🌎 Our 2026 Corporate Responsibility Report, "Responsible by Design," has arrived — and it tells a powerful story.
This year's report shows what it looks like when responsibility is built into every module that comes off the line. Real factories. Real jobs. A domestic supply chain. American-invented CdTe technology with decades of proven performance.
Across our US factory footprint, we're proving that American manufacturing and responsible manufacturing go hand in hand.

Today we were honored to welcome @USTradeRep Jamieson Greer to our manufacturing campus in Perrysburg, Ohio, joined by Senator @berniemoreno and Representative @boblatta.
Ambassador Greer’s visit is recognition of what’s possible when trade policy puts American interests first. By the midpoint of President Trump’s term, First Solar will have brought $1.5 billion in new US manufacturing capacity online across Louisiana and South Carolina — creating 1,400 good‑paying American manufacturing jobs.
We’re grateful for the opportunity to show Ambassador Greer firsthand how First Solar is building American supply chains, creating American jobs, and helping American communities prosper. We’re proud to manufacture in America — and committed to its future.

Today, we celebrate America’s solar workers. The thousands of people that go to work each day in factories, R&D labs, mines, railyards, and warehouses, enable First Solar’s uniquely American solar technology. Thanks to their work, there isn’t a more American solar technology in the market than the panels produced by First Solar’s factories in the United States. Photojournalist, Dane Rhys, traveled the country documenting their work and their stories in a visual journey that takes us from our R&D center in California to our hi-tech factories in Ohio and from 1,500 feet underground in a Wyoming soda ash mine to a crane perched above a South Carolina port. This is #AmericanSolar. And these are #AmericasSolarWorkers. https://t.co/8uDNTaRjhc
#TheJourney #FirstSolar
These are #AmericasSolarWorkers. Since 1999, First Solar has called northwest Ohio home, producing American-designed and -made thin film solar panels in what is today the largest fully vertically integrated solar panel manufacturing complex outside of China. By strategically building and sustaining US supply chains, First Solar is investing in America and enabling growth and jobs not just for the solar industry but for other US industries, such as glass, steel, mining, and transportation, to name a few. This is #AmericanSolar. #TheFactory

These are #AmericasSolarWorkers. With the expansion of its manufacturing capacity in the US, which is expected to reach 10.6 gigawatts of annual nameplate capacity by 2026, First Solar expects to produce an American-made solar panel every 1.6 seconds. Each panel proves that it is possible to out-innovate and out-compete China by manufacturing in America, for America, using American materials. This is #AmericanSolar. #TheFactory #FirstSolar https://t.co/8uDNTaQLrE
American steel forms the backbone of First Solar’s US-made Series 7 panels. The transformation from iron ore to steel rolls to finished back rails all happens within a 100-mile radius of First Solar’s Ohio factories: the steel is made in Cleveland, processed in Delta, and fabricated into back rails in Bowling Green. https://t.co/8uDNTaQLrE

The passage of the #InflationReductionAct is a victory for 🇺🇸. It's an opportunity to:
✅ Achieve energy security with responsible solar
✅ Create jobs and economic value where needed most
✅ Facilitate cycles of innovation
Read Mark Widmar's statement here.
First Solar applauds the Senate's passage of 45X. It will have a significant impact on American solar manufacturing, helping secure a supply chain crucial to our nation's security and the fight against climate change. #InflationReductionAct https://t.co/WPu5uL1rpM
The subject of solar energy is very close to my heart, because it concerns the future of our planet. Met the CEO of @FirstSolar, Mr. Mark Widmar and discussed why India is the right destination to invest in solar energy. Also talked about our green hydrogen mission.
This article talks about energy diversification, the problem with "solar at any cost" and focusing on the positive prospects of a truly diversified system. #ResponsibleSolar https://t.co/VZioFS4H77
What is better than renewable energy? Circular renewable energy.
