Thanks explo, other than their press release on using Mortenson Construction to complete the EPC on another project in NC (the PPA’s there must be pretty good) of 2.5MW, who CSI was doing business with in the US was a big mystery. It’s also good to know Strata Solar is providing all the financing for these.

What’s interesting is how fast Strata has grown. They did 9MW of projects in 2011, and plan on 150MW this year! I’m guessing that the partnership with CSIQ helped make that possible.

Now this is pure speculation, but I have to believe CSIQ would be the most likely partner on that 100MW solar farm that’s close to getting its PPA. It should be the biggest on the East Coast when finished. That would also be a nice little addition to the 2014 columns of my project spreadsheet...maybe we’ll hear something about this in the upcoming CC.

Another good day for solars...and many more to come!

According to this article , CSIQ will be supplying the modules for that 100 MW project...

Photovoltaics will be used to cover about 400 acres of land, and roughly 400 workers will be employed during the construction phase. Total cost is an estimated $250 million. Solar panels will be provided by Canadian Solar, an Ontario-based company. The Duplin County installation will sell electricity to Progress Energy Carolinas.

I read it early yesterday, but it seemed unclear for sure at the time. Thanks Nano and Explo!! Awesome!!! Thats a nice big farm. Nice addition to the spreadsheet!!! Love this great news!!! Thanks....keep it coming CSIQ!!!

Actually I am not that happy with this news, we all know that selling modules won't make money these days for CSIQ, and neither in 2013 (if you read into what CSIQ CEO said). I was hoping CSIQ could expand it's project business into US quickly, but looks like we have to wait longer for that.
