Annual Report 2009 | First Solar First Solar | Annual Report 2009 To Our Shareholders: When I started as CEO of First Solar in October 2009, I knew I would be leading a strong company with a bright future. Under the leadership of former CEO and current Execu ve Chairman, Mike Ahearn, with a dedicated team of over 4,700 associates, First Solar had become a world leader in solar module manufacturing and u lity-scale systems. Yet as we celebrated our 10-year anniversary in 2009, we also experienced a challenging business environment, dealing with industry-wide module over-supply and pricing adjustments, a weak global economy, and a nancial climate that ac ected project nancing. Despite these obstacles, we remained steadfast and made progress in advancing our mission to create enduring value by enabling a world powered by clean, ac ordable solar electricity and delivering on the commitments made to our shareholders. In 2009, First Solar achieved its financial guidance, delivering solid results. Revenues increased 66% Rob Gille e year over year to $2.1 billion, and earnings per share increased 78% to $7.53 per fully diluted share. We Chief Execu ve O cer produced over 1.1 gigawa s (GW)—double our 2008 total—and our module cost per wa decreased by 19% to $0.84 in the fourth quarter of 2009. We generated free cash ow of $395 million, and grew our cash and marketable securi- es balance to $1.1 billion. Our opera ng margin was 32.9% of net sales, contribu ng to a 25.5% return on net assets, exceeding our goal of 20% and crea ng signi cant economic value. First Solar is well-positioned to meet growing global demand. In North America, we built 50 megawa s (MW) of u lity-scale projects, and in 2009 and early 2010, we signed or acquired 1.7GW (AC) of new contracts. In Europe, we added 361MW of module demand to our long-term agreements, which allow for a total of approximately $3.8 billion in sales from 2010 to 2013. In Asia, we entered the Chinese market with a memorandum of understanding to sell modules for a 2GW solar installa on in Ordos City. And the opportunity is growing. Through 2012, we currently project global demand to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 30-35%, increasing global demand to an expected 12-13GW. To sa sfy this demand, we are construc ng eight new lines at our Kulim, Malaysia manufacturing facility, set to ramp up produc on in the rst half of 2011. As part of a 10-year module supply agreement with EDF Energies Nouvelles, an a liate of one of the largest u li es in Europe, we announced plans to build a two-line facility in Blanquefort, France. In the rst quarter of 2010, we ramped our fourth line at our Perrysburg, Ohio facility. By 2012, First Solar’s total manufac- turing capacity is expected to increase to 34 lines, equaling 1.8GW per annum based on the fourth quarter 2009 annual line run rate of 53.4MW. We will continue to focus on our goal of achieving price parity with conventional fossil-fuel based peak electricity generation. To do this, we target cost reduc ons in module manufacturing, balance of system, and project nancing. By con nuing to improve conversion e ciency, line run rate, material cost, and by driving volume to further decrease overhead costs, we expect to achieve a cost reduc on of over 30% in our PV module manufacturing, with a target to bring module costs down to $0.52-$0.63 per wa by 2014. By improving conversion e ciency, leveraging volume procurement around standardized hardware pla orms, and accelerat- ing installa on me, we are striving to cut balance of system costs that include installa on hardware and labor— and which account for more than half of all capital costs—by about 33% to $0.91-$0.98 per wa by 2014. In 2010, we will serve the European feed-in tariff (FiT) markets and continue developing new global markets. We expect the Euro- pean market to grow signi cantly year over year. Germany remains the largest market with good rst-half demand and uncertainty by mid-year due to an an cipated reduc on in the FiT. We expect robust growth in France and Italy while demand in Spain gradually recovers. We are planning for strong growth in our North American systems business as we con nue to execute against our large pipeline. This segment con nues to bene t from state Renewable Por olio Standards, the U.S. federal s mulus package in the form of the federal Investment Tax Credit cash grant, and Ontario, Canada’s Renewable Standard Energy Oc er Program (RESOP). All of these programs contribute to increasing u lity adop on of solar-generated energy. Finally, China, India, and Australia are emerging as poten ally large markets for which we are establishing approaches. Our strong balance sheet and cash flow, along with our project finance capabilities, are enabling us to attract investors to many utility-scale projects throughout North America. In 2009, we sold our 80MW Sarnia, Ontario project to Enbridge Inc. and our 21MW Blythe, California project to NRG Energy. Our 30MW project near Cimarron, New Mexico was recently sold to Southern Com- pany. These sales demonstrate our ability to design and build u lity scale PV solar projects that generate a rac ve rates of return.

