Canadian Solar (USA) Inc., a subsidiary of Canadian Solar Inc. (“the Company,” “Canadian Solar” or “we”) (Nasdaq: CSIQ) today announced the launch of its NewEdge solar panels, which are compatible with the new Zep roof-mounting System, as well as several other existing mounting systems. The NewEdge panels will provide one of the solar industry’s fastest and most cost effective ways to install photovoltaic (PV) solar systems on residential roofs. The NewEdge modules with Zep Solar’s breakthrough rail-free, auto-grounding system could slash residential installation costs in half and reduce the amount of time installers spend on a roof by 75 percent. The NewEdge modules come in two types, NewEdge CS5A-180/185/190/195/200MX, which uses 5″ monocrystalline silicon, and NewEdge CS6P-220/230/240/250PX, which uses 6″ polycrystalline silicon. PV systems with NewEdge panels yield significant financial, labor and performance improvements when compared to traditional roof-mounted solar systems.
