As we orbited the sun, we exposed the back side of the collector to stardust, interstellar grains, that are actually coming in to our solar system at the present time.
The company is hoping to increase production and shipment at a time when many solar panel manufacturers are closing factories because prices for solar panels have tumbled over the past year.
Doing so is typical for all kinds of manufacturing, not just in solar, because it takes time to make sure all of the pieces of equipment work well together and produce products without defects.
Joanna Haigh, a solar physicist at Imperial College London, has spent a fair bit of research time investigating mechanisms that could potentially amplify solar changes into meaningful temperature variations on human timescales on Earth.
But the biggest sign that it is time to short First Solar has to do with insiders.

Apart from his obvious gifts, Superman's capacity for continual rebooting has kept him fresh from generation to generation: from leaping tall buildings in 1938 to traversing the solar system and even traveling through time in the 1960s and '70s, to surviving both death and matrimony in more recent decades.
At the time of initiation, household solar was an expensive novelty limited to a few early adopters.
At the time, shares in the solar panel manufacturer were up almost 500% since its 2006 IPO.

From there on the solar manufacturing world began to crumble and, along the way, we saw the demise of high-profile U.S. startups such as Solyndra and Abound Solar and the bankruptcies of long-time players such as Q-Cells in Germany.
In 1609, Italian philosopher and physicist Galileo Galilei used descriptions of Lippershey's gadget to build his own telescope, and with it he was able to observe the Earth, the Moon and several planets in our solar system in detail for the first time.
