But it's a pretty universal fact that First Solar is in the industry's driver's seat when it comes to the key (manufacturing) metric of cost/W. And its long-term targets ($0.50-$0.54/W module costs, 14.5%-15% efficiency, $0.70/$0.75/W BOS costs, $100-$140/MWh LCOE, and $1.40-$1.60 system price excluding owner development costs) are what everyone from manufacturers to installers need to figure out how to match.
