Global Solar Energy Inc., based in Tucson, Arizona, announced the news that the German executive team’s decision will not influence its Tucson production line. The company will cease operation of its 35MW German facility in Berlin.

Discussing the situation, CEO Jeffrey Britt explained: “The EU renewables market is financially challenging due to high inventories, collapsing prices and significant reductions to European feed-in-tariffs. As a result of this difficult operating environment, a strategic decision has been made to plan and execute an EU capacity reduction and focus investment on the products and technology necessary to meet our customer’s needs and fulfil our business plan.
