Solarfun Power Holdings Co., Ltd. ("Solarfun" or "the Company")
(NASDAQ:SOLF), an established vertically-integrated manufacturer of
silicon ingots and photovoltaic (PV) cells and modules in China, today
announced that Jiangsu Linyang Solarfun Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of
Solarfun, has entered into a 30MW sales contract with Martifer Solar
Sistemas Solares SA, headquartered in Portugal and a leading solar
project developer, installer and producer in Europe.
Under the terms of the agreement, Solarfun has agreed to supply a
total of 30MW of PV modules to Martifer Solar at a fixed price to be
delivered according to a binding delivery schedule from January 2009

Solarfun CEO Harold Hoskens commented, "This agreement is one of
our largest new contracts to date. We are delighted to be working with
Martifer and are excited to begin a long-term relationship with them.

presence in regions outside of the mainstream developed solar markets
in Europe. We plan to continue to geographically diversify our
business to these and other regions in the coming years."
Henrique Rodrigues, Martifer Solar CEO stated, "We are very happy
to be working with Solarfun for the installation of their PV modules
in various projects throughout Portugal, Italy, Greece, and other
countries in Southern Europe. Solarfun's strong reputation in the
market and their high quality products excite us to begin developing a
long-term relationship with their team."
