The new solar PV manufacturing lines include a 300 MW PANDA monocrystalline silicon based production capacity at the Company's Baoding headquarters, and a 100 MW multicrystalline silicon based production capacity in Haikou, Hainan Province.

The expected output of these new lines this year has been fully booked by our customers. We believe our expanded product portfolio and increased capacity will further solidify our industry leadership worldwide."
