Canadian Solar Inc has signed a multi- year module supply agreement with EDF Renewables North America to deliver 1,800MW of high-efficiency poly solar modules for projects in the US, Canada, and Mexico. Canadian Solar will supply its bifacial enhanced wafer BiHiKu (CS3W- PB) and enhanced wafer HiKu (CS3W-P) modules to EDF. The agreement is the largest single module supply agreement signed in Canadian Solar’s 18-year history. “EDF Renewables North America is pleased to announce this substantial module supply agreement with Canadian Solar Inc. The agreement demonstrates our confidence in the bifacial module technology to support our robust pipeline of contracted projects over the next five years,” said Tristan Grimbert, president and CEO of EDF Renewables North America. Dr Shawn Qu, chairman and CEO of Canadian Solar, said: ”As the US market recovers from the uncertainties brought by section 201 tariffs and rushes to meet the step-down of the investment tax credit deadline, we are seeing a significant rebound of demand in the US solar market which impacts module supply across the entire region.”
