First Solar May Supply Panels for Biggest Solar Project

First Solar Inc., the world’s largest maker of thin-film panels, may win a contract to supply NextEra Energy Inc. for what would be the world’s biggest solar farm.

First Solar may be the only manufacturer with the capacity to supply enough thin-film panels for NextEra’s Blythe project, which is evaluating the technology, Ben Schuman, an analyst at Pacific Crest Securities in Portland, Oregon, said today in an interview.
