Solar cell maker Gintech Energy Corp (昱晶) said that it has inked an agreement to supply 30-megawatt (MW) high-margin solar modules to China Steel Corp (CSC, 中鋼), the biggest single order from a local business.

CSC, the nation’s biggest steelmaker, plans to utilize Gintech’s solar modules to build solar power systems with annual capacity of 80MW on the rooftops of its factories, offices and warehouses over a three-year period.

Based on the agreement, Gintech is to supply high-efficiency mono solar modules, each generating 290 or 295 watts, to China Ecotek Corp (中宇環保), a subsidiary of CSC, the companies said in a joint statement on Tuesday.    [FULL  STORY]
