| SMA to supply inverters to Samsung C&T Corporation Samsung C&T Corp. and SMA Solar Technology AG have partnered to build industrial-size solar inverters - electric devices that convert energy produced in solar panels into power that can be used by the electricity grid - at Celestica's facilities in Toronto. The agreement marks the third manufacturing deal announced under a $7 billion investment by Samsung in Ontario. Last year, Samsung and its partners teamed up with Siemens Canada, Pattern Energy and CS Wind to set up a new wind turbine blade plant in the Tillsonburg area and a wind tower plant in Windsor. A world leader in the industry, SMA Solar Technology AG is one of more than 30 solar and wind equipment companies that have announced plans to set up or expand operations in Ontario since the Green Energy Act was launched in 2009. To supply Samsung, SMA Solar Technology AG will launch its first Canadian-based production of industrial solar inverters. These will complement SMA's Ontario-made residential inverters used in smaller solar projects. write your comments about the article :: © 2011 Construction News :: home page |
