While the credit crisis has indeed affected the PV industry, German banks, investors and creditors have claimed that the financing of small PV systems in the private sector seems not to be endangered. Downstream players are still optimistic, but the upstream sector is anticipating severe damage as a result of the economic situation. An interactive workshop&#45;style discussion, hosted by the German market researcher EuPD Research and its consulting division 360Consult, invited top&#45;level executives to contribute their experiences of the current financial situation, as discussed in this paper.","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/www.pv-tech.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/pvtech-default.jpg","thumbnail_width":1200,"thumbnail_height":675}