  • Selling Solar Services As a Contribution to a Circular Economy Katarina Svatikova, Irati Artola, Stephan Slingerland Trinomics Susanne Fischer Wuppertal Institute
    POLICY BRIef NO. 1, DECEMbeR 2015 SELLING SOLAR SERVICES AS A CONTRIBUTION TO A CIRCULAR ECONOMY Katarina Svatikova, Irati Artola, Stephan Slingerland Trinomics Susanne Fischer Wuppertal Institute Key messages I The solar services sector sells the service of providing the use of solar electricity to its customer instead of selling solar PV systems (the product). This new business model can be seen as a radical innovation for the solar sector – as it is in other sectors. It is particularly interesting from the perspective of systemic eco-innovation fostering a carbon-free and circular economy. II There are several barriers that prevent the uptake of solar services in Europe. This includes financial barriers – finding a private investor who is willing to provide funding for such an innovative business model is difficult, and public funding might not always be accessible. There are also information and public acceptance barriers – neither the financial stakeholders nor the end customers are aware of the solar service option, understand its mechanisms or see the advantages that this option could offer to them. III The political and policy relevance of selling solar services is clear. Stimulating new business models based on selling ‘services’ instead of ‘products’ is a crucial factor in optimising resource flows in our society. Integration of the solar services debate into wider renewable energy and/or circular economy policies could serve this aim. Several solutions already exist that could mitigate the information and financial barriers identified. Rather than research into new technological solutions, this would require research regarding the possibilities and pitfalls of economic and social innovation towards a circular economy in Europe.

    July 2015 Mexico: Prepare to Launch Is it still hurry up and wait or is the race to build new power projects finally underway in Mexico? New power market rules are expected in final form soon. The country revamped its electricity sector to great fanfare at the end of 2013. Raquel Bierzwinsky, a partner in the Chadbourne New York and Mexico City offices, and Sean McCoy, an international counsel in the Chadbourne Mexico City office, talked to Keith Martin about the potential opportuni- ties in Mexico at the Chadbourne global energy & finance conference in June. MR. MARTIN: Many of us in this audience have been following Mexico. We know the constitution was amended in late 2013 to open up the power sector to private competition. We also know that implementing legislation was finally enacted last year, but that is not enough because you still need guidelines to implement the implementing legislation. Sean McCoy, when are those guidelines expected? MR. McCOY: This July, hopefully. IN THIS ISSUE MR. MARTIN: You have a draft of them that came out in February, I believe. MR. McCOY: Yes.

  • Press Release – for Immediate Use
    Press Release – for immediate use Clean energy index closes 2006 up 33% London, 10 January 2007, New Energy Finance The WilderHill New Energy Global Innovation index (ticker NEX) of quoted clean energy companies powered ahead in 2006, ending the year up 33.3% at 288.25. The top sector was wind, up by 65.0%, followed by Biofuels, Biomass and Waste-to-Energy, up 60.7%. The weakest sector was Hydrogen & Fuel Cells, down 12.3%. The ‘Kyoto Effect’, first documented by New Energy Finance in 2005, continues, with quoted clean energy companies based in countries which have ratified the Protocol outperforming those based in non-ratifying countries by 41.3%. The performance of the NEX during 2006 was driven by the continuing strong fundamentals of the clean energy industry. Energy prices remained near to historic highs, despite easing in the second half of the year. Another driver was the increased political support for renewable energy from sources as diverse as the US – where President Bush started the year by declaring that his country was “addicted to oil” – and China, whose 11th 5-year plan called for a cut in energy intensity per unit of GDP of 20% by 2010. In Europe, the publication of the Stern Report, which outlined that it was cheaper to deal with climate change now than to deal with it later, cemented the consensus that action on global warming was well overdue. This strong political support translated into a number of important legislative developments, including China’s first Renewable Energy Law, under which it plans to spend $180bn on renewables by 2020 – New Energy Finance believes the figure will have to be $270bn to hit NDRC targets – and California’s $3.2bn ‘Million Solar Roofs’ initiative.
