Dubai Canadian Solar, one of the world’s largest solar companies, yesterday announced an agreement with the Al Fahad Group, a diversified conglomerate with expertise in defence and intelligence, security, networking and communications and power.
Under the agreement, Canadian Solar will supply more than 1.5 megawatts of its solar modules to the Al Fahad Group, which is spearheading one of the largest solar PV projects in Abu Dhabi, considered one of the pioneers for renewable energies in the Middle East.
This will be a governmental venture, which was agreed upon during the recent World Future Energy Summit in Abu Dhabi.
Canadian Solar’s CS5A-M solar modules will be used for the project as they are ideally suited for the local environmental conditions, a company statement said.
Proven performance
“What convinced us to choose Canadian Solar was its proven performance and reliability, high quality and commitment to excellence. High performance under our challenging local climate parameters was at the forefront of our selection process,” said Khalid Obaid Al Othman Al Ali, CEO of the Al Fahad Group.
“Additionally, we focus on long-term relationships with trustworthy partners. To these belong companies with experience, an extended track record and a very good customer service. With Canadian Solar all these requirements are met.”
The Al Fahad Group offers comprehensive energy solutions for the United Arab Emirates and the GCC area for a broad variety of fields of implementation.
As a leading vertically integrated provider of ingot, wafer, solar cell, solar module and other solar applications, Canadian Solar designs, manufactures and delivers solar products and solar system solutions for on-grid and off-grid use by customers worldwide.
