For wind turbines that is still strong. It is just solar that is the problem. For the most part that was doing well, due to heavy subsidies for new solar installations in Germany. As soon as Chinese solar panels appeared, they were cheaper then German ones. Then subsidies got slashed at the same time and protection was low. So the domestic market shrunk a lot, while China was taking market share. Really bad government response.
