Total revenues increased 20.8% sequentially and 37.8% year-over-year. We expanded our geographic reach, secured financial support from globally-respected financial institutions for our downstream business and solidified our position in important emerging markets where we have made strategic investments such as South Africa and Latin America.”
“Our downstream business continued to grow, with revenue from power generation for the quarter increasing 26.1% sequentially to RMB 61.0 million. In addition to theRMB1 billion strategic financing agreement we signed with China Minsheng Bank, mainly for our distributed PV generation systems, we secured US$225 million in private equity financing for our downstream solar power subsidiary, from China Development Bank International, Macquarie Greater China Infrastructure Fund and New Horizon Capital.”
