Solarfun Power Holdings Co. Ltd has signed three contracts for sale and delivery of wafers totaling $230 million over a seven-year period with a major Korean conglomerate.
According to the agreements, Solarfun will receive a predetermined amount of wafers beginning in January 2008 with volumes reaching over 30MW per year in 2011. The prices will be fixed with a declining price structure throughout the term of the contract. Additionally, the Korean firm will hold options to purchase back a certain percentage of the wafers as modules beginning in 2009.
"We are pleased to develop a long term partnership with a proven player and look forward to growing our relationship with them in many areas," said Solarfun's Chairman Lu Yonghua. "This contract will be a key factor towards fulfilling our immediate expansion goals of 360MW in production capacity by mid-2008 and allows us to explore OEM as a possible addition to our business model."
