First Solar Inc. (NASDAQ: FSLR) short interest drop by 6.9% to 13.58 million shares, which represents 19.6% of the company’s float.

Shares of both First Solar and SunPower have risen since June 24, and part of that rise is no doubt the result of some short covering. Both companies still have a fair portion of shares held short.
Among the Chinese solar stocks, JA Solar and Yingli saw big increases again in this period, even as share prices have risen. Investors probably believe that the share price increases will not continue.
