Realforce Power claims it will reach a cell capacity of 700MW by the end of the year, up from 300MW earlier in the year. Module capacity was claimed to be 200MW recently, but the company has plans to increase capacity to 600MW by the end of 2011.

At end of year capacity figures the deal would indicate that the majority of its wafer requirements could be met by the new long-term contract with GCL-Poly. Realforce Power was established in 2008 in Jining, Shandong province, China.
