N-type monocrystalline wafer development
Currently the Ningxia factory has completed the ramp of N-
type monocrystalline wafer technology development and is
ready for production in a meaningful scale. In 2016, GCL will
officially enter the market of high-performance mono-
crystalline wafer market.
Diamond wire and black silicon technology
“Diamond-wire + Black Silicon” technology combo can
realize both conversion efficiency gain and cost reduction
for multi-crystalline wafers.
Pushing the envelope of technology innovation by
collaborating with our downstream customers in
“Black Silicon” solar cell technology.

Project overview in China (0451.HK)
24
In Feb 2016, the Group completed the
Rights Issue to raise ~HK$2.3bn and
has lowered the total liabilities to total
assets ratio from 89% to 83%
In view of low operational risk of solar
farms, banks are willing to provide
80% long-term financing. Strives to
maintain gearing level below 85%
The Company will adopt measures to
lower its gearing level:
− Invite equity investors on project
level
− Dispose of partial stake in solar
projects
Manageable Gearing Level (0451.HK)
25
China’s Accumulated Installed Capacity (GW)
Installed capacity: China’s 13th Five-Year
Plan has uplifted the solar installed
capacity target by 50% from 100GW to
150GW by 2020
Dispatch: Priority granted to solar energy
in grid access and dispatch
Increase in renewable energy surcharge:
Effective from Jan 2016, the renewable
energy surcharge has been raised 27% to
Rmb0.019 per kWh
Tax incentives: Solar projects enjoy first
three years income tax exemption and
50% reduction thereafter for the
subsequent three years
Preferential Government Policies
Significant growth of market potential
