Conflict Minerals Report of First Solar, Inc.

For the reporting period from January 1 to December 31, 2016

Introduction

First Solar, Inc., together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“First Solar,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), has prepared this Conflict Minerals Report pursuant to Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the requirements of Form SD (collectively, “the Rules”).

We are a leading global provider of comprehensive photovoltaic (“PV”) solar energy solutions. We design, manufacture, and sell PV solar modules with an advanced thin-film semiconductor technology and also develop, design, construct, and sell PV solar power systems that primarily use the modules we manufacture. Additionally, we provide operations and maintenance (“O&M”) services to system owners that use solar modules manufactured by us or by third-party manufacturers. We have substantial, ongoing research and development efforts focused on module and system-level innovations. We are the world’s largest thin-film PV solar module manufacturer and one of the world’s largest PV solar module manufacturers. Our mission is to create enduring value by enabling a world powered by clean, affordable solar energy.

We operate our business in two segments:

Components Segment – Our components segment involves the design, manufacture, and sale of cadmium telluride (“CdTe”) solar modules, which convert sunlight into electricity. Third-party customers of our components segment include integrators and operators of PV solar power systems.

Systems Segment – Our fully integrated systems segment provides complete turn-key PV solar power systems, or solar solutions, that draw upon our capabilities, which include (i) project development, (ii) engineering, procurement, and construction (“EPC”) services, and (iii) O&M services. We may provide our full EPC services or any combination of individual products and services within our EPC capabilities depending upon the customer and market opportunity. All of our systems segment products and services are for PV solar power systems, which primarily use our solar modules, and we sell such products and services to utilities, independent power producers, commercial and industrial companies, and other system owners. Additionally, within our systems segment, we may temporarily own and operate certain of our PV solar power systems for a period of time based on strategic opportunities.

Minerals including tantalum, tin, tungsten, and gold (“3TG”) are classified as “conflict minerals” and are necessary to the functionality or production of certain products that we manufacture or contract to manufacture. As such, we are subject to the Rules with respect to those necessary conflict minerals. The Rules require us to conduct in good faith a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) into those necessary conflict minerals to determine whether they originated in the Democratic Republic of Congo (“DRC”) or an adjoining country (“a covered country” and together, the “covered countries”) or are from recycled or scrap sources. If, as a result of our RCOI procedures, we know or have reason to believe that any of our necessary conflict minerals originated in a covered country and are not from recycled or scrap materials, then we are required to exercise due diligence to determine the source and chain of custody of such conflict minerals.

First Solar Conflict Minerals Policy

To the extent we source minerals from the covered countries, we are dedicated to protecting and respecting human rights by responsibly sourcing such minerals. We have a long-standing commitment to conducting our business in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. First Solar condemns human rights abuses associated with the extraction, transport, or trade of minerals. Similarly, First Solar has a no tolerance policy with respect to corruption, money-laundering, or bribery. We require all direct suppliers to agree to follow such principles.



1



At the same time, First Solar supports sourcing from the covered countries when performed in accordance with accepted international standards, specifically within the guidance from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”).

Suppliers with minerals not found to be DRC conflict free in their sourcing will be given a reasonable amount of time to begin sourcing minerals responsibly and in a manner consistent with the principles of responsible sourcing from conflict-affected areas.

Description of Product Identification and RCOI Processes

We have concluded that, during the 2016 calendar year, we have manufactured and contracted to manufacture products containing certain conflict minerals. As such, we conducted a RCOI process to determine whether any of the conflict minerals originated, or may have originated, in the covered countries and whether such conflict minerals originated from recycled or scrap sources.

We conducted an assessment to determine which of our direct suppliers may be providing components of our products that are likely to contain conflict minerals. We employed a collaborative process to identify the applicable list of components and suppliers to focus our efforts, consulting with members of our supply chain department including commodity managers, suppliers, senior management, and other individuals familiar with the manufacturing and solar plant sourcing and construction processes. We verified with such personnel that the population of components and suppliers was complete and comprehensive for our 2016 procedures. We then identified the list of suppliers that we directly procured materials from (“tier one” or “direct” suppliers) to survey. These tier one suppliers were confirmed to have supplied products or components to us that contained conflict minerals between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2016.

The following conclusions were reached for our business segments:

Components Segment – We consider the majority of the parts and components that go into the manufacturing of our thin-film solar modules to be subject to the Rules, and such items are included in our RCOI procedures.

Systems Segment We consider our systems segment to be primarily a service, and not a “product” under the Rules. With the exception of solar modules, we do not manufacture the majority of the parts or components used in the balance of our systems. For those parts and components that we purchase, we generally do not exert design or material specification influence over such items, nor are the items engineered to our specifications. As such, the majority of our balance of system parts and components used within our systems segment are not subject to the Rules. However, there are a limited number of parts and components in our systems segment that we have determined to be subject to the Rules, and such items are included in our RCOI procedures.

