<p>German solar module manufacturer <span class="hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline"><span class="whitespace-normal">Soluxtec</span></span> has filed for insolvency proceedings with the <span class="hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline"><span class="whitespace-normal">Bitburg District Court on</span></span> Wednesday.</p>
<p>The court appointed attorney <span class="hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline"><span class="whitespace-normal">Jakob Joeres</span></span> of auditing and consulting firm <span class="hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline"><span class="whitespace-normal">dhpg</span></span> as provisional insolvency administrator. He will work with the solar module manufacturer’s management to stabilize operations.</p>
<p>“Immediately after the provisional insolvency proceedings were ordered, I will first gain a comprehensive overview of the financial situation. At the same time, I will immediately begin discussions with management and potential investors,” said Joeres.</p>
<p>The insolvency proceedings affect 70 employees at the company, which has manufactured solar modules at its German facilities in <span class="hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline"><span class="whitespace-normal">Bitburg</span></span> and <span class="hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline"><span class="whitespace-normal">Föhren</span></span> for 15 years. Employee wages are secured for three months through insolvency benefits. Staff were informed about the process during an internal meeting.</p>
<p>The company said it plans to restructure through standard insolvency proceedings. It aims to continue supplying customers with solar modules and preserve jobs.</p>
<p>“Discussions with potential investors have already begun, and we hope to bring them to a successful conclusion soon,” said <span class="hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline"><span class="whitespace-normal">Tim Leukert</span></span>, managing director of Soluxtec.</p>
<p>Intense international competition and sharply declining module prices continue to pressure photovoltaic manufacturers in <span class="hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline"><span class="whitespace-normal">Germany</span></span> and across <span class="hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline"><span class="whitespace-normal">Europe</span></span>. Several competitors have already exited the market, while growing demand has so far created only limited niche opportunities for European suppliers.</p>
