Taiwanese company reassures European regarding EU tariffs
In a clever, and some may say cynical, move, Taiwanese manufacturer WINAICO has sent out press releases to assure European customers that their product will not be hit by any tariffs as the deadline looms for the EU to decide on the anti-dumping case against China which has caused a great deal of uncertainty in the European market.
"With products from WINAICO solar installers, investors and banks are on the safe side. We have already responded to the increased demand and ramped up our production", says Sascha Rossmann, International Sales Director at WINAICO.
"At no point Taiwanese PV module manufacturers were ever associated with any EU duties. Just like the European manufacturers we think that fair competition and sustainable solar energy for the EU are absolutely desirable. Furthermore, economically we can not afford to sell our products below the cost", Rossmann continues.
Due to the boom of the solar industry, more and more solar companies were founded all over the world, but especially in China. The associated development of production capacities led to an oversaturation of the worldwide photovoltaic market within the last two years. This development of production capacities in China was especially supported by credits from Chinese banks at extremely reduced rates of interest.
