Überkapazitäten by the Chinese Repairman
“The global PV market has become an infinite business in these years. In the segments Home and Commercial and Industrial, the entry of the high-level stocks is best with distributors and installers. If a sunken flow occurs, many states die of investments and an extensive sale of shares by Chinese repairers, who are so heavily taxed on the market. Due to the sunken premiums for PV supplies, more premiums can possibly be reduced. A segment of large-scale and project solutions, which delivers a higher operational performance, is not affected by this. In this changed environment, it is said that our diversification model with three segments for SMA is a greater advantage and can be more flexible if Mitbewerber can act”, says Jürgen Reinert, Vorstandsvorsitzender SMA. “A suggestion is to purchase a high storage capacity plan in the context of production in the large-scale segment.”

Gleichzeitig has a great value to massive costs, a cost structure and the working capital and the reduced level at the level of the cash flow that stabilizes, very by Barbara Gregor, Finanzvorständin SMA.
