CANADA and an increasing focus on ‘ going greener ’, it seems that the future of Canadian Solar is looking bright .
“ We ’ re very optimistic about the opportunities for solar , the continued adoption of renewables and the growth of these types of technologies ,” reflects Marx . “ For example , more than 60 % of the total generating capacity that was added in the US last year was solar power . That ’ s a really striking trend and we expect that growth of solar energy to continue .
“ I think Canadian Solar has a competitive edge because we ’ re different to some of our competitors ,” he concludes . “ We feel really proud of our new Ku module technologies as well as the next generation of technologies that we have coming down the pipeline . But more than that , I think we ’ ll continue to be successful because we ’ re much more than ‘ just a solar company ’; we ’ re a comprehensive solution .”
