- Capacity Expansion to 75MW in Ohio Manufacturing Facilities
First Solar announces the tripling of its production capacity to approximately 75MW in Ohio, commencing in March 2005. The expansion project will enable First Solar to produce approximately 40MW in 2006 and the full 75MW in 2007. “The expansion is prompted by strong customer demand for the product and our ability to replicate the current process while continuing to rapidly increase conversion efficiencies” said Mike Ahearn, CEO of First Solar.
