First Solar reposted this
Enjoyed having the opportunity to present on the topic of “The General Counsel’s Metamorphosis: Thriving in a Globalized Era” at the marcus evans Group’s 2024 U.S. General Counsel Summit, focusing on the efforts of First Solar and other like-minded companies employing the legal tools necessary to level the playing field for U.S. manufacturers, and respond to China’s strategy of dominating the solar supply chain and eviscerating high-value American manufacturing. If we are successful, we will continue to enable U.S. energy security, as well as American economic and job growth, such as the 30,000 domestic jobs projected to be generated by 2026 after First Solar’s expansions are completed in Alabama, Louisiana and Ohio. For my own part, I also appreciated the chance to continue working away on one of my (many) areas for improvement: public speaking. Run toward, not away, from your challenges.

First Solar takes great pride in manufacturing American solar modules with American-made components sourced from a supply chain that spans the country. Our work is enabled by thousands of #AmericanSolarWorkers, including steelworkers, glassworkers, miners, truck drivers, railroad workers, and others. And our new Alabama facility uses steel smelted, rolled, and fabricated within a 25-mile radius of the factory, supporting hundreds more jobs in the state. This is #AmericanSolar and we are #AmericasSolarCompany. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3XIRKra
