The agreement includes a 26MW order delivered in the fourth quarter of 2011 for the Catalina Solar Project in Kern County, California, which at full build-out will be the largest in the world to use the CIS thin-film technology, Solar Frontier says.

The company, a unit of Showa Shell Sekiyu KK, intends to deliver an additional 34MW for the first phase of the project, to be completed by the end of the year.
