The first contract with Xuzhou Xie Xin PV Power was for supplying 10 megawatts photovoltaic modules for a project in Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province and the ordered modules were delivered during the fourth quarter of the year 2009. The second and third contracts were for a project funded by the government in Anhui Province. These two contracts possessed a total of 2.65 megawatts.
Four companies including Solarfun won the bid to participate in the 15 megawatt project funded by Anhui Province. The modules are scheduled for delivery during the year 2010. The project depends on further government approval and financing.
