Golden Solar posted first-half figures this week showing its cast mono PV wafer, cell, and module operation had lost CNY 18.1 million.

C Smarter Energy missed its deadline this week to publish its first-half results, citing the pandemic and the fact it has still not published its results for 2021. Trading in the company’s stock has been suspended in Hong Kong since April 2021.
