NASDAQ, FSLR - First Solar Inc
We design and manufacture solar modules using a proprietary thin film
semiconductor technology that has allowed us to reduce our average solar module
manufacturing costs to among the lowest in the world. In 2007, our average
manufacturing costs were $1.23 per watt, which we believe is significantly less
than those of traditional crystalline silicon solar module manufacturers. By
continuing to expand production and improve our technology and manufacturing
process, we believe that we can further reduce our manufacturing costs per watt
and improve our cost advantage over traditional crystalline silicon solar module
manufacturers. Our objective is to become, by 2010, the first solar module
manufacturer to offer a solar electricity solution that can generate electricity
on a non-subsidized basis at a cost equal to the price of retail electricity in
key markets in North America, Europe and Asia. ...
