Canadian Solar to supply modules to Leeward Islands projects

Greentech Lead Canada: Canadian Solar has been selected to supply modules for a landmark solar project in the Leeward Islands.

Comet Solar, an Anguilla based solar installation company, selected Canadian Solar for the installation, which at 600KW is the largest commercial project permitted by the St. Kitts & Nevis Government to date.

S. L. Horsford, a diversified trading company involved in multiple trading, service and manufacturing activities through its various operating departments, subsidiary companies and associated companies contracted Comet Solar for the installation.

The installation will span eight different buildings and various businesses, including supermarkets, which have a high refrigeration load.  Construction has already started.

Chris Mason, Comet Solar’s owner, said, “This project is our largest to date, with the challenge of having a  remote location, a range of building types from steel buildings to concrete roofs and a mix of British and American electrical systems and voltages.”
