Comtec noted that it had improved net cash inflow from operating activities of approximately RMB82.4 million (US$12.7 million) in 2015, from a net outflow in 2014.

Monocrystalline wafer producer Comtec Solar Systems Group said it expected to report a loss of over RMB400 million (US$62 million) for 2015, due to a series of write-downs, advance polysilicon payments and declining wafer ASPs.

Comtec said that the anticipated net loss was mainly attributable to certain non-cash items charged for the year, which included RMB152.8 million (US$23.6 million) impairment losses on advance payments to suppliers, the write-down of inventory of approximately RMB112.7 million (US$17.4 million) due to the decrease in the market prices of solar wafers and polysilicon as well as the disposal of outdated production equipment of approximately RMB35.6 million (US$5.5 million) amongst other write-downs.

PV Tech has been running an annual PV CellTech Conference since 2016. PV CellTech USA, on 8-9 October 2024 is our second PV CellTech conference dedicated to the U.S. manufacturing sector. The event in 2023 was a sell out success and 2024 will once again gather the key stakeholders from PV manufacturing, equipment/materials, policy-making and strategy, capital equipment investment and all interested downstream channels and third-party entities. The goal is simple: to map out PV manufacturing in the U.S. out to 2030 and beyond.
