First Solar Expands CdTe Solar Cell Manufacturing Footprint In US
- •First Solar is constructing a new 3.7 GW CdTe solar cell manufacturing facility in the US.
- •This expansion significantly boosts domestic thin-film solar module supply, enhancing supply chain security and reducing reliance on foreign imports for US projects.
- •Increased availability of US-made CdTe modules supports projects aiming for domestic content bonuses under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and can contribute to more stable module pricing.
