     Chinese customer focus on lowest CAPEX and local suppliers. Over the years local suppliers succeeded step-by-step in taking
      over business from Western suppliers for standard PV equipment
     Standard PV technology approaches commoditization: After PERC, “commoditization effect” now also seen in wafer inspection
      systems where local Chinese suppliers offer “good enough” solutions at low prices. MB’s market share erodes product-by-
      product for standard PV technology to local CN suppliers
     Sharp decline of product contribution within 12 months: 70% volume effect and 30% margin compression
     Projected available profit pool for standard PV equipment is no longer attractive for Meyer Burger
