According to ProSun, the dismissal of 500 people at SolarWorld is due to China's desire to sell in Europe at dumping prices.

SolarWorld announces that 500 temporary employees at its factories in Freiberg and Arnstadt will be made redundant by the end of the year due to the fall in the price of panels on the world market. The 2,000 permanent employees are not affected. This would allow production to be adjusted to global overcapacity.

The pressure group EU ProSun, which is close to SolarWorld, accuses China of provoking the dismissal of 500 people in the company, circumventing anti-dumping duties with installations in various South-East Asian countries and increasing sales in Europe at dumping prices. It accuses China of dumping panels into Europe that can no longer find use in China because of overly large installations in the first half of 2016 .
