First Solar announced plans for a new 3.7GW finishing facility in the United States on April 3, 2026. This initiative shifts final module processing from Southeast Asia to domestic sites.
The strategy aims to reduce tariff exposure and protect profit margins. This move aligns the company with federal manufacturing incentives and strengthens supply chain resilience.
Separately, Geronimo Power’s Dodson Creek Solar Project in Ohio began commercial operations on the same day. The facility utilizes First Solar’s Series 7 modules.
