James Poole, Fidelis chief executive officer and president said, “During this fourth quarter, we achieved record revenues and shipments, both of which exceeded our previous targets. We continued to execute on our solar integration strategy, increasing our capacities and improving control over manufacturing processes and costs. Fidelis has also secured additional solar module contracts for 2011 with both existing and new leading solar companies.
