First Solar Reports Q3 2026 Results and Outlines Long-Term Growth Strategy
First Solar (FSLR) reported third-quarter 2026 net sales of $1.2 billion, highlighting a strategic shift toward project-specific contracts designed to increase average selling prices and optimize module allocation. The company is leveraging its domestic supply chain to benefit from federal trade protections, specifically Section 232 tariffs, which provide a structural advantage over competitors reliant on Chinese silicon. Looking forward, the company maintains a massive 44-gigawatt backlog extending through 2030, providing significant long-term revenue visibility. Management is also exercising strict capital discipline, including a potential binary decision regarding its Malaysia facility by the first half of 2027 and the continued development of perovskite module production in Ohio.
