without having to move away from their communities to find good-paying jobs.

“It’s having a huge impact on the development, the growth of Iberia Parish for the future.” – Larry Richard, Parish President, Iberia Parish, Louisiana

@FirstSolar produces 100% of the steel for its Alabama-made solar modules from recycled metal. It’s a fascinating story of innovation in American manufacturing! #AmericasSolarWorkers #AmericasSolarCompany

[America's Solar Company @AmericasSolarCo]

First Solar is working to enable American energy dominance, and our mission is supported by thousands of dedicated workers across our domestic supply chain. Our Alabama steel supply chain is located entirely within a 25-mile radius of our Decatur factory. That includes SA Recycling "@1800GotScrap", where recycled metal begins its transformation into the Alabama-made steel used to manufacture back rails for our Alabama-made solar panels.
