Canadian Solar announced it has dedicated its U.S. regional headquarters by unveiling its company logo sign on the exterior of the office building at 3000 Oak Road, Walnut Creek, CA 94597.
With this move, Canadian Solar aims to put its mark on the U.S. solar market, which is being challenged by the recent trade policy changes. The U.S. remains one of the most important solar markets in the world, according to Dr. Shawn Qu, chairman and chief executive officer of Canadian Solar.
“We believe in the U.S. solar market and have played a key role in the remarkable development of renewable energy there. Although recent trade policy changes have increased uncertainty in the market, we plan to weather the storm by consolidating and strengthening our operations, as cooperation is a better solution for the industry to develop,” said Qu.
The US regional headquarters office brings together three different Canadian Solar businesses into one location: the Module and System Solutions business, the Energy business, and the company’s US solar project development subsidiary, Recurrent Energy.
Conveniently located one block from the Pleasant Hill BART station, the new Walnut Creekoffice provides easy access to San Francisco and the rest of the Bay Area on public transit, lowering the carbon footprint of employees and visitors travelling to the office.
