SolarWorld AG has established itself as a worldwide leader in the production and distribution of crystalline solar power technology. The basis for this is above all our high quality product range as well as the positioning of our strong brand. As a fully integrated company we will take on the increased price and margin pressure caused by the planned EEG amendment in the important German market as well as the worldwide increase in competition through cost reductions and technology optimizations along the entire value chain. Following our strategy we will expand our production capacities as planned and further invest in the quality of our products as well as the awareness of our brand so as to consolidate our positioning in our core markets and to open up new growth regions.
