Faces potential exclusion from Indian market in 2027 due to proposed higher module efficiency standards.

What happened

A draft proposal in India would increase minimum efficiency requirements for PV modules under the ALMM program starting in 2027, which First Solar notes could negatively impact their ability to sell into this key market.
