“The significant decline in module prices we've seen over recent months has caused many European markets to reach grid parity earlier than expected,” said Miguel de Anquin, president of Premier Power. “By mitigating the need for government incentives, these markets equate to stable and predictable growth for Premier Power. We expect to see this trend proceed in similarly structured markets as the global solar industry continues to mature.”
