Vantaggi

Svantaggi
I've survived 3 sizeable layoffs in 5 years. While the market is to blame for the 2017 IPC cliff not being a cliff, the Chinese dumping panels and SunEdison going under, the new C-suite of 2016 have made some really bad calls. We decided to do - and then not do 5 Series modules and the structures that would go with them. We decided to look into - and then not look into methods of DC collection. All told, that's a lot of cash. First Solar has decided to ride out the storm and accelerate the technology roadmap. While that's all very good on the top, if we're not directly involved with de-commissioning current equipment, R&D, or installing the next equipment and spec'ing it in (or the skeleton crew supporting those activities), we're not needed. If we're not actively involved in the EPC projects in the short term, we're not needed. It's been brutal. I can't recommend employment here until 6 Series modules are selling and shipping.
