First Solar Inc., once the dominant U.S. solar-equipment maker, is slashing
its work force by nearly a third and shutting a factory as it contends with
a solar-panel glut that the company called "the new market reality."
Much of the solar-power industry around the globe is struggling as the
market for clean energy has been upended by uncertain government support and
fierce competition from low-priced, well-financed Chinese manufacturers
that have grown quickly.
The problems at First Solar spotlight how industry troubles have migrated
well beyond early-stage solar-panel makers, such as Solyndra LLC, and are
now ensnaring even mature U.S. companies |
