Solarfun has joined JA Solar and Yingli Solar to become the third Chinese crystalline-silicon PV cell manufacturer to sign a licensing agreement with Innovalight for the Sunnyvale, CA-based company's proprietary performance-enhancing nanosilicon ink process.

Financial terms of the three-year commercial deal were not disclosed.

Solarfun has said it plans to convert its cell manufacturing capacity to higher efficiency products through the introduction of selective emitter technology. The company will license a solar cell process and buy silicon ink from Innovalight for the production of high-efficiency cells on monocrystalline silicon substrates.

“We look forward to a long-term relationship with Innovalight to help us cost-efficiently improve the performance of our products,” said Peter Xie, president/CEO of Solarfun.
