Solarfun Power Holdings Co., Ltd. ("Solarfun" or "the Company") (Nasdaq: SOLF), a vertically integrated manufacturer of silicon ingots and photovoltaic cells and modules in China, today announced a capacity expansion due to anticipated demand. Solarfun will increase its PV module production capacity from 550MW to 700MW by April 2010 and its PV cell production capacity from 360MW to 480MW by July 2010.

Peter Xie, President of Solarfun, commented, "We have an optimistic view on industry demand in 2010 and believe that it is critical to scale up our manufacturing capacity to meet customer demand.
