First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:FSLR) designs and manufactures solar modules. The Company uses a thin film semiconductor technology to manufacture electricity-producing solar modules. First Solar is the largest manufcturer of thin film solar modules in the world.

First Solar's current stock range is defined by current calculated support defined at $36.33 and by the resistance level at $44.16, the stock is clearly over-extended from support, making it difficult to establishing new long positions at this level.
