SolTech Energy\u2019s jointly owned company in China, Advanced SolTech Renewable Energy Hangzhou Co. Ltd, ASRE, has signed an order with\u00a0NingBo RiXin Bearing Co Ltd. The order covers the installation of a 0.5 megawatt (MW) solar energy unit, estimated to generate approximately 540,000 SEK in annual income. Over the contract\u2019s 20-year term, total cumulative income is estimated to mount to approximately 10.8 MSEK.<\/strong><\/div>\n

The installation will produce circa 500,000 kWh, annually. The customer is contractually committed to buying all the electricity the installation produces over the span of 20 years. Over this same period, ASRE receives subsidies from Chinese authorities based on every kilowatt hour (kWh) delivered to the customer. Investment in the installation, which continues to be owned by ASRE, amounts to approximately 3 MSEK. It is expected to be completed during the month of January 2019.<\/p>\n

CEO Stefan \u00d6lander comments:<\/strong>
\n\u201dOur business sales in China continue to roll and our sights are now set on shortly witnessing the sum total of installed solar energy capacity passing the 100 megawatt watershed, which is equivalent to looking out over a vast field of solar panels covering the surface of 150 football fields. The subscription economy we are building in China \u2013 \u00a0which can briefly be summarized as entailing a continuous succession of long term sales that provide 20 consecutive years of profitable annual income \u2013 is very valuable for our shareholders. \u201c<\/p>\n

Investment in China<\/strong>
\nSolTech\u2019s investment in China is carried out by Advanced SolTech Renewable Energy\u00a0<\/em>(Hangzhou) Co. Ltd (ASRE), which is jointly owned by our partner,\u00a0<\/em>Advanced Solar Power Hangzhou Inc. (ASP). The business model consists of having ASRE finance, install, own, and periodically service solar energy installations mounted on the roofs of customer-owned facilities. The customer does not pay for the installed solar energy unit, but instead undersigns a long-term, 20-25 year contract to buy all the electricity the relevant unit produces. ASRE\u2019s current income comes from the sale of electricity to customers, along with various forms of subsidies based on kWh production. Focus is now concentrated on building a backlog of orders for 2019 and beyond, with the goal of obtaining an installed capacity of 605 MW (megawatts) by the close of 2021, which in 2022 will be set into full operation, generating current annual sales<\/em>\u00a0amounting to approximately 1 billion SEK (ca. 100 MEUR).<\/em><\/p>\n
