“We are delighted that we have had this opportunity to demonstrate what we can do, particularly in the UK solar market which is still relatively young,” says Peter Schneidewind, sales director at Bosch Solar Energy. “Photovoltaics are becoming increasingly important here. We'll be seeing more and more solar systems in the future, particularly on the roofs of UK houses.”

This news comes as the UK Department of Energy and Climate change announces deep cuts to the feed-in tariff rates for systems over 50kW. All projects over this size must be completed by August 1 if they are to receive the existing rate.

Bosch Solar Energy is exhibiting at Intersolar Europe, booth A3.450.
