Canadian Solar Inc has opened a new warehouse facility in Port Elizabeth, New Jersey to provide additional photovoltaic module storage capacity for the growing business.
The first shipment of modules is expected to arrive in mid-September 2011. The warehouse itself utilizes solar energy from its PV rooftop mounted system.
"The opening of our second storage facility underscores the success we are seeing in the important US market,” said Dr. Shawn Qu, chairman and chief executive officer of Canadian Solar. “Our new warehouse facility on the East Coast will immediately benefit customers by increasing product availability, shortening product transit times and cutting shipping costs to deliver more competitive pricing."
As one of the world's largest solar companies, Canadian Solar is a leading vertically integrated provider of ingots, wafers, solar cells, solar modules and other solar applications, with operations in North America, Europe and Asia.
