Solar cell manufacturer Canadian Solar Incorporated has commenced delivery of solar modules to German company City Solar for a series of large-scale, ground-mounted solar farm projects in Spain and Germany. The deliveries are part of an annual project sales contract that Canadian Solar Incorporated (CSI) signed with City Solar in January 2007, to supply approximately 31MW of solar modules to seven specific projects in the two European countries. The contract is worth between E80 and E90 million.
CSI expects to deliver 4.2MW solar modules by July 2007 for the first project in Germany. Deliveries for the other projects are expected to start in June and July 2007. About half of the projects are expected to be completed before December 31, 2007. Steffen Kammler, CEO of City Solar, said: “City Solar’s vast experience in multi-MW scale solar project development, planning and implementation, brings turn-key solutions to commercial renewable energy investors.”
“We have developed unique mounting and panel matching technologies. Combining our expertise with the outstanding quality of CSI modules will help us to provide the best-performing and the most cost-effective solar systems to the market place,” Mr Kammler continued.
