May 30, 2025 | Meyer BurgerEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Meyer Burger Technology AG is forced to stop its solar module production in the U.S., which is still ramping up, due to a lack of funds. On May 29, 2025, all 282 remaining employees at the Goodyear, Arizona, site received their notices of termination. Production with an annual capacity of 1.4 gigawatts was shut down immediately. The future of the site is uncertain.
Meyer Burger is still in talks with an Ad hoc group of bondholders about restructuring. This affects two convertible bonds issued by MBT Systems GmbH, guaranteed by Meyer Burger Technology AG, and due in 2027 and 2029.

Elementary, Mr. Watson: The Gooey Centers of Hybrid PCB Designs
10/09/2024 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. WatsonAnyone who knows me knows that I have a special relationship with food. Taking a twist on the words of Will Rogers, "I never met a buffet I didn't like." A balanced diet, to me, means having cupcakes in both hands. One of my favorite foods is cheeseburgers. One of my colleagues at Palomar College recently invited me out for a meal, and we ended up in a burger place in San Diego. I wanted to go the conventional and safe route: a double-patty cheeseburger. My friend insisted that I try the restaurant’s special: a peanut butter cheeseburger. “Really?” I told him. “What an interesting combination.” But he insisted I try it, and since I consider myself an adventurous person, I gave it a go.
