October 31 (SeeNews) - German photovoltaics (PV) maker SolarWorld (ETR:SWV) has expanded its third-quarter (Q3) loss before interest and tax to EUR 25 million (USD 27.4m) from EUR 6 million a year back due to a write-down of inventories.<br /><br /> The company unveiled on Friday its preliminary figures for July-September 2016, saying that it was necessary to make a EUR-13-million write-down of inventories during the period because of the global price erosion driven by increased dumping by Chinese manufacturers.
