Canadian Solar, a China-based solar firm, has announced that it has supplied solar modules for an 8.5MW power plant in Lindenhof near Neubrandenburg in the German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Germany-based Saferay expects to complete the project next month.

With this cooperation to build the Lindenhof solar power plant Canadian Solar further extends its collaboration with project company Saferay. The PV system uses a total of 36,000 CS6P-P solar modules manufactured by Canadian Solar.

Marko Schulz, managing director of Saferay, said, "Thanks to favorable weather conditions, we are on track to complete the solar park installation so the power plant will be turnkey ready in December. So far, we have completed 5.5MW."

The solar park is the second large-scale project delivered by Canadian Solar and project development company Saferay. In September 2011, Saferay completed the Senftenberg II/III 78MW partial complex in Brandenburg.
