Here we go again! Solarworld, under the auspices of competitive markets, is no longer okay with any Asian Country making solar panels. The EU is obliging and opening against Malaysia and Taiwan. Let’s talk about subsidies, specifically for the energy grid in the US, because that is what Solarworld uses but doesn’t want to talk about. Natural gas right of ways and drilling tax incentives, guaranteed infrastructure returns for the utilities and land incentives for hydro plants providing energy to the NW factories they use. Cheap panels are good for solar, let the market decide the price, not a company that can’t find its own value proposition.
