EU ProSun President and VP of SolarWorld Milan Nitzschke this week debated Gregory Spanoudakis, President of Canadian Solar European Operations and Chairman of the Alliance for Affordable Solar Energy (AFASE) at the British House of Commons. From the article, it sounds like Nitzschke threw out a few cliche's and half-truths, while Spanoudakis hit him with some hard facts...
A couple of good quotes from the article;
"Nitzschke agreed that in the beginning the European industry needed Chinese manufacturers in order to make solar competitive."
Spanoudakis remained optimistic. “Certainly there is a willingness by all parties to talk” he told PV-Tech. “It’s a question of bringing all personalities and egos to the table. If we leave our egos and personalities at the door and talk, certainly I think there is constructive discussion that can take place.
Solarworld needs to stop blaming everyone else for their failings, and stop trying to delay solar's march to grid parity...what's good for Solarworld is not necessarily good for the rest of the world (except maybe big oil and coal).
