Canadian Solar is partnering with Signal Energy for an EPC and module supply contract for ESCO Pacific's 175MW Finley Solar Farm in New South Wales, Australia.

The solar plant will be built on approximately 404 hectares of grazing, crop and irrigated lands near Finley. Over 490,000 of Canadian Solar's 1500V high efficiency KuMax modules (CS3U-P) will be installed on single-axis solar tracking systems.  When completed, it will produce enough electricity to meet the needs of more than 90,000 NSW homes.
