Our technology department works closely with our manufacturing department to lower production costs by improving our production efficiency. All of our research and development personnel in our technology department have undergraduate or higher education degrees. In July 2007, we established the Solarfun PV Engineering Center, which was also entitled as the Jiangsu Engineering Research Center for Solar Cell & PV Application by the department of science and technology of Jiangsu Province. This center, located near the manufacturing facilities in Qidong and equipped with a fully dedicated pilot production line and various characterization tools, focuses on improving the cell efficiency and extending its application.

We are also working together with universities and research institutes to develop new technology and products. In February 2006, we established the Linyang PV Research and Development Center with Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Under our agreement with the University, we are jointly entitled to the intellectual property rights relating to the research results of this center.
