Canadian Solar to provide modules for solar PV project in Japan

Canadian Solar has received a module supply contract to provide 43MW of photovoltaic (PV) modules in support of the second largest solar power plant project in Japan.

Under the contract, Canadian Solar will supply approximately 168,300 pieces of its 60 cell high efficiency CS6P255P modules with power output of 255Wp for this project.

The company is expected to deliver the modules starting from May 2014 and to be completed in February 2015.

Canadian Solar chairman, president and CEO Dr Shawn Qu said that the company will provide high efficiency modules to the second largest solar power plant in Japan, marking another significant milestone for Canadian Solar in this important market.

"This win further demonstrates our strong position as a global tier 1 solar module supplier with proven track record of delivery high efficiency and quality modules to large solar power projects across the globe," Qu added.

The modules quality is validated by one of the highest PTC ratings out of over 12000 P-type crystalline modules published on the Go Solar California website.

Canadian Solar modules offer higher energy yield of up to 5% when compared with products from other Tier 1 module suppliers, according to PVSYST’s system performance simulation.
