“By integrating anti-hail technology into our solar farms, we are not only enhancing the durability of our assets, but also ensuring greater reliability for our customers, even in extreme weather conditions.”

Canadian Solar Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Dr Shawn Qu said the first project to use the anti-hail modules highlights the company’s commitment to providing innovative solutions that enhance the durability and performance of solar energy systems in Australia.”

The Coonawarra Energy Project will be the first of many sites where Canadian Solar and Flow Power collaborate to install the company’s anti-hail technology across the country.
