The sales decline is believed to be primarily due to ASP declines.
Total external product shipments were 1,207MW, up 3.9% from the prior year period.
Solargiga had previously reported 2017 revenue of RMB 3,999 million (US$637 million), which was an increase of 32% from RMB 3,020 million in 2016. The increase in revenue was attributed to several key factors, not least the record PV installations in China in 2017 that exceeded 53GW.
