Product history
DelSolar has started its initial solar cell production in 2005 with the capacity of 25MW and launched the first solar module series in 2009 with up to 230W power output. The company had 11 production lines with total capacity of 436 MW by the end of 2010. DelSolar is executing its capacity expansion plans given the robust trend in demand. On 4 June 2010, DelSolar announced its ground breaking ceremony for Jhunan plant, which is expected to be completed and begin its mass production in Q2, 2011. The estimated solar cell production capacity could reach 3 GW. The second manufacturing plant, which is planned as a module plant, is expected to be completed at the end of 2012. The module capacities of DelSolar are 45 MW and 70 MW in Hsinchu plant and Wujiang plant respectively. Wujiang plant is expected to reach the total solar module capacity at 1 GW in year 2013.Market performance
In 2009, the total shipment of DelSolar is 90.8 MW. According to the company’s 2009 financial report, total revenues was US$ 135 M. Sales has been primarily in Europe, approximately 60%. DelSolar has started their module business in US and is optimistic about US market as the company will leverage their market resources in US.World games stadium, Kaohsiung, Taiwan: 1MW
