First Solar

American technology. American supply chain. American manufacturing. Over the past decade, we have grown our US manufacturing footprint roughly 10x and invested approximately $5 billion in domestic infrastructure. By 2027, we expect to support almost 40,000 jobs and $4 billion in labor income. That's the real opportunity with an America First energy policy: the chance to create lasting economic prosperity through reindustrialization.

First Solar modules are helping to power hope in San Diego. At the Spring Valley Campus of @sdyouthservices, a new solar carport + storage system helps stretch limited resources further so more support can go directly to young people and families who need it most. We were proud to donate the solar modules for this project, which was supported by @lightempowered. The new installation enables San Diego Youth Services to lower its utility costs and reinvest the savings back into the vital services it provides to nearly 16,000 youth each year. #FirstSolar #AmericasSolarCompany #SolarForGood #solarpower #solarenergy #MakeADifference #endyouthhomelessness

U.S. Silica miners in Wayne County, Michigan, extract the high‑quality, ultra‑low‑iron silica sand that’s used to produce glass for First Solar modules. As our operations have expanded and our demand for silica sand has grown, U.S. Silica has added more good jobs at their facility. When we grow, our partners grow. High quality, well-paying jobs created and supported across manufacturing, supply chains, and local communities are all part of the approximately $3.0 billion in annual labor income that our US operations supported in 2025 — and the approximately $4.0 billion we’re projected to support by 2027. Strong jobs. Strong communities. Stronger America. #FirstSolar #ussilica #AmericanSolar #AmericasSolarCompany #SolarPower #SolarEnergy

Solar enables communities to keep more dollars where they belong: at home. In De Queen, Arkansas, First Solar modules help cut municipal energy costs — freeing up dollars for city parks, streets, and vital water infrastructure. By using energy from a @ScenicHillSolar project equipped with First Solar modules to trim the city’s electricity costs, De Queen is able to put the savings into the essential services that make a small town stronger. “Solar is making it possible for us to save money to be able to put back into the town to make it a better place to live.” — Jeff Brown, Mayor, De Queen, Arkansas 🎥 See how solar works for De Queen. #FirstSolar #AmericasSolarCompany #AmericanEnergy #SolarWorks #SolarPower

American manufacturing thrives when trade policy is fair and enforced. On last week’s tour of our manufacturing campus in Perrysburg, Ohio, @USTradeRep Jamieson Greer and First Solar CEO Mark Widmar discussed why a level playing field matters — for American workers, American industry, and American prosperity. “When you see a factory like this, it's not just a company,” said Ambassador Greer. “It's a worker. It's their family. It's community. And we want a trade policy that supports all of that.” Strong trade policy helps ensure the companies driving American Reindustrialization can compete and grow. Watch some highlights from their conversation. 🎥 #AmericanManufacturing #FairTrade #MadeInAmerica #AmericanWorkers #FirstSolar #AmericasSolarCompany

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. #FirstSolar #AmericasSolarCompany #solarpower #solarenergy #MadeInAmerica

A strong manufacturing base is foundational for U.S. economic and national security. President Trump’s trade policies are an important catalyst behind @FirstSolar’s continued U.S expansion, fueling job creation across our country.

It’s a pleasure to host @USTradeRep, Ambassador Jamieson Greer, at our Ohio manufacturing campus, the largest of its kind in the Western Hemisphere. First Solar is proud to be part of the effort to reindustrialize America, building solar technology in what the Ambassador rightly described as “the heart of American manufacturing.” #AmericasSolarCompany

Since 1999, First Solar has called northwest Ohio home. Today, our Ohio footprint includes three solar manufacturing facilities and a state-of-the-art R&D center. As we’ve grown, we’ve continually invested in our Ohio operations and brought good jobs to the Buckeye State — and that investment has a meaningful impact. According to estimates from a new economic impact study, our Ohio operations made significant contributions to the state economy in 2025: ✅ Supported ~9,360 direct, indirect, and induced jobs ✅ Generated ~$792 million in labor income ✅ Contributed ~$1.23 billion to the Ohio gross domestic product (GDP) ✅ Produced more than ~$4.25 billion in total economic output We’re proud to anchor the heart of American solar in Ohio, strengthening US manufacturing and reinforcing America’s energy leadership. 🔗 Read the economic impact study: bit.ly/4szAl1L @OhioDevelopment #FirstSolar #EconomicDevelopment #AmericanManufacturing #MadeInUSA #USJobs #AmericasSolarCompany

Our US supply chain stretches from coast to coast — and even reaches underground. At the @RioTinto Kennecott mine in Salt Lake County, Utah, tellurium is recovered from copper mining tailings to be repurposed into our powerful photovoltaic semiconductor. Supporting First Solar’s growth enables our suppliers to invest in their own capacity expansion with good-paying jobs. In fact, for every direct job First Solar supports it supports approximately six direct, indirect, and induced jobs nationwide. At First Solar, we’re proud to manufacture critical energy technology with American workers using American materials from an American supply chain. 👉 bit.ly/4mcMo39 #FirstSolar #RioTinto #Kennecott #AmericanSolar #AmericasSolarCompany #SolarPower #SolarEnergy

