Wuxi will supply its 60 cell polycrystalline modules for the projects, which will deliver a combined capacity of approximately 400MW in 2014 and 500MW in 2015.
Wuxi CEO Eric Luo said the UK aims to produce around 30% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2020.
Luo said, "Record pollution levels are hitting London and the south of England today. We are teaming with Greenfield to help the UK end its dependence on polluting fossil energy sources and are eager to help turn the UK’s aggressive renewable energy targets into a near-term reality.