Results

Leveraging the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative’s (“CFSI”) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”), our RCOI consisted of surveying tier one suppliers confirmed to have supplied products or components to us that contain conflict minerals that are used to manufacture our solar modules or that we contract to manufacture for our balance of system components used in our systems segment. This template includes information regarding the smelters, origins of conflict minerals, supplier due diligence programs, and whether the materials originate from recycled or scrap sources.

As part of reviewing the completed CMRT surveys, we assessed the responses for reasonableness by comparing them to prior year information and reviewing the completeness of current year surveys provided. Incomplete CMRT surveys were rejected back to the suppliers. For non-responsive suppliers, we have internal escalation procedures, which escalate to more senior members of our global supply chain organization depending on certain milestones within our RCOI timeline. For the suppliers that we considered to be applicable to the Rules, we received a 100% response rate after following our internal procedures.



2



Our tier one suppliers performed similar RCOI procedures to identify the chain of custody from their suppliers back to the smelter and country of origin. We relied on the good faith efforts of our tier one suppliers to provide us with reasonable information and representations relating to the smelter and country of origin. The smelter or refiner facilities that were used to process our necessary conflict minerals are contained in Appendix A. See “Smelter and Refiner Facilities” below for more detail regarding the information contained in Appendix A.

We received completed surveys from all suppliers included in the procedures outlined above and reached the following conclusions:

Components Segment – 57% of our applicable suppliers support our components segment. The applicable survey results showed that tin is the only conflict mineral of our solar module parts.

Systems Segment – 43% of our applicable suppliers support our systems segment. The applicable survey results showed that tin is the primary conflict mineral of our PV solar power systems. Additionally, tungsten, tantalum, and gold are contained in our tracker systems, which contain an electrical gateway, controller, and other parts that support the functionality to follow the sun’s irradiance throughout the day.

Based on the RCOI conducted for both business segments, we have reason to believe that a portion of our necessary conflict minerals originated or may have originated in the covered countries and have reason to believe that those necessary conflict minerals may not be from recycled or scrap sources. Based on this result, we exercised due diligence to determine the source and chain of custody of such conflict minerals as described below.

Framework Used to Develop Due Diligence Measures

In accordance with the Rules, we undertook due diligence efforts to determine the country, mine, or location of origin and facilities used to produce the conflict minerals used in our products. We have designed our due diligence measures to conform in all material respects with the internationally recognized due diligence framework as set forth in the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (“OECD Framework”) and related supplements for 3TG.

Due Diligence Undertaken to Comply with the OECD Framework

Our due diligence process for 2016 included the following steps:

OECD Step 1: Establish a Company Management System

We have adopted and communicated our conflict minerals policy both publicly and to relevant internal and external parties.
Our conflict minerals policy is available at http://www.firstsolar.com/-/media/First-Solar/Sustainability-Documents/FS-Mineral-Policy.ashx. Our conflict minerals policy is not incorporated herein by reference.
Beginning in September 2013, we adopted conflict minerals compliance language in our new supplier agreements and purchase order terms and conditions.
We have an operating cross-functional internal governance team with representatives from our supply chain, legal, sustainability, and finance departments to ensure policy statements and control processes are followed.
We have an existing records retention process and grievance mechanism for reporting policy violations via our Company hotline.

OECD Step 2: Identify and Assess Risks in Supply Chain

We conducted our surveys leveraging the CMRT, which was sent to all suppliers considered to be subject to the Rules. We used the CMRT to identify smelter or refiner facilities and country of origin of our necessary conflict minerals.
We relied on CFSI information and other information provided by our suppliers to identify countries of origin for Conflict-Free Smelter Program (“CFSP”) compliant smelter or refiner processing facilities.


3



We reviewed the responses from the CMRT questionnaires with our supply chain department cross-checking the list of CFSP processing facilities found at www.conflictfreesourcing.org, which website is not incorporated by reference herein.

OECD Step 3: Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Risk

We reported information on the source and chain of custody of our necessary conflict minerals to our conflict minerals steering committee, executive management, and the audit committee of our board of directors on a periodic basis.
As part of our internal conflict minerals policy, we have a conflict minerals risk mitigation plan that defines supplier-risk management strategies, including (i) continued procurement, (ii) assistance in identifying alternate sources of supply, and (iii) disengagement, the severity of which is at the discretion of our conflict minerals steering committee and executive management.

OECD Step 4: Independent Third-Party Audit of Smelter/Refiner’s Due Diligence Practices

As we do not source directly from smelter or refiner processing facilities, we rely on the CFSP to oversee and coordinate third-party audits of these facilities. The CFSP audit protocols and procedures were designed by the CFSI. These audit protocols and procedures require the smelters or refiners to engage specially trained third-party auditors to independently verify that these smelters and refiners can be considered conflict free.
We rely on the publicly available audit results of the CFSP third-party audits to validate the sourcing practices of processing facilities in our supply chain.

OECD Step 5: Report Annually on Supply Chain Due Diligence

We file a Form SD and Conflict Minerals Report with the Securities and Exchange Commission on an annual basis, as necessary. Our Form SD and Conflict Minerals Report are also available on our website at http://investor.firstsolar.com/sec.cfm.

