Investment in China<\/span><\/span><\/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 and\/or thermal heat the relevant unit produces. ASRE\u2019s current income comes from the sale of electricity to customers, along with various forms of subsidies per produced kWh. Focus is now concentrated on building a backlog of orders for 2017 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 (103 MEUR).<\/span><\/span><\/em>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
