“Despite the difficult market environment, our Italian subsidiary is successful in the trading business,” noted Ulrich Reidenbach, Chief Sales Officer of Phoenix Solar AG.
We are also particularly pleased that all the power plants built by Phoenix Solar in Italy were connected to the grid by the deadline of 31 August 2011 and are therefore eligible for the feed-in tariffs valid up until then.”
Phoenix Solar also noted that it had received orders of almost 4MW for solar modules in the Components & Systems business segment from Italy in August.
