In total, the group aims to build about 1.05 GW of solar capacity, with a planned investment of RMB4.47 billion.

Shangji Automation said on Monday that one of its subsidiaries has signed a polysilicon supply deal with Zhongneng Polysilicon, a major producer and a unit of GCL. The agreement covers polysilicon supplies for the next 15 months. Shangji Automation will purchase 3,100 metric tons this year and 13,600 MT in 2021. The Shanghai-listed PV manufacturer will negotiate purchase prices with Zhongneng Polysilicon on a monthly basis.
