Canadian Solar Inc. has opened a sales and business development office in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The company says its goal is to develop utility-scale projects in the region, as well as create a residential and commercial customer base in the growing new market.
‘South America has long been a promising market for solar, and having a strong presence in Brazil is a strategic move for Canadian Solar,’ says Canadian Solar Chairman and CEO Shawn Qu. ‘We are also proud to bring on board a new general manager for South America, Claudio Loureiro, who was instrumental in launching Canadian Solar operations in this new market.’
