Energy - Despite cutbacks: Manufacturer takes a positive view of the solar industry

Despite the planned cuts to solar subsidies in the German government's budget, solar company Meyer-Burger sees the agreement as positive. "We welcome the fact that the guidelines for the 2024 budget have now been established," Managing Director Gunter Erfurt told the German Press Agency. They are the basis for all further measures to rebuild the solar industry in Germany. The entire area of solar package 1 in the Renewable Energy Sources Act is not affected by the budget decisions.

With the solar package, the German government wants to reduce bureaucratic hurdles, among other things. For example, the operation of balcony power plants and the use of self-generated photovoltaic electricity in apartment buildings is to be made easier. The possibilities for solar systems on fields and farmland are also to be expanded.

Meyer-Burger claims to be the only company in Germany to manufacture its own solar cells and solar modules. The Swiss company has factories in Bitterfeld-Wolfen (Saxony-Anhalt) and Freiberg (Saxony).
