Canadian Solar has signed a multi-year module supply agreement with Lightsource BP totalling 1200MW.
The high efficiency polycrystalline bifacial BiHiKu (CS3W-PB-AG) and HiKu (CS3W-P) modules are for projects in the US and Australia.
Bifacial modules generate power from both the front and the rear sides of the module, which increases the power output compared to conventional monofacial models, Canadian Solar said.
Lightsource BP chief operating officer Kareen Boutonnat said: “We are pleased to be working with Canadian Solar to deliver our global pipeline.
“They are a bankable and industry proven partner for our projects.
“Our centralised procurement team selected these modules for their high efficiency performance and we look forward to seeing the satisfactory results in the field very soon.”
Canadian Solar chairman and chief executive Shawn Qu said: “We are excited about the strong partnership with Lightsource BP that has contributed to the 1.2GW of module sales commitments.
“As a solar technology leader, we are working continuously on innovation.
“I am proud to see that our high-power modules, based on the latest bifacial technology, have been selected for these projects in Australia and the US.”
