From the heartland to the coasts, in industrial centers and rural communities, American workers are rolling up their sleeves to bring energy manufacturing back home. By reshoring manufacturing and critical supply chains, they’re proving that America still has what it takes to lead. This is how we secure American energy dominance, strengthen our economy, and show the world the true magnitude of four powerful words: Made in the USA. We’re proud to support the 2026 Energy Imperatives Summit. #AmericasSolarCompany #MadeInUSA #AmericanManufacturing #EnergyImperativesSummit #AmericanEnergyDominance

First Solar CEO Mark Widmar met with Utah @GovCox at the Energy Imperatives Summit in Washington, D.C. this week. Utah is home to @RioTinto's Kennecott mine and the only tellurium processing facility in the United States. Tellurium is the foundation of First Solar’s cadmium telluride thin film technology. Kennecott is an important part of the domestic supply chain that keeps our modules genuinely American-made. Governor Cox understands what’s at stake. So does Utah. #AmericasSolarCompany #SolarPower #MadeInUSA #EnergyImperatives #AmericanEnergyDominance

Our Alabama-made solar panels have backbones of steel. And not just any steel. We use Alabama-made steel. Our ENTIRE steel supply chain in the Yellowhammer State is located within 25 miles of our Lawrence County manufacturing plant. We’re not just buying American; we’re prioritizing local supply chains, supporting local jobs, and creating opportunities for our communities. It’s how we supported more than 1,800 jobs and over $134 million in labor income across the Alabama economy in 2025. Learn more: bit.ly/4vmPcOm #AmericasSolarCompany #MadeinAL #MadeinUSA

Solar grazing is helping farmers stay on the farms their families built — and pass it on to the next generation even stronger. American-made solar isn’t replacing agriculture. It’s giving American farmers a fighting chance. “I think the solar grazing opportunity in America is going to transform and actually save the sheep industry,” said Chad Raines, a fourth-generation farmer in West Texas who credits solar grazing with bringing his family farm back from the brink of bankruptcy.

A strong US solar industry isn’t a partisan issue. It’s an American one. In a new blog article, First Solar Executive Vice President Samantha Sloan outlines a clear path to rebuilding bipartisan support for solar — grounded in American manufacturing, transparent supply chains, and fair competition.

At the Tata Chemicals trona mine in Sweetwater County, Wyoming, miners work 1,500 feet underground to extract crystalline trona that’s refined into soda ash and used to form float glass for our American-made solar modules. They’re part of the coast-to-coast supply chain that creates jobs, supports regional businesses, and maximizes the economic value of our US operations. Last year, First Solar added an estimated $13.8 billion in total economic output to the US economy, including indirect and induced effects. And that number is projected to grow to $18.4 billion by 2027. We invest in American manufacturing and American supply chains to build a stronger foundation for America’s energy independence.

When we invest in American manufacturing, the economic benefits reach far and wide. In 2025, First Solar’s construction activities — anchored by the opening of our new Louisiana manufacturing facility — generated nearly $3.0 billion in estimated total economic output across the US economy, supporting thousands of workers and strengthening domestic supply chains. This is what American manufacturing momentum looks like: good-paying jobs, prosperous communities, and long-term economic value — built right here at home.

America is reindustrializing and there are few better examples than First Solar's Perrysburg, Ohio, manufacturing and R&D campus, which @RepRoKhanna, Ranking Member of @ChinaSelect, and @RepMarcyKaptur of Ohio visited on Saturday. What they saw: American workers building world-class technology, American families benefiting from good-paying jobs, and proof that American manufacturers, backed by American supply chains, can go toe-to-toe with China on a level playing field and compete to win. Their reactions say it all: 📽️ #MadeInAmerica #AmericanJobs #AmericanManufacturing #FirstSolar #AmericasSolarCompany #Reindustrialize @CmteOnCCPDems

Today, we welcomed @RoKhanna, Ranking Member of @ChinaSelect, and @RepMarcyKaptur to First Solar's manufacturing campus in Perrysburg, Ohio, where they got a firsthand look at American reindustrialization in action and met America's solar workers. A level playing field against China matters — for American communities and American industry. #MadeInAmerica #AmericanJobs #AmericanManufacturing #FirstSolar

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
