Canadian Solar’s new anti-hail technology is set to be installed at a new South Australian solar BESS energy project by Flow Power, enhancing the resilience of solar energy in Australia’s<\/span> harsh climate.<\/i><\/p>\n

KITCHENER, ON<\/span><\/span>, April 1, 2025<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Canadian Solar Inc.<\/a>\u00a0(the “Company” or “Canadian Solar”) (NASDAQ: CSIQ) today announced that its\u00a0subsidiary in Australia<\/span> and Flow Power, one of Australia’s<\/span> fastest growing energy retailers, have teamed up to deliver the\u00a0first Flow Power solar project featuring Canadian Solar’s anti-hail modules. This will also mark the first deployment of Canadian Solar’s innovative anti-hail technology in Australia<\/span>. Set to be delivered in 2025, the South Australian solar and battery energy storage system (BESS) in Coonawarra will be a significant milestone in Australia’s<\/span> renewable energy journey, offering increased protection for solar panels in extreme weather conditions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Developed through extensive testing, Canadian Solar’s anti-hail technology helps safeguard solar panels from severe weather, including hailstorms. This innovation is part of Canadian Solar’s commitment to providing durable, high-performance solutions for renewable energy projects in some of the world’s most challenging environments.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Based in the Coonawarra wine region, Flow Power’s first project to utilise\u00a0the technology will be a solar farm paired with a DC-coupled BESS. This 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We’re excited to be using Canadian Solar’s TOPCon anti-hail panels in our upcoming energy projects,” said Tom Harrison<\/span>, Flow Power’s General Manager Energy Projects. “At Flow Power, we are committed to innovation, and we always work to make each new project better than the last. That includes building smarter, more resilient energy solutions, and the Coonawarra Energy Project is a testament to that mission. 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.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We are proud to partner with Flow Power to bring our advanced anti-hail solar panels to Australian energy projects,” said Dr. Shawn Qu<\/span><\/b><\/a>, Chairman and CEO of Canadian Solar<\/b>. “This first project highlights our commitment to providing innovative solutions that enhance the durability and performance of solar energy systems in Australia<\/span>.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The first phase of the Coonawarra Energy Project will soon begin, with the solar modules set to be installed in the coming months.\u00a0<\/p>\n
