Good, this shows that 260 W in mainstream production is a fact.

Anybody knows if the 100 MW project in Japan has already been officially announced?

Someone asked the IR and they said the customer didn't want a PR.

Use of suppliers is often considered a trade secret and suppliers can only announce a portion of wins. Of course they want to announce as much as possible, but have to respect their customers wishes.

Quoted from "explo"

No, I think you got it mixed up. This is their naming conventions:

Virtus wafer (monocast) -> Virtus (I) module
Virtus A++ wafer (controlled poly) -> Virtus II module
Virtus A+++ wafer (controlled poly) -> Virtus III module

Initially the Virtus II module was 250-255w. Then it bumped to 250-260w. I have to agree that the trial production comments of 260w was a bit puzzling. They've said the Virtus II average is 255w, but I guess we can read this as 260w not having significant volume yet. Either that or their trying some improvement of the 260w.

I'm quite glad they could sell of all those flaky Virtus I in Q4 and basically only made wafer for Virtus II in the quarter.

This discussion got dropped awhile ago but i would have to think this is good news they are shipping the 260's. Looks like they got it dialed in and mass producing just in time for Japan Surge.

Also klothilde to address the 100 MW+ contract they got out of Japan, many weeks ago IR confirmed this with me but said they couldn't put it in a PR because customer didn't want to be named, I think which happens often.

I like this part...

With these revolutionary high conversion-efficient wafers, it is possible to develop energy-efficient, low-LID, and cost-effective cutting-edge modules such as Virtus II®. With its advanced technology and production capabilities, ReneSola became the FIRST PV company to MASS PRODUCE 260 W polysilicon PV modules.
