First Solar says it owns U.S. patents related to the manufacturing of Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact (TOPCon) crystalline-silicon PV solar cells.
First Solar secured the patent and related international counterparts through its acquisition of TetraSun, and has initiated an investigation of several solar manufacturers for potential infringement of its patents.
The patents include issued patents in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, China, Malaysia, Vietnam, Japan and Australia. It also includes pending patent applications in the European Union and Japan.
“These patents are First Solar’s intellectual property, which we continue to leverage as part of ongoing efforts to develop the next generation of PV technologies,” says First Solar’s Jason Dymbort.
“While First Solar is a world leader in the development and commercialization of advanced thin film photovoltaics, our R&D and intellectual property portfolio spans several semiconductor platforms, including crystalline silicon, as we pursue multiple pathways towards our goal of developing the next transformative, disruptive solar technology.”

First Solar Takes Ownership of TOPCon Patents Through Acquisition
I would say that the meme here is “semi-true.”
It’s certainly true that he/she will be repairing broken relationships with our historical allies, but I don’t think that will be too terribly difficult. The rest of the world will be popping champagne corks the second Trump’s gone.
The simple answer to the question here is that we’ve become a nation many of whose people think, “I got mine. Go die.”
Now, how did this happen? That’s more complicated, but I suggest that, as I’ve believed since I was in my teens, we’re living through the endgame of free market capitalism.
The rich have gotten richer and have taken an ownership position in our lawmaking processes, so as to take them from millionaires to billionaires. At the same time, the rest of the U.S citizenry has become so poorly educated and desperate that they’ll believe that the people who harvest our fruits and vegetables are stealing our jobs and driving up the cost of housing.
Just a generation ago, Americans were proud that their country led the world in promoting democracy and moral fortitude. Now, we stand for racial hate, greed, cruelty, and war criminality.
Trump is elated that Republicans swept the Arizona Republican primaries.
That’s the level of intelligence we’re dealing with.
