Advanced Soltech's subsidiary in China, ASRE, has signed an order with Shanxian City Construction Investment Co. Ltd. The order concerns the installation of a solar energy plant of 11 megawatts (MW) and is estimated to generate annual revenues of approximately SEK 6.1 million, or approximately SEK 122 million during the agreement's 20-year term.

The order is divided into two phases where 7.5 MW is built in the first phase and 3.5 MW in the second. When 11 MW is built and connected to the grid, the plant is estimated to produce approximately 12,760,000 kWh annually, which for 20 years will be sold directly to the electricity grid. The investment in the 11 MW plant, which will be owned by ASRE, amounts to approximately SEK 50.6 million and construction is scheduled to start in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Advanced Soltech's CEO Max Metelius comments:

– We are happy and proud of this very large deal which is our second largest to date. In terms of size, this roof-based facility of 11 MW can be compared with Sweden's largest solar park in Linköping, which is ground-based and will be 12 MW. In this project, we sell the electricity produced directly to the local grid company, which provides extremely low counterparty risk and good profitability. Despite the Corona crisis, we see strong demand for our offering in China and we are optimistic about future business opportunities.

About the China venture

Soltech Energy's investment in China is conducted in Advanced Soltech Renewable Energy (Hangzhou) Co. Ltd, ASRE, its wholly owned local subsidiaries and in Longrui Solar Energy (Suqian) Co. Ltd. The business model consists of financing, installing, owning and managing solar energy installations on customers' roofs in China. The customer does not pay for the plant, but instead undertakes to buy the electricity that the plant produces under a 20-year agreement. Current income comes from the sale of electricity to customers and from various forms of subsidies per kilowatt hour (kWh) of solar produced. The goal is to have an installed capacity of 1,000 megawatts (MW) by 2023, which is fully connected to the electricity grid by 2024. ASRE and Longrui Solar Energy (Suqian) Co. Ltd. are wholly owned subsidiaries of Advanced Soltech Sweden AB (publ). ASAB is 51% owned by Soltech Energy Sweden AB (publ) and 49% by Soltech's Chinese partner, Advanced Solar Power Hangzhou Inc.

Advanced Soltech's subsidiary in China, ASRE, has signed an order with Daikyo Nishikawa Tongyang Auto Parts Co. Ltd. The order concerns the installation of a solar energy plant of 425 KW and is expected to generate annual revenues of approximately SEK 380 thousand, or approximately SEK 7.6 million during the agreement's 20-year term.

The plant is estimated to produce approximately 446,250 kWh annually and the customer buys the electricity that the plant produces for 20 years. The investment in the facility, which will continue to be owned by ASRE, amounts to approximately SEK 2.4 million and construction is scheduled to start in the fourth quarter, 2020.

The total installed solar energy capacity in China now amounts to 143 megawatts (MW). This corresponds to approximately 1,430,000 square meters of roof or approximately 204 soccer pitches. The energy produced each year corresponds to the electricity consumption in approximately 9,000 Swedish villas.

Advanced Soltech's CEO Max Metelius comments:

– We are noticing an increase in activity in China despite the Corona crisis and we are optimistic about future business opportunities. This order is the second phase in an already existing installation, which proves that customers are happy to increase their investment in solar energy when they see the positive effects and that ASRE can also increase its installed solar energy capacity through additional sales to existing customers.

An exclusive partnership agreement has been signed by Advanced Soltech Sweden AB (publ) “ASAB” wholly owned subsidiary Advanced Soltech Renewable Energy Hangzhou Co. Ltd. "ASRE" in China on the construction of 35 megawatts (MW) of solar energy capacity. The agreement has been signed with FengXian Economic Development Zone Investment Development Co. Ltd., owned by the local government in the city of FengXian in JiangSu Province.

The agreement is expected to be fully extended and without contributions from either the provincial or central government will generate annual revenue of just over SEK 31 million. This corresponds to an annual return on invested capital of about 15%, which again shows that ASAB / ASRE does not depend on contributions to achieve good profitability.

In connection with the conclusion of the agreement, it was decided that ASRE will build 6 MW during 2020. The plants are expected to produce approximately 1.1 kWh per installed watt and year and are wholly owned by ASRE. The customer undertakes, for 20 years for each plant, to purchase the electricity produced.

Soltech Energy ́s CEO, Stefan Ölander in a comment:

  • We are very pleased that the market in China is again open to large business after the worst period of the Corona pandemic. In the spring of 2019, we signed a cooperation agreement in another city and with another local government, the Jiangsu Province, of 500 MW of solar energy capacity. This is our second agreement in the province where we now consolidate our position. In addition to the new agreement, we have connected additional capacity to the grid and have now passed 140 MW of installed and revenue-generating capacity and have another 7.5 MW of new solar energy capacity under construction.

Stockholm in May 2020
Soltech Energy Sweden AB (publ) Board of Directors

Soltech becomes the official partner of Sweden’s pavilion at Expo 2020 in Dubai and will showcase innovative solar energy solutions for solar roofs and solar panels on the Sweden's pavilion – investing in solar energy for the world exhibition fits well into the exhibition's theme "Connecting Minds – Creating the Future". Sweden's pavilion is located in the area of Sustainability. Expo 2020 will be the Swedish government's single largest investment in export and investment promotion.

At the Swedish pavilion "The Forest", 500 m2 of the roof will be covered by Soltech's product "ShingEl" and 500 m2 of the facade with Soltech's product "Facade". The pavilion is based on the idea of the extensive freedom and wilderness in a forest. With renewable solar energy on roofs and facades, the energy solution is also endless and fits well with the pavilion's concept and the message that Sweden wants to send to the visitors of the Expo. For Soltech, the collaboration means not only exposure but also a positive business value.

– “We need to prepare for a reality where the world, Sweden, and companies are resuming operations and where everyday life is returning to normal after the Corona crisis. It is important to be able to show long-term sustainable solar solutions that are aesthetically pleasing and adapted to modern design and architecture. We are confident that the exposure and attention that our products will receive in Dubai will lead to exciting business opportunities both in Sweden and internationally, says Stefan Ölander, CEO of Soltech Energy

The products "ShingEl" and "Facade" have integrated solar cells with a design that makes the roof and facade both stylish and energy efficient. The possibilities of integrated solar cells are many and it is a market with rapid growth and great needs. The target group for "ShingEl" is both villas and commercial properties. Facade is especially suitable for properties with larger areas such as factory and logistics premises or cool schoolbuildings and sports arenas.

– We are very pleased to have signed an agreement with Soltech as our sponsor for solar energy. Their integrated products will fit well into our futuristic design of the pavilion, says Staffan Schartner, Head of Construction on the Committee for Sweden's Participation

It is with both joy but also a portion of thoughtfulness and careful consideration that the agreement has been signed in these times of Coronavirus. At the same time, it is proof of Soltech's drive and ambitions. Of course, all planning and participation in Expo 2020 in Dubai will continue to follow the guidelines provided. The World Exhibition is postponed and will take place between October 1, 2021 and March 31, 2022. The name Expo 2020 will remain.
