First Solar has inaugurated its new vertically integrated solar manufacturing plant, in Tamil Nadu, India.
The facility has an annual expected capacity of 3.3 GW and produces the company’s Series 7 PV modules, developed at the company’s U.S. research and development centers and optimized for the India market.
Representing an investment of approximately $700M, which includes $500M in previously announced DFC financing, the facility is First Solar’s sixth operational factory.
“The inauguration of this landmark manufacturing facility and the launch of commercial shipments to customers in India is a crucial milestone in our journey to long-term and sustainable growth,” says Mark Widmar, CEO, First Solar. “The speed with which we were able to build and commission this facility is a testament to the policies of India’s Federal and the Tamil Nadu state governments.”
The factory, located in an area of high baseline water stress, is designed to minimize its impact on local resources and instead relies on tertiary-treated reverse osmosis water from the city’s sewage treatment plant and have zero wastewater discharge.

At left is a recent post by a “friend” on FB. A couple of points that illustrate how inane and dangerous social media can be:
- This is a hoax that was debunked that year.
- Protesting the U.S. support for what’s happening in Gaza is far different than “organizing pro-Hamas rallies.”
- Objecting to the free expression of ideas is unAmerican.
Of course, stupidity exists even in the absence of social media, but there is no doubt that it accelerates that rate at which crap like this can be promulgated throughout our society.
To accept what House Speaker Mike Johnson says here, you’ll have to pretend that you received your DOGE and Tariff checks, that grocery and gasoline prices aren’t through the roof, that the national debt didn’t just break the $40 trillion barrier, and that the United States has won the illegal and pointless war in Iran.
OK, we’re stupid, but there must be a limit.
Please tell me there is a limit.
There are so many obnoxious features of Trump’s offer to bribe voters that it’s impossible to count them all.
Something that jumps out at me is that I live among people whose integrity is for sale for $5000.
