Weak Solar Market Drives Down Profits for Soltech and BPC Instruments in Q2 2025

The ongoing challenges in the solar market have taken a toll on the financial performance of key players in the renewable energy sector. Soltech, a notable solar energy firm, reported a staggering negative EBITA of 44.7 million SEK for the second quarter of 2025, a significant decrease from a positive EBITA of 34.3 million SEK in the same period last year. This decline underscores the adverse effects of a weak solar market on the company's revenue generation, as revealed in their financial report published on August 27, 2025.

Similarly, BPC Instruments, which focuses on analytical instruments for renewable bioenergy, also reported disappointing financial results. Their operating profit fell to 2.4 million SEK, down from 3.2 million SEK in Q2 2024, despite a rise in net revenue to 16.9 million SEK from 14.1 million SEK. The company's net profit dropped to 2.0 million SEK, further indicating the financial strain faced, as earnings per share fell from 0.24 SEK to 0.18 SEK year-over-year.

These developments highlight the broader issues affecting the renewable energy sector with companies struggling to maintain profitability amidst a faltering market.
