Solar-Fabrik AG has signed an agreement with JA Solar Holdings Co., Ltd. to supply 30MW of solar cells. Currently, the agreement calls for a one-year term, but both companies have shown interest that it be extended. This agreement also expands Solar-Fabrik’s market share and helps achieve its goal of increasing solar panel sales by 70% in fiscal 2009.

Five-inch monocrystalline wafers will be supplied per contract terms, but the contractual volume will expand to include the supply of six-inch monocrystalline and polycrystalline cells.
