China Solar, which makes thin film photovoltaic cells, panels and modules for generating solar power, said the proceeds will be used for general working capital and to develop its building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) business.
The Chinese government said in March last year it would subsidize BIPV applications in large and medium-sized cities and off-grid applications in rural and remote areas, the company said. China Solar will deploy such projects in China through Guangdong Rising's networks.
China Solar's shares, which fell 7.5 percent on the last day they were traded, will resume trading in Hong Kong tomorrow, according to the statement.
