And the official announcement is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bosch-presse.de\/presseforum\/details.htm?txtID=6195&amp;tk_id=107&amp;locale=en\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Pretty amazing that they spent well over $2 billion dollars building a solar business and have now decided to value it at zero.<\/p>\n<p>As far as I can tell this leaves only 2 genuine German-made brands that are now imported into Australia: Conergy (who only make their premium panels in Germany &#8211; the cheaper ones are made in China), and Solarworld. Let me know in the comments if I&#8217;ve missed anyone out!<\/p>\n<p>Solarworld are losing money hand over fist, and Conergy teetered on the edge a couple of years back. Last year Q-Cells filed for insolvency but were saved by the Korean Hanhwa Solar One. It is certainly getting harder and harder to find genuine German panels on the Aussie market.<\/p>\n<p>If you have been told by a sales person that you are getting German solar panels, then it really is worth checking out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/panels\/german\/\">my list<\/a> of genuine German companies and German-sounding companies that make all their panels in China.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday was a really sad day for fans of top-of-the-range solar panels.
