Canadian Solar Supplies Modules For PV Project In Bulgaria


Canadian Solar Inc., has announced its further strategic expansion into South-East Europe by supplying 3.3 MW of solar modules for a PV project in Bulgaria. The solar power plant was built in Plovdiv, Bulgaria's second largest city, on the grounds of the leading Bulgarian food and beverage company Philicon 97 SA and was connected to the grid in February.

The solar project benefits from a feed-in tariff of 0.25 euros per kWh and supports Philicon 97 SA with its strategy of investing in the future of the company through the expansion of renewable energy. Canadian Solar supplied its CS6P-P modules for the PV system.

"We have compared the offers from various module manufacturers and at the end opted for Canadian Solar and EPC company Solarpro. The excellent customer service and high product quality were critical for our success," said Ivan Kalibatsev, project manager at Philicon 97 SA and responsible for the installation of the solar park. "We are very pleased with the result and our expectations have been exceeded. Already in the first month, the power output of the solar system was 15 percent higher than expected."

Strategic growth market for South-East Europe

"The project in Plovdiv is an important milestone for our growth strategy in South-East Europe. Our leading position in the market and our high quality and cost advantages allow us to cooperate with the best partners in the respective target market and to offer them tailor-made solutions for their region," explained Dr. Shawn Qu, Chairman and CEO of Canadian Solar. "South-East Europe and in particular Bulgaria offer great potential for development, as high radiation levels and the feed-in tariff that are guaranteed for a period of 20 years offer attractive returns for investors."
