Canadian Solar, headquartered in Guelph, Ontario, announced that it is establishing a solar PV module production facility in Mesquite, Texas.
Canadian Solar is building a solar photovoltaic module manufacturing plant with an annual output of 5 GW, equivalent to approximately 20,000 modules per day. The new facility represents an investment of over $250 million and will create approximately 1,500 skilled jobs.
This will be Canadian Solar’s first United States manufacturing facility. Canadian Solar has production units in Canada, China, Brazil, Thailand and Vietnam. In 2021, Canadian Solar relocated Recurrent Energy, its U.S. subsidiary, to Austin, spearheading the rapid growth of renewable energy in the Lone Star State as a solar and battery storage project developer.
