(Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- Canadian Solar, Inc, a manufacturer of photovoltaic cells and panels, has supplied more than 8MW of solar modules to groSolar for three utility and commercial photovoltaic, or PV, projects in the US.

According to Canadian Solar, the largest installation is a 6MW plant currently under construction in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Canadian Solar will supply around 7.5 million kilowatt hours (kWh) of solar energy per year under a 15-year power purchase agreement (PPA). The installation was designed to support both farmland preservation and agricultural soil restoration in Lancaster.

Two of the PV projects have recently been completed. groSolar selected Canadian Solar's monocrystalline PV modules for the 1.8MW solar project, located at the Camden County Municipal Utility Authority's (CCMUA) wastewater treatment plant in Camden, New Jersey.

Canadian Solar supplied modules for the construction of the 1.5MW PV system at Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. The combined production of both plants is expected to produce approximately 4.95 million kWh of clean solar energy and offset approximately 3,712 tons of carbon emissions per year, the equivalent of planting 18,562 trees. All three groSolar projects were built using Canadian Solar's workhorse module, the CS6P.

"Canadian Solar is committed to supporting its valued partners and customers," said Shawn Qu, CEO of Canadian Solar. "We are pleased to be selected as module provider of choice by groSolar's experienced team as we continue to expand in the US market."
