Waar het op steunt, en wat het kan breken
Waar het bedrijf van afhangt
- 1The business depends on supplies of tellurium and other materials used in CdTe modules; some key materials and components come from a limited number of suppliers.
- 2United States sales made up 95.7% of geographic net sales (2025, high), making demand and trade rules in that market important to the business.
- 3Federal and state incentives, tax-credit rules, and tariffs can affect the cost of solar projects and the demand and prices for First Solar modules.
- 4Two customers, Silicon Ranch Corporation and NextEra Energy, each accounted for at least 10% of module-business net sales (2025, high).
Wat er mis kan gaan
- 1Crystalline-silicon manufacturers compete intensely on price, and excess global panel supply can push selling prices down.
- 2Changes to tax incentives, domestic-content rules, and tariffs can alter customer demand and the cost or eligibility of modules made across First Solar’s manufacturing network.
- 3Manufacturing issues affecting some Series 7 modules have caused premature power loss and increased warranty claims, potentially bringing further costs and customer concerns.
