PR Newswire (US)
SHANGHAI, Feb. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Solarfun Power Holdings
Co., Ltd. ("Solarfun" or "the Company") (NASDAQ:SOLF), a vertically
integrated manufacturer of silicon ingots and photovoltaic "PV"
cells and modules in China, today announced the introduction of
"ECLIPSE," a new line of PV cells and modules with reduced light
induced degradation (LID). The largest percentage of degradation of
PV modules occurs during the first day of sun exposure. "ECLIPSE"
reduces the impurity concentration in cells, therefore reducing the
relative LID to about 1% from 2% to 3%, or less than 2W compared to
about 4W to 5W for a 180W module equipped with standard cells. This
results in an increase in electricity generation of about 1% to 2%
more power over a one-, five-, 10-, and 25- year period when
compared with standard modules. Peter Xie, President of Solarfun,
commented, "We have devoted considerable resources and management
attention to develop and produce differentiated products. We are
proud to introduce this innovation in our new 'ECLIPSE' line with
reduced LID. The advance is made possible by our vertically
integrated manufacturing model and ability to control the quality
of raw materials throughout the production process. By adjusting
chemical properties in both the ingot-making and cell-processing
phases of manufacturing, we have achieved a low concentration of
impurity while still maintaining high yields. We remain committed
to our strategy of continually enhancing our technology to produce
differentiated and more efficient products for our customers." This
