Chinese-Canadian solar company Canadian Solar has completed four solar parks in the United Kingdom totaling 40.2 MWp.
The four plants have a power capacity of between 4.6 MW and 18 MW and were all developed under the country’s Renewable Obligation (RO) scheme. All four parks - Hoplass Solar Park, Christchurch Solar Park, Coombe Solar Park, and Moat Farm Solar Plant use Canadian Solar's 60 cell solar modules. All the solar power plants started commercial before March 30 and are eligible for 1.4 ROC. An additional two solar projects will be connected the grid in the second quarter of 2015. Cumulatively, these six solar projects will generate approximately 50,183 megawatt-hours of electricity per year, being able to avoid approximately 38,140 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year.
