Gross margin for the quarter was 17.9%, up from 16.5% in April to June last year. "The year-over-year boost was primarily attributable to a rise in self-produced production volume by [an] enhancing change towards integrated, mono-based, high-efficiency-products capability, and also the ongoing reduction of incorporated manufacturing expenses resulting from the firm's industry-leading incorporated cost structure," said Jinko.
