“After the successful launch of the Black18 in March 2011, I’m pleased to announce the introduction of the Black19, whose efficiency has been raised by a significant margin,” said Dr. Quincy Lin, NSP’s chairman. “We believe this new product will be the perfect solution for customers, with whom we will work to achieve grid parity in the near future.”
