ReneSola has announced that it has developed a new multicrystalline wafer, the Virtus Wafer, which improves solar cell efficiency.

The Virtus Wafer, which has been endorsed by several leading global solar cell manufacturers, achieves an average cell conversion efficiency rate of 17.5%, more than 1% higher than the industry-standard cell conversion efficiency rate for cells using multicrystalline wafers.

ReneSola intends to commence pilot production of the Virtus Wafer in the first half of 2011.

Mr. Xianshou Li, ReneSola's chief executive officer, commented, "We are excited about our new Virtus Wafer, which is the direct result of our team's technological innovation and hard work. The Virtus Wafer is remarkable in that it's able to produce a conversion efficiency rate close to that of a monocrystalline wafer while maintaining the relatively low production cost of a multicrystalline wafer.

"We will continue to engage in RandD initiatives to stay at the forefront of solar technology and deliver high-quality, cost-effective solar wafers to leading energy companies across the globe."
