German PV sees positive growth again
The sales turnover of the manufacturers of equipment, machinery and plants for the photovoltaic industry in Germany for the first quarter of 2009 has exceeded the respective quarter of last year by 60 per cent.(...) For the second quarter the participating companies expect yet another turnover growth of 9%. The orders on hand remain at a high level, the range of orders only slightly went down to 10.2 production months. "The current oversupply of solar modules and financing problems of the manufacturers slow down the expansion of production capacities. Therefore, it comes as no suprise that the sales growth has declined significantly compared to the doubling it has seen for the last three years.
