Having previously supplied Sunergic S.A. with 1.1MW worth of PV modules at the beginning of this year, China Sunergy has chosen the Swiss company to test market reactions on their Quaser modules.

Industriel de Geneve received its first shipment of 0.30MW of the modules this month. The Quasar modules are China Sunergy's most advanced high efficiency solar products and they are now undergoing TUV Rheinland and UL safety and quality product certifications. The modules are being launched on a trial basis exclusively to long-term customers.

"We are pleased to see the Quasar module advancing into commercial production and sales and with good value for the price, this sale demonstrates that Quasar products have huge potential to become a key profit driver for CSUN in the future. It's great to be working with one of our key existing customers to introduce this new leading edge product," said Stephen Cai, CEO of China Sunergy.

Nico Lugt, Sunergic's CEO said, "Clearly, it's in the best interest of solar developers to buy modules that generate more electricity in the same amount of space, especially in Switzerland, because surface is rather limited and manpower for installation is expensive."
