    1. Could First Solar still be profitable if silicon prices continued to fall?


    2. Was the systems business a competitive advantage or a distraction?
    3. What changes did First Solar need to make to counter the threat of Chinese entrants?
    4. If First Solar was forced to retrench, which market should the company focus on, and would
    it be able to prevail in that market?
    5. Could the company maintain its competitive advantage or would it follow other American
    solar manufacturers into bankruptcy in the face of these difficult challenges?
