Bloomberg has revealed that First Solar’s senior vice president for its project engineering, construction and maintenance division, James Lamon has left the company. First Solar, a specialist in utility-scale PV projects, is now seeking a replacement to head its project construction division.

In the meantime, heads of several other departments have assumed Lamon’s role until a replacement is found, according to Bloomberg who cited Ted Meyer, a spokesman for Tempe, as its source. No further information was revealed with regards to reasons for Lamon’s departure.

In May, First Solar appointed James Hughes as its CEO who joined the company in March as chief commercial officer. He replaced Mike Ahearn, First Solar’s founder and chairman, who was serving as an interim CEO.
