The company is facing intense price competition from Chinese manufacturers, with pricing in Europe near or below manufacturing costs, forcing a reduction in its own international production. This pain point creates urgency to optimize US manufacturing costs and supply chain efficiency to protect margins.
Filing excerpt
Given the combination of (i) a European market captured by Chinese solar modules, where pricing is at levels near or below manufacturing costs, (ii) an Indian market effectively closed to Southeast Asian products... we have reduced production of Series 6 modules at our international manufacturing facilities.
