Monocrystalline wafer manufacturer Comtec Solar Systems has recorded ¥83.5 million (US$12.8 million) net profit during the first quarter of 2011. This was a huge 311.1% rise on the Q1 2010 number and highlighted an impressive set of unaudited figures for the opening three months of the year.

Total turnover for the Chinese firm over the period came in at ¥317.9 million (US$48.7 million) – a 60.3% rise on the 2010 figure – with a gross profit margin of 30.5%. This strong financial performance was chiefly driven by rising demand and prices for Comtec’s wafers, with the former being aided by increased production capacity.
