GCL-Poly said that it had entered into its eighth module sales agreement with Chaori Solar, which included the purchase of both 300W and 305W modules for its downstream PV power plant projects, totalling around 30MW at a cost of around US$19.6 million (US$0.65/W). Payment conditions were similar to other recent deals.
