In January it was reported that Bosch made a loss of US$1.4 billion in its solar division.
At the time, CEO Volkmar Denner told Bloomberg that “no final decision has been made for the strategic realignment”.
At the end of last year, Bosch also announced its decision to leave the Desertec project.
The company’s solar division currently employs 3,200 people.
