Key Achievements<br />
The Company has accelerated the transition of its product portfolio toward high efficiency mono, expecting to reach<br />
70% mono in 2019. This transition, including 16.5 GW of mono wafer capacity by Q2 2020, will strengthen the<br />
Company’s vertical integration and optimize the cost structure.<br />
The Company is matching the market with new products that customers demand. This is evident considering over 7<br />
GW of pre-orders of Cheetah and Swan modules in the past 12 months. The next generation of module technology is<br />
on its way with pilot production and certification process ongoing. The number of customers has grown steadily with a<br />
cumulative 3600+ worldwide by Q2 2019.<br />
