Canadian Solar's completely owned subsidiary Recurrent Energy has commenced commercial operation of the 100 MWac/134 MWp Mustang solarpower project in Kings County, California.
The project's generation will be sold under long-term power purchase agreements to Sonoma Clean Power and MCE. This will provide electricity to around 45,000 homes.
Canadian Solar's chairman and CEO Dr. Shawn Qu said: "The commercial operation of the Mustang solar project continues a historic year, which will see Recurrent Energy complete more than 1 GW of US solar photovoltaic (PV) projects."
Last year, Recurrent Energy secured a tax equity investment commitment for the solar project from US Bancorp Community Development Corporation (USBCDC).
