Having been a long-term supplier of ingots and solar wafers to Sharp Corporation, China-based Solargiga Energy Holdings has signed a new deal to include 370MW of PV modules in 2013, making Solargiga, Sharps largest PV product supplier, according to the company.
In a Hong Kong Stock Exchange statement, Solargiga said that it had originally been a supplier of solar ingots to Sharp, starting nearly 10-years ago, which expanded to include solar wafers and solar cells.
However, the newly signed module supply agreement was actually more than double Solargiga’s actual module production capacity. To meet Sharp’s module supply needs, Solargiga would ‘adapt a commissioning process to allow the Group’s production capacity and quality to meet the expected demands.’
Solargiga had recently said that it was virtually sold out for the year with annual monocrystalline silicon solar ingot production capacity of approximately 1.2GW; annual monocrystalline silicon solar wafer production capacity of approximately 900MW, while the annual capacity of solar cells and modules stood at approximately 300MW and approximately 150MW, respectively.
