Canadian Solar has a 362MW late-stage development pipeline in Japan, according to an investor presentation in August.
Japan is one of just eight markets the company is targeting for near-term project development. Speaking after a 52.5MW project completion in the country in July, Dr. Shawn Qu, chairman and CEO of Canadian Solar said: “This is a milestone as we continue to make progress in developing and delivering our high-value solar project pipeline in this important market.”
