First Solar has gotten its cost per watt down 12% in 2007 to a rate of $1.12.
Unfortunately it did not offer guidance, so this pre-market jump could be different after the conference call starts at 8:00 AM EST. Shares closed at $175.56 yesterday, but shares are up over 14% pre-market to $200.00 in early trading.
