File photo of a construction worker fixing solar panels for a new solar power plant near Olching-Esting westward of Munich July 7, 2010. Workers in Germany's once gleaming solar sector face a shakeout of major proportions following declines in the price of solar panels over the past year. Cuts in subsidies for solar energy, weaker demand for panels and fierce competition from cheaper Asian rivals are eating into what was once the world's biggest hub for the production of solar cells, taking the shine off an industry that was effectively born in Germany.
