UK-based distributor and installer, Green Electrician Group, is buying PV modules from UK manufacturer Romag, avoiding the European Commission’s 11.8% duty applied to Chinese solar modules.
UEM, the grid operator and power utility company of the French city of Metz, has commissioned a 4.5MW solar park in La Fare-les-Oliviers, a village near Aix-en-Provence in the south of the country built by Conergy.
An industrial partnership between Pufin Group and Eurener Group expects to fill the gap left by Chinese rivals impacted by anti-dumping duties within the EU and capitalise on the expected increase in demand for solar cells and modules made within Europe.
Suntech Power Holdings claims to have sourced PV module components outside China to avoid anti-dumping duties imposed on the company by the European Commission of 48.6%.
Reduced German feed-in tariffs and rising module prices due to the impact of the EU anti-dumping investigation and preliminary duties mean the free-field PV project business in Germany is dead, according to major project developer, juwi.
Luxembourg-based manufacturer CNPV Solar Power has completed the first phase of a 10MW module supply deal with Indian steel and textile firm Cheenu Group.
