Canadian Solar said it plans to expand production capacity with a 300MW annual capacity module factory in Brazil and a 400MW cell and module plant in Southeast Asia.
The move into Brazil will put the PV group among a pioneering group of manufacturers to base production in a market that is tipped for big growth over the next five years, and where Canadian Solar won contracts to develop 185MW of capacity earlier this year,
The company said the extra plants will help expand its wafer, cell and module capacities to 1GW, 3.4GW
