Solar cell manufacturer Runergy has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with equipment provider Shenzhen SC in a bid to add 30GW of mono PERC and 5GW heterojunction cell capacity to its lines.
The agreement, signed last week, will see Shenzhen SC supply core cell equipment and other automatic equipment for Runergy, installing it and offering technical support. Runergy will in turn contribute towards the equipment’s development before using it in cell manufacture.
