Feed-in Tariff Bonus For Global Solar Modules

Global Solar Energy, manufacturer of flexible solar modules Global Solar Energy has received certification from the German Technical Inspectorate, TÜV, confirming the European origin of its modules. This will allow operators of Italian plants equipped with Global Solar modules to snap up a 10% bonus additional to the regular feed-in remuneration.

TÜV's inspection of the Global Solar production sites confirmed that the modules comply with high European standards. In Italy, solar installations where at least 60% of the components are manufactured in Europe are rewarded under the "Conto Energia 4" feed-in program. This was introduced by the Italian government in an endeavour to promote products with the "Made in Europe" seal of quality. "The certification makes our modules particularly appealing to the Italian market", explains Jean-Noel Poirier, Senior Vice President of Marketing & Business Development at Global Solar Energy. "Furthermore the bonus really helps to stimulate innovation and production within the EU. The aim is to create and keep jobs within Europe instead of supporting the shift of production jobs to countries with low wage economies."
