BERLIN, Germany: Swiss solar panel manufacturer Meyer Burger is scaling back operations at its German facility due to short-term supply issues.

The company announced midweek that around 300 workers at its plant in Germany will move to reduced hours beginning May 1. The decision follows material shortages that have disrupted production of its high-performance solar cells.

Meyer Burger is implementing short-time work arrangements for affected staff to manage the situation and reduce costs.

The impact of the bottlenecks isn't limited to Germany. The company also said operations at its U.S. site in Arizona have been adjusted, with technical work and module production now alternating daily.

Meyer Burger did not specify how long the supply disruptions are expected to last.