First Solar is making a difference in Alabama. Since opening our manufacturing facility in Lawrence County in September 2024, we’ve been helping to drive economic growth in the region. In 2025, our Alabama operations supported an estimated 1,865 total jobs, generated ~$134.1M in labor income, added ~$238.4M to the state GDP, and produced ~$854M in economic output. We’re proud to be advancing American manufacturing and building strong communities where we operate. 👉 bit.ly/4cFvFml #FirstSolar #MadeInAlabama #EconomicDevelopment #AmericanManufacturing #MadeInUSA #USJobs #AmericasSolarCompany

Delivering clean water to a community takes power — lots of it. From nonstop pumps to round‑the‑clock operations, water treatment is a power‑intensive business. @CARKW — the state’s largest water utility — serves about 500,000 people, operates three treatment plants, and runs thousands of miles of pipe. By using energy from a @ScenicHillSolar project equipped with First Solar modules, the utility is able to offset approximately 20% of its power costs — strengthening long‑term rate stability and keeping water affordable for the community. “For us to take the ability to put in solar and offset about 20% of our power costs, it made a huge difference in our operations and our future rate forecasting.” — Tad Bohannon, CEO, Central Arkansas Water See why American-made solar energy was the smart, forward‑looking choice for Central Arkansas Water.🎥 #FirstSolar #AmericasSolarCompany #AmericanEnergy #SolarWorks #SolarPower

Jobs and opportunity are taking root in Louisiana. In 2025, our Louisiana operations supported an estimated 1,970 total jobs, generated ~$132.2M in labor income, added ~$211.1M in value to the state GDP, and produced ~$734.3M in economic output. In the process, we continued to strengthen America’s domestic solar supply chain. This is the power of American manufacturing at work. 👉 bit.ly/4lkOehX #FirstSolar #MadeInLouisiana #EconomicDevelopment #AmericanManufacturing #MadeInUSA #USJobs #AmericasSolarCompany

In Hot Springs, Arkansas, American-made solar energy is helping to make dirty water clean while generating cost savings for the city and affordability for its residents. By powering its municipal water plant with electricity provided by First Solar modules, the city saves $1 million every year — freeing up money for essential services and helping keep water rates affordable for residents. “As we complete these projects, we're going to be the largest city in the state of Arkansas that can claim to have their entire footprint of energy offset by renewable solar energy. So that's a big deal for us.” — Bill Burrough, City Manager, Hot Springs, Arkansas 🎥 See how Hot Springs saves with American-made solar. #First Solar #AmericasSolarCompany #AmericanEnergy #SolarWorks #SolarPower

Our partnership with @IceIndustriesHQ—producer of the steel backrails for our Series 7 solar modules—shows how American manufacturing fuels real economic growth, creating jobs and opportunity for communities and families. When First Solar expanded to Louisiana in 2025, Ice Industries expanded with us. Their new facility added 70 direct jobs and 142 indirect jobs statewide, underscoring the powerful multiplier effect of localized manufacturing investment. In fact, every direct First Solar job supports approximately six direct, indirect, and induced jobs nationwide. It’s a great example of how investing in American manufacturing extends our impact far beyond our factory floors. More jobs. Greater economic impact. Stronger communities. This is the real value of American Solar. Learn more - bit.ly/4rqS5LP #FirstSolar #AmericasSolarCompany #SolarPower #SolarEnergy #MadeInAmerica

Shared success fuels shared growth. To support First Solar’s expansion, @nsgpilkington (NSG Group) built a new $380M float glass plant in Luckey, Ohio. The facility generated 150 jobs to produce high-tech glass for our solar modules. In addition to the jobs created by partnerships like this across our US supply chain, we help support jobs throughout the communities in which we operate. According to a recent economic impact study, in 2025 First Solar’s US operations supported an estimated 29,605 direct, indirect, and induced jobs nationwide — and that number is projected to grow to 39,320 jobs supported by 2027.

Faced with the rising cost of farmland, the Furbee family in Madison County, Ohio, found a new source of revenue that will help them grow their Food Grown Right business into what they hope will be a multigenerational operation. Through an agrivoltaics partnership with LRE (@LeewardEnergy, the Furbees graze their sheep at a nearby solar installation — using the flock to naturally manage vegetation while preserving the soil underneath. The result? Productive American farmland stays in agriculture, and a family business continues to grow. Watch the video for a glimpse at how solar is helping rural families prosper. It's American Solar at Work. #Agrivoltaics #SustainableFarming #AmericasSolarCompany #SolarPower #FirstSolar #LeewardRenewableEnergy #FoodRaisedRight
