SolTech Energy\u2019s jointly owned company in China, Advanced SolTech Renewable Energy Hangzhou Co. Ltd, ASRE, has signed an order with\u00a0JiangSu SanPeng Auto Parts Manufacturing Co Ltd. The order covers the installation of a 1.1 megawatt (MW) solar energy unit estimated to provide annual earnings amounting to approximately (MW) 1.2 MSEK. Over the contract\u2019s 20-year term, cumulative income is estimated to amount to approximately 24.7 MSEK (ca. 2.47 MEUR).<\/strong><\/div>\n

The installation will cover a roof surface area measuring circa 11,000 sq. meters and annually produce circa 1,155,000 kWh. The customer is contractually committed to buying all the electricity the installation produces over the course of 20 years. Over this same period, ASRE receives subsidies from the 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 6.9 MSEK (ca. 0.69 MEUR), and it is expected to be completely installed during January 2019.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

CEO Stefan \u00d6lander comments:<\/span><\/span><\/strong>
\n\u201d The business situation in China continues to be favorable. And, above and apart from the prospect of good income over a very long period of time, I take pride in the contribution we are making toward the environment. This solar installation alone reduces the charge of 1,155 tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every year (at the rate of 1 kg per kWh). Or considered from another perspective: In effect, this installation is equivalent to planting 110,000 trees (10 trees per m2<\/sup>). \u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Investment in China<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/strong>
\nSolTech\u2019s investment in China is carried out by a jointly owned company, Advanced SolTech Renewable Energy\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/em>(Hangzhou) Co. Ltd (ASRE), where<\/span><\/span><\/em>\u00a0SolTech owns 51 percent and Advanced Solar Power Hangzhou Inc. (ASP) owns 49 percent. 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 2018\/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<\/span><\/span><\/em>\u00a0amounting to approximately 1 billion SEK (ca. 100 MEUR).<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
