Lerri Solar, DelSolar, CNPV, Motech and Xian Longi have withdrawn from the EU’s Minimum Import Price (MIP) undertaking and will instead have to service their European customers via manufacturing facilities abroad.

The European Commission has warned China that it will reassess the future of the minimum import price (MIP) if a pattern of breaches continues.

New research undertaken by the in-house research team at Solar Media Ltd. reveals that 2017 is expected to be the year that Longi Silicon Materials (incorporating its subsidiary LERRI Photovoltaic Technology) finally moves into the upper echelon of solar PV manufacturers.

The European Commission has withdrawn Chinese solar panel manufacturer Shinetime China and its related company in the EU, Shinetime Europe, from the EU-China price undertaking.

The UK and Germany appear to be increasingly at odds over the future of the solar price undertaking between the EU and China.

The lack of relevance of the MIP to global pricing movements during 2015 was the nail in the coffin for Trina, writes Finlay Colville.

Trina Solar has elaborated on its decision to withdraw from the EU-China price undertaking stating that the restrictions within the agreement limited its sales, marketing and manufacturing.

Trina Solar has withdrawn from the EU-China price undertaking saying that it is no longer a fair agreement. It will instead serve the EU from facilities outside of China.
