Under the terms of the agreement, Canadian Solar will supply more than 1.5MW of its solar modules to the Al Fahad Group.

Canadian Solar’s CS5A-M solar modules will be used for the project, as they are ideally suited for the local environmental conditions.

AL Fahad Group CEO Khaled Obaid Al Othman Al Ali said Canadian Solar was chosen because of 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," added Al Ali.

Al Fahad Group offers comprehensive energy solutions for the United Arab Emirates and the Gulf Cooperation Council area for a broad variety of fields of implementation.
