On May 26, 2008, Xinyi Solar introduced China's first high-conductive thin film PV glass production line, and purchased a magnetron sputtering equipment from Germany LEYBAO Optical Co., Ltd., mastering the world's most advanced vacuum technology. It is intended to produce high-end PV thin-film conductive glass for new generation of thin-film solar cells, to capture the world market demands for thin-film solar cells. With a total investment of approximately HK$ 100 million, the new production line is proposed with an annual production capacity of 680,000 square meters and is expected to be put into operation in June 2009.
