The company can provide enhanced solutions to optimize support for the Canadian customer base of distributors and installers, said Chen.

By 2024, Mexico plans to generate 35 percent of its energy from renewable sources.

In 2012, electric production of the country from wind, solar and geothermal accounted to just 4 percent.

By 2018, the Mexican government is expecting vast increases in solar and wind power capacity, with the solar market’s installed base estimated to quadruple from 60 to 240 megawatts.

Ontario is the central photovoltaic market of Canada, due to the province’s feed in tariff (FIT).

According to previous FIT programs solar projects had to be powered by domestic content equipment made in Ontario and the third phase of the program (FIT3) has eliminated this requirement.

Lately, ReneSola Canada joined the Canadian Solar Industry Association (CANSIA).
