Solarfun Power Holdings Co., Ltd. (NASDAQ: SOLF), an established manufacturer of photovoltaic (“PV”) cells, modules and ingots in China, today announced that one of its wholly owned subsidiaries has entered into a 47.0 MW sales contract with Schüco International KG (“Schüco”), a leading PV system provider in Europe. Under the terms of the agreement, Solarfun has agreed to supply a total of 47.0 MW of PV modules to Schüco at a fixed price to be delivered according to a binding delivery schedule from December 2008 to October 2009. The PV modules are intended to be installed in major projects in south-east Europe and the Middle-East.
Harold Hoskens, Chief Executive Officer of Solarfun, commented, “This is our largest project contract to date and we are happy to have signed it with Schüco. Schüco is a leading PV system provider in Europe and is recognized as an important player in the growing PV market. We look forward to further developing our relationship with them. We are also particularly happy to partner on this project since it gives us the opportunity to diversify our business outside of the more established markets in Europe and introduce our PV modules in significant quantities to south-east Europe and the Middle East, which we believe will be key markets for solar energy in the near future.”
