In unfortunate news, SMA is announcing the layoff of about 1,600 coworkers around the globe. Solar is and continues to be a solar-coaster, and transitions are happening. There is optimism looking forward. Subsidy free solar is competing with retail energy around the world, more and more. Being global will be one of the most important ways that companies are able to do well and create profits for owners and shareholders. As EU countries go to self-consumption models, lessons from the US will be a key advantage for teams looking to do solar as a service in those areas.
