According to the company, the cells will be used for the ongoing production of Solar Power’s (SPI) solar modules and to meet the demand for the company’s products in Europe, Asia, and for turnkey systems in the U.S. Supply to SPI begins immediately.
The agreement reportedly provides SPI with immediate supply of cells to meet anticipated production requirements of the company’s family of solar modules during 2009, said Solar Power.
Steve Kircher, CEO of Solar Power, said: “We are excited about the agreement with JA Solar. This relationship will allow us to leverage our vertical integration business model through the supply and we will be able to offer competitive pricing.”
Founded in 2005, Solar Power is a vertically integrated solar energy service provider covering the North American residential, commercial and public sector building markets. With a manufacturing facility in Shenzhen, China, the company provides turnkey design-build services through its Roseville, California headquarters and a retail distribution network.
