The response of the Chinese company Trina spokesperson is quite off the mark. First Solar expects to ship around 3GW of modules in 2016 so that is not exactly lab scale ;) FSLR expects to improve their shipped modules efficiency by more than 10% over last year. 15.4 to 17. FSLR also will also introduce their new larger modules that are easier to install. Reducing the cost of building a power plant. I really regret not investing in FSLR stock when I could have :( Off course when looking at energy supplies the physical efficiency is not important, one must look at the economic efficiency. Numbers that are hard to find :(

Yup, I invested in them a year or so ago, unfortunately I also invested in SunEdison at the same time. Took a hit to get out of that position. Happy with my portfolio now though: Accel Group, First Solar, Tesla, Vestas. They look good for the long run.

FSLR was at 140 in 2011, and now they're at 60.36. Perhaps it's not too late to buy?

  No longer have the spare cash to play on the stock market :(

    It's a funny kind of regret to wish you had something that is worth half as much as it used to be worth.

      Stock was just below 12 at one point in the dumping Solyndra failure time range.

        Exactly although for me it would have been just after IPO.
