Under the contract, Canadian Solar will provide its high efficiency 60 cell CS6P255P and CS6P260P modules with power output of 255Wp and 260Wp respectively for the project.
Canadian Solar chairman and chief executive officer Dr. Shawn Qu said that the 12.6MW module supply agreement is Canadian Solar’s largest deal ever in Turkey and marks it a new milestone in this important emerging market.
"It is the second deal we made with the aforementioned customers to whom we supplied 2.2MW of solar modules at the end of last year," Qu added.
"By signing this agreement, we are expanding our presence and solidifying our competitive position in Turkey, which underscores our global leading position as a tier 1 solar module supplier with a track record of providing quality and reliable solar modules to solar power projects across the globe."
Since last two years, the group has been working with KOIZ to help reduce the zone’s 86 million kWh/month electricity consumption.
