The US company has agreed the sale of its wafer plant in Kuching, Malaysia, to LONGi Silicon Materials Corporation of China.

As part of the deal, SunEdison said it has secured a module supply agreement for up to 3GW from a LONGi subsidiary.

SunEdison said it will also close its polysilicon plant in Pasadena, Texas, partly blaming Chinese trade tariffs on US-produced polysilicon.
