"The strong demand for high-quality wafer products witnessed during the
first quarter of 2010 continued through the second quarter as a result of
ongoing tightness in the wafer supply chain," said Li Xianshou, ReneSola's
chief executive officer. "Execution of our cost reduction strategies and the
efforts we have made to develop and position our business have allowed us to
capitalize on improved demand trends while becoming a leading low-cost solar
product provider. By leveraging our leading wafer manufacturing platform and
complementary OEM module production services and capitalizing on our strong
customer relationships, we have benefited from a cost-competitive strategy to
deliver record product shipments and increased profitability. We expect to see
stable pricing in the coming months as demand has remained strong and is
expected to continue in the second half of 2010."
2H 2010 Outlook
For the second half of 2010, the Company expects total solar product
shipments to be in the range of 600 MW to 650 MW. Net revenues are expected to
