First Solar Rises Again appeared in a recent issue of FORTUNE — across 8 full pages of that magazine. Lotta words. Now just a few of those are posted here — including this interesting bit:
First Solar is more than a survivor. It’s also a case study in the virtues of marrying wide-eyed technological optimism with patient capital that is willing to see a company through good times and bad.
As one of the oldest surviving large-scale makers of what’s known as photovoltaic panels — sheets of glass covered with semiconductors that convert sunlight into electricity — the company has been a pioneer at several turns in its history.
It championed a different type of panel technology from most of the rest of the industry, the same kind generally pursued by Solyndra, the infamously bankrupt startup that lost half a billion taxpayer dollars.
