First Solar - Top PV Manufacturer in 2009

Thin-film solar module manufacturer, First Solar topped the rankings list for PV module suppliers in 2009, surpassing all of its crystalline rivals to ship more than a gigawatt (GW) of modules and become the industry's largest supplier, according to the latest analysis from IMS Research.

Although, the top ten suppliers that feature in IMS Research's rankings did not change in 2009, the previous year’s leader, Suntech, fell to second place, followed once again by Sharp in third. No other supplier came even close to the growth that  First Solar saw in 2009 in terms of megawatts, but Trina Solar climbed two places, increasing its annual shipments by nearly 90%.
