Meanwhile, heavily indebted wafer manufacturer LDK Solar saw its shares grow by 16% in the afternoon trading.

The addition brings the total support from the government to RMB13 billion, Reuters reveals, citing Chinese news site Xinhua. It also comes a day after Xinhua stated that China may double its installed PV capacity to 40GW by 2015. It was only in September when China announced an increase in its 2015 PV target to around 21GW, representing the third rise in just over a year.
