First Solar

First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ: FSLR) is the largest American manufacturer of solar modules and the leading producer of thin-film cadmium telluride (CdTe) photovoltaic technology, an alternative to conventional crystalline silicon. It designs and manufactures Series 6 and Series 7 modules at vertically integrated factories in Ohio, Alabama, Louisiana, India, Malaysia and Vietnam, and supports utility-scale PV projects with energy prediction, plant design and post-sales technical services. First Solar publishes no public API, developer program or machine-readable contract. Its "Developer Portal" is a Salesforce Experience Cloud site for solar project developers and EPC partners, not software developers, and requires a login. PlantPredict, the energy-modelling API and Python SDK First Solar built, was acquired by Terabase Energy in October 2021 and is catalogued against Terabase.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Energy & Utilities regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/first-solar: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