Smelter and Refiner Facilities

In connection with our reasonable country of origin inquiry and due diligence efforts, our suppliers provided us with the facilities listed in Appendix A as potentially having processed the necessary conflict minerals used in our products during 2016.

330 smelters and refiners were identified by the suppliers (tantalum 47, tin 95, tungsten 48, and gold 140).
247 or 75% of the smelters and refiners were listed as CFSP compliant.
14 or 4% of the smelters and refiners were listed as active smelters and refiners.
69 or 21% of the smelters and refiners were listed on the Smelter Reference List tab of the CMRT but were not yet CFSP compliant or listed as active smelters and refiners.

Though we request that our tier one suppliers provide responses at the product-level, some of our suppliers provided responses at the company-level, meaning that they reported smelter and refiner information for all of their products, not just for the products sold to us. Accordingly, our list of processing facilities disclosed in Appendix A contains more facilities than those that actually process or refine the conflict minerals contained in our products.

Due Diligence Efforts to Identify Country, Location, and Mine of Origin of Conflict Minerals in Products

After obtaining CMRT forms and related documentation through our RCOI and due diligence processes as described above, we compared the smelters/refiners used by relevant suppliers against the list of smelters/refiners leveraging the audit results from the CFSP (www.conflictfreesourcing.org), which website is not incorporated by reference herein, as well as responses in the CMRT to gather the country, location, and mine of origin information. In addition, for smelters not certified under the CFSP (referred to below as “Known”), we obtained written representations regarding the chain of custody and origin of such minerals smelted in order to identify the mine or location of origin with the greatest amount of specificity possible.



4



First Solar has endeavored to determine the mine or location of origin of the necessary conflict minerals contained in our products through our CMRT responses. Where a smelter or refiner has been identified, we have reviewed public information, to the extent available, in an attempt to determine the mine or location of origin. Some of our suppliers reported location of origin information within their CMRT responses. The majority of our smelters reported to be sourcing from L1 countries or from recycled or scrap sources.

The countries of origin of the conflict minerals processed by the CFSP compliant and active smelters or refiners identified to us by our suppliers may have included the countries identified below:

L1 – Countries that are not identified as conflict regions or plausible areas of smuggling or export from these regions of conflict minerals:

Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Cote d’Ivoire, Czech Republic, Djibouti, Egypt, Estonia, Ethiopia, France, Germany, Guyana, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Kazakhstan, Laos, Luxembourg, Madagascar, Malaysia, Mongolia, Myanmar, Namibia, Netherlands, Nigeria, Peru, Portugal, Russia, Sierra Leone, Singapore, Slovakia, South Korea, Spain, Suriname, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, the United Kingdom, the United States, Vietnam, and Zimbabwe.

L2 – Countries that are known or plausible countries for smuggling, export out of region, or transit of materials containing conflict minerals:

Kenya, Mozambique, and South Africa.

DRC – The smelter is sourcing from the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Some of the conflict minerals processed by our CFSP compliant and active smelters or refiners may have originated in whole or in part from recycled or scrap sources.

Continuous Improvement Efforts to Mitigate Risk

We intend to advance the effectiveness of our due diligence efforts, further enhance our compliance processes, and mitigate any risk that the necessary conflict materials used in our products may benefit armed groups by taking the following steps:

1)
Engage further with direct suppliers and processing facilities to:

Improve the quality of processing facility data provided by our direct suppliers via the CMRT, including country of origin and mine or location of origin, and
Encourage non-CFSP validated processing facilities to become validated either through the CFSP or a CFSP-recognized third-party audit program.

2)
Continue to require conflict minerals compliance language in our supplier agreements and refine our internal operating procedures to continue to move towards a “DRC conflict free” supply chain across all business segments.

3)
Continue to monitor and track the RCOI and due diligence progress of our non-CFS suppliers, including the usage of smelters and refiners that have been certified by the CFS.

4)
Require periodic supplier re-certifications to confirm that their previously reported sourcing information has not changed.

*We note the following in connection with the table above:

a.
Active smelters and refiners have committed to undergo a CFSP audit or are participating in one of the cross-recognized certification programs. Smelters or refiners are identified as active in the CFSP once they submit a signed Agreement for the Exchange of Confidential Information and Auditee Agreement contracts, which is one of the first steps of the audit process. Smelters or refiners on the active list are at various stages of the audit cycle, anywhere from completion of the necessary documents to scheduling the audit date to enacting corrective actions in the post-audit phase.

b.
Though we request that our tier one suppliers provide responses at the product-level, some of our suppliers provided responses at the company-level, meaning that they reported smelter and refiner information for all of their products, not just for the products sold to us. Accordingly, our list of processing facilities disclosed in this appendix contains more facilities than those that actually process or refine the conflict minerals contained in our products.

c.
Known smelters and refiners include those reported entities that were listed on the Smelter Reference List tab of the CMRT because those are the only reported entities that we were able to determine were smelters or refiners.
