[ExI] Bosch exits Solar business in Germany

[Keith Henson]

"German engineering company Bosch said Friday that it is abandoning
its solar energy business, because there is no way to make it
economically viable.'We have considered the latest technological
advances, cost-reduction potential and strategic alignment, and there
have also been talks with potential partners,' Bosch CEO Volkmar
Denner said. 'However, none of these possibilities resulted in a
solution for the solar energy division that would be economically
viable over the long term.'"
