“We are interested in parts of the Bosch production [operation], in particular its solar cell manufacturing,” SolarWorld CEO Frank Asbeck was quoted as saying by German newspaper Handelsblatt.

The press official confirmed the accuracy of those statements.

Asbeck did not clarify how his embattled company would pay for any parts of the Bosch Solar businesses. After losing €2.4bn ($3.08bn), Bosch recently said it plans to exit the PV business, threatening some 3,000 jobs.
