SolarProfit’s sales in the 2023 financial year were 66 million euros and the gross operating profit (Ebitda) was -33 million euros, and although preliminary balance sheet figures for the first quarter of 2024 are not yet available, SolarProfit says that the dynamics of the business have deteriorated.
