Canadian Solar to supply 10 MW PV Modules to Uganda Largest Solar Project

Canadian Solar announced that it has supplied 10 MW of PV Modules to Soroti Photovoltaic Plant in Uganda.

The Soroti plant consists of 32,000 pieces of Canadian Solar high-efficiency poly panels. This is the first solar plant connected to the country’s grid and is also the first in the east of Africa. The project is the largest of its kind in East Africa and was officially inaugurated at the end of 2016. The 10 MW solar system generates clean, low-carbon electricity for 40,000 homes, schools and businesses in the area.

Canadian Solar Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Dr. Shawn Qu said that they are happy to be part of the energy transition on the African continent. Africa is one of the best places on earth for solar energy. At the same time, they hope the solar energy development there will also stimulate the economy and create jobs locally.
