London-based Lightsource will use the modules in projects across the UK, which has emerged over the past year as one of the most vibrant solar markets in Europe.

ReneSola says the sales office it opened in the UK earlier this year has allowed it to feed up to 15MW a week into the British market.

“The quality of our glass allows our modules to reach relatively high electricity production levels, particularly with regard to diffused light, which is characteristicof the cloudy and overcast conditions often seen in the UK,” says ReneSola chief executive Xianshou Li.
