Canadian Solar Inc. (NASDAQ:CSIQ) recently announced the completion of the first significant delivery of bifacial solar PV modules in the United States. The company delivered 10 MW of Canadian Solar bifacial PV modules — BiKu CS3U-PB-AG — to Neighborhood Power for four solar power projects near Portland, OR.
Why Canadian Solar Wins the Deal?
Bifacial solar modules are able to generate energy from both sides, which signifies higher power generation with lower cost. This model’s daily energy yield is 5-20% higher than conventional polymer backsheet modules and provides five years additional warranty compared with the industry standard.
BiKu model, a unique integration of bifacial and dual cell, is expected to provide additional energy to compensate the new tariffs on solar modules and steel mounting equipment for Neighborhood Power. This deal will make the company’s solar projects more economical.
