Canadian Solar today said it is powering four projects – using 60 cell solar modules called CS6P-250|255|260P – with a total capacity of 40.2 MWp in the United Kingdom, Hoplass Solar Park, Christchurch Solar Park, Coombe Solar Park, and Moat Farm Solar Plant.
Hoplass Solar Park, located in the city of Pembroke, has a size of 10.3 MWp, Christchurch Solar Park, located inChristchurch, has 18 MWp, Coombe Solar Park in Devon has 7.3 MWp and Moat Solar Plant in Retford has 4.6 MWp capacity. All the power plants, started operation before March 30, are eligible for 1.4 Renewable Obligation Certificate.
Canadian Solar said an additional two solar projects are expected to be connected in the second quarter of 2015.
Cumulatively, these six solar projects will produce approximately 50,183 megawatt-hours (MWh) of electricity per year, which will displace approximately 38,140 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year, equivalent to removing over 7.276 cars from roads in the United Kingdom.
In the past 14 years, Canadian Solar has deployed over 9 GW of premium quality modules in over 70 countries around the world.
