The solar company Meyer Burger is hoping for support from politicians to keep solar module production in Germany. "We have not yet made a decision," said CEO Gunter Erfurt at a press conference on Wednesday. However, there are good signals and the expectation is that the issue will be resolved. "But it is too early to decide whether we will remain in Europe." A decision is to be made in the course of February.
In mid-January, the Swiss company threatened to close its solar module production in Germany if the German government did not act quickly. The company mainly criticizes dumping prices for solar modules from China. With its factory in Freiberg (Saxony), the company claims to own the largest solar module production facility in Europe.
On Wednesday, the company announced a cooperation with the online platform Otovo. The Norwegian start-up aims to bring customers and installers of photovoltaic systems together via an online platform.
