- Four Chinese-made solar modules from DMEGC lost eligibility for France’s reduced 5.5% VAT rate due to traceability errors affecting carbon footprint calculations.
- The error was identified by Certisolis during a second review, marking the first such incident among 6,000 applications.
- DMEGC admitted the mistake, withdrew affected modules from sale, and will reimburse the VAT difference for already installed modules.
- DMEGC plans to resubmit corrected documentation to regain certification.
- Certisolis will increase scrutiny of future applications; currently, only Voltec and JinkoSolar remain certified for the reduced VAT rate.
