Solar 8 Energy AG plans to issue a €10,000,000 public bond at a fixed interest rate of 9.25% to finance a €43,000,000 investment for expanding solar energy capacity in Italy. The project aims to add 11.5 megawatts to its existing 1.5 megawatt capacity by tapping into Italy's lucrative solar market supported by government subsidies. The company is currently awaiting final approval of its prospectus by German financial authorities before launching the bond offering.
