NANJING, China -
ET Solar Group Corp., a Nanjing-based solar farm EPC provider and integrated manufacturer of photovoltaic products including ingots, wafers, modules, and tracking systems announced a RMB100 million credit facility with China CITIC Bank.
The facility has a 1-year tenor and is renewable at maturity upon satisfactory review by the bank. Structured in a trade financing tranche and a general corporate funding tranche, the local currency denominated facility of RMB100 million, approximately US$15 million or Euro10 million.

The new facility is adding to our financial strength and enhancing our ability to expand our business comfortably amid the worst financial crisis in decades.”
Fischer Chen, CFO of ET Solar, added, “As one of the more sophisticated national lenders, China CITIC Bank went through a comprehensive credit review process before substantially increasing its exposure to ET Solar. This demonstrates our healthy financial wellbeing, strong track record, unique market niche and credible transaction pipeline.”
