Siemens shuts Solel 4 years after buying it
Solel Thermal Systems, a solar energy equipment maker, is shutting down its plant in Beit Shemesh after failing to find a buyer. Siemens, the companys German parent, made the decision to close the plant. About 150 employees are expected to be laid off. Siemens had acquired Solel for $418 million four years ago but has since written off the entire investment. The closure of the plant is due to the collapse of the global thermal solar industry and the relatively high costs associated with it. Siemens was in talks with several multinational companies to sell the plant, but the negotiations fell through. Abengoa of Spain was one of the potential buyers, but they backed out due to an insufficient number of projects. Siemens is also selling its stake in the photovoltaic energy company Arava Power.
