Canadian Solar Sells Suffield Solar Project to BluEarth Renewables
- Canadian Solar Inc., a manufacturer of solar photovoltaic modules and also supplier of solar power options, has finished the sale of the Suffield Solar Project to BluEarth Renewables, an independent power manufacturer that acquires, establishes, constructs, owns and runs wind, hydro as well as solar facilities across North America.
The project, currently unfinished in southeast Alberta, will have an ability of 23 MW AC/ 32 MWp and also will be among the biggest solar photovoltaic or pv (PV) centers in the province. Direct Energy, an energy and energy-related provider, will certainly acquire the electricity from the Suffield facility once it is operational later this year.
The Suffield facility was awarded funding via Natural Resources Canada's Emerging Renewable Power Program for introducing advancements in renewable resource technology. Especially, the Suffield project will make use of Canadian Solar's high-efficiency bifacial modules and also single-axis trackers. Bifacial modules produce electricity from both sides of the photovoltaic panel making the most of complete energy generation as well as enhancing dependability during winter season. Single-axis trackers enable the solar arrays to adhere to the sunlight's trajectory throughout the day, also raising electrical energy manufacturing.
" We've had an exceptional, long-lasting relationship with Canadian Solar having actually transacted with them on our really first solar project in 2014," says Grant Arnold, head of state as well as CEO of BluEarth. "With this procurement, BluEarth is excited to increase its impact in southern Alberta. The Suffield project, combined with another solar project presently unfinished, brings BluEarth's total solar capability to 187 MW AC. We also believe a lot more opportunities are on the horizon given the favorable market conditions for renewable resource financial investment in Alberta."
