Chairman Kim Yeon-bae of the Emergency Management Committee of the Hanwha Group made round of trips to inspect the solar energy plants at home and abroad in recent months to encourage the officers and staff, especially, those working at wafer, ingots and module plants.

 The chairman visited Hanwha Chemical’s polysilicon plant in Yeosu, south Jeolla Province on June 22, and then Hanwha SolarOne’s ingot, wafer-cell and module plants in Renwonkang and Chidung China from June 25-27, and Cyberjaya, Malaysia to inspect the cell plant of Hanwha Q-Cell from June 30 before concluding his overseas tour in Tokyo where Hanwha Q-Cell Japan is in operation to check on the global market for solar energy and also to encourage the Japan affiliate’s officers and staff.

 Kim told the staff at Hanwha Q-Cell of Malaysia that we should not lose the opportunity facing us now and try to be a top solar power company in the world so that the world solar market would remember us whenever it hears the name of our company comes up.

 Hanwha SolarOne and Hanwha Q-Cell’s combined solar module shipment came to from 420 to 450 MW in the second quarter this year, up 70 percent YoY and they sold modules in Japan 130 percent more than what they recorded in the Q4 last year, and thus expects to post more than 400 MW in sales in Japan for this year.
