GUELPH, ON, Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Canadian Solar Inc.
("Canadian Solar" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: CSIQ) announced today
it commenced the construction of the 10 MWp Groß Siemz solar
power plant in Germany.
The project is located on an 11-hectare area next to the highway
A20 Groß Siemz, near the city Schönberg in Mecklenburg-Western
Pomerania, Northern Germany.
Canadian Solar is the turnkey solutions provider for the PV plant,
responsible for most of the project execution including the design,
engineering, procurement and construction, and will be powering the
solar plant with over 22,900 pieces of Canadian Solar
high-efficiency mono-PERC modules. GS Solar GmbH & Co. KG, the
customer and project owner, will connect the plant to the grid in
October 2020 and Canadian Solar will
provide the operations & maintenance ("O&M") services.
Once operational, the PV plant will generate approximately 10
GWh of clean and reliable solar energy annually, enough to meet the
needs of over 3,000 households. Through the project lifetime, it is
expected to displace approximately 90,000 metric tons of
CO2-equivalent emissions.
