First Solar
Edd of Illinois on Dec 5, 2008 12:48 PMI work for the company that supplies First Solar it's main panel for collection. We presently ship 180 racks of glass to them a week, and have a standing order of 200 if we can produce them, that's 500,000 + panels each week. Thanks to them, I continue to work 7 days a week. Looks like my job is secure in this recession, thank you First Solar.
