Canadian Solar Inc., a manufacturer of silicon, ingots, wafers, cells, solar modules, and custom-designed solar power applications, has won a 1.6MW tender to supply solar panels for 80,000 solar energy system users in Sichuan province in west China.<\/p>\n
The project is said to have been initiated and financed by China's Ministry of Agriculture and the Sichuan Provincial Government. With a maximum power of 20 Watts, the solar home system can supply sufficient electrical power for two lights and a small TV. The 80,000 solar panels are expected to be delivered in April 2009.<\/p>\n
Dr. Shawn Qu, president and chief executive officer of CSI, said that they are pleased to win the bid. Qu believes that the home solar energy system will make a difference to the lives of rural households since it will be the first time that these rural families ever had electrical power. Dr. Qu also said that CSI has a business department devoted to the design, manufacture, and installation of home village solar systems; and that since 2004 the company has been actively involved in rural electrification projects in China.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
