First Solar designs and manufactures solar modules based on thin-film photovoltaic technology, with the aim of delivering reliable power for large-scale installations. The company is headquartered in Tempe, Arizona, and is regarded as one of the world's leading solar manufacturers as the only US-headquartered member of that group. Its thin-film technology originated in U.S. research laboratories and is positioned as a high-performance alternative to conventional crystalline silicon modules. Its activities target the utility-scale solar market, supporting the growth of large solar projects through collaboration and partnerships. A notable development in 2026 was a partnership with GameChange Solar to support utility-scale solar expansion in India. The company employs several thousand people.
