Canadian Solar to build first solar PV manufacturing facility in the US
June 16, 2023
Ontario-based Canadian Solar will build its first production facility in the US, a PV module manufacturing plant with the capacity to produce 5GW of solar modules a year.
Canadian Solar will invest US$250 million into the facility, which will be built in the town of Mesquite, to the east of Dallas, and will be the company’s first production facility in the US. In recent years, Canadian Solar has expanded its portfolio considerably, building another manufacturing facility in Brazil in 2016, and completing work on its first engineering, procurement and construction project in Vietnam in 2019.
