First Solar has returned and other investors are coming to Vietnam with large-scale production plans in anticipation of domestic demand and export opportunities for solar panels thanks to preferential tariffs.

Arizona-based First Solar has decided to give up the solar panel project and leave Vietnam. However, it’s still unclear about the fate of its assets, the factory and construction works it build in the country.

The leave of First Solar should not be seen as the sign of the US investment decrease in Vietnam, because General Electric (GE), one of the US leading groups, has announced the establishment of a high technology center in HCM City.
