challenge for everyone whose manufacturing or owning panels in warehouses, but for the consumer it is excellent news. no one has got as cheap european energy as consumers are getting this year. how many ofthe are getting this year. how many of the solar _ are getting this year. how many of the solar panels _ are getting this year. how many of the solar panels you - are getting this year. how many of the solar panels you sell- of the solar panels you sell and install come from china? i estimate that about 90% are manufactured by chinese owned companies and 75% are produced in mainland china. we companies and 7596 are produced in mainland china.— in mainland china. we have certainly — in mainland china. we have certainly seen _ in mainland china. we have certainly seen just - in mainland china. we have certainly seen just what - certainly seen just what happens when europe becomes dependent on energy sources from potentially hostile foreign powers. do you think this all needs to be de—risked? i think you want the ability to make your own panels, make your own batteries. i think that makes sense from a security perspective, both energy security and national security. the difference between solar panels and gas is if you are an exporter, the chinese in this regard, become your enemy, the

panels will keep making energy for 30 years, whereas if your gas exporter becomes your energy it turns off immediately and you get cold immediately, so we have more response time with renewables than we do with fossil fuels, with renewables than we do with fossilfuels, but with renewables than we do with fossil fuels, but that doesn't mean we can go to zero. we absolutely need a local manufacturing value chain in europe. manufacturing value chain in euroe. , ., manufacturing value chain in euroe. , . , ., europe. operating profit rose 10% in the — europe. operating profit rose 10% in the first _ europe. operating profit rose 1096 in the first quarter - europe. operating profit rose 1096 in the first quarter for i europe. operating profit rose 1096 in the first quarter for a l 10% in the first quarter for a samsung electronics, they estimate, rebounding semiconductor prices lifted earnings from a low base a year ago, when there was a severe downturn in chip demand. now to india where central bankers are sad to announce their latest policy decision on friday. analysts say rates are expected to remain unchanged. we have more on what to expect and what are the factors likely to drive the banks decision.— are the factors likely to drive the banks decision. there are two major — the banks decision. there are two major factors _ the banks decision. there are two major factors that - the banks decision. there are two major factors that will. the banks decision. there are two major factors that will be i two major factors that will be on the mind of the officials of the reserve bank of india as
