Solargiga Energy Holdings has posted a net loss of CNY 222.4 million ($33.08 million) for 2018, a sharp reversal from the CNY 107.5 million net profit it recorded in the preceding 12-month period.
In the first three quarters of 2018, the Chinese solar manufacturer shipped approximately 1.75 GW of PV products – 3.5% more than it did in the same period of 2017. Revenue from the manufacturing business, however, fell by 12.6%, while total revenue drop was 11.1%.
The Chinese solar equipment manufacturer says it has successfully ramped up its PV module line to a total annual output of 2.2 GW, and upgraded 150 MW of existing capacity to produce monocrystalline n-type IBC cell BS modules.
Chinese solar manufacturer reports a similar scale of first-half losses to the $15m profit it posted this time last year. Will the company’s decision to almost double module production capacity prove an inspired move or a mistimed disaster?
