The order follows a 13MW shipment Nanjing-basedET made to Strata last autumn in North Carolina, which has rapidly become oneof the most important US solar markets on the back of its booming utility-scalesegment.

North Carolina was the second largest statewidePV market in the US last year, according to Chapel Hill-based Strata Solar, despitethe state's near-total lack of a residential market.

Strata Solar claims to have installed 300MW ofPV capacity over the past three years, and expects to install the same amount again this year across 40 projects in North Carolina.
