Intersolar 2010 alert: Canadian Solar selected top 10 finalist

MUNICH, GERMANY: Canadian Solar Inc., one of the world's largest solar companies, has been selected as a Top 10 finalist for the Intersolar Award for outstanding industry innovations for Canadian Solar's innovative NewEdge series.

Canadian Solar will showcase its full product portfolio, along with a preview of its newest offerings from June 9 to 11 at the Intersolar 2010. For the first time, the new CS6X power module and the ClearPower module will be presented at Booth 310 in Hall B6.

Canadian Solar will take advantage of the solar industry's largest convention to inform visitors about the Company's newest advancements, including the CS6X series, the Company's most powerful module produced to date. With up to 300 Watts of power output, the robust series is the perfect choice for deployments, from household rooftops to full-scale solar farms. Canadian Solar offers five versions of the all-purpose module with industry-leading plus output tolerance of +5W.

ClearPower, a new BIPV module
For the first time, the Company is also presenting its ClearPower modules, the most cost effective alternative to glass-on-glass BIPV products. The robust solar solution's translucency allows it to be integrated with buildings and is perfect for greenhouses, facades, roof windows, and whole-glass rooftops.

Future buyers can choose between a monocrystalline and a polycrystalline version, and moreover, they can choose their transparency level from a range between 10 to 40 percent. This allows customers to pick the shade level they need. The new modules can handle a mechanical load up to 5,400 Pa, almost twice as strong as traditional BIPV modules.

Canadian Solar's NewEdge series is a nominee for the Intersolar Award 2010 in the "photovoltaic" category. "The fact that the NewEdge module was selected as a top finalist is an indicator of the potential the industry has identified in this product by Canadian Solar", said Dr. Shawn Qu, Chairman and CEO of Canadian Solar.
