"Sustainably cost-effective production is no longer possible at Gaomi due to the price drop, particularly for Chinese modules," says York zu Putlitz, CEO and CFO of aleo solar AG. "In the low-price segment, it is no longer possible to achieve adequate margins. aleo solar will supply only the premium segment in the future."
The Gaomi plant began production at the end of 2008 and its capacity by now is 90 megawatts.
