Yan Zhuang, Chief Commercial Officer of Canadian Solar, commented, “Our partners’ technical expertise and sound awareness of quality are a good complement to Canadian Solar’s top tier brand and global footprint. Together we can offer best-in-class solutions to end-customers. The Canadian Solar Partner Program puts more knowledge and tools at our partners’ hands allowing them to focus on their core business.
