Canadian Solar has announced that e-Storage, part of its subsidiary CSI Solar Co, has secured battery supply agreements and long-term service agreements (LTSA) for two major battery energy storage projects in the USA developed by Aypa Power.
The agreements cover the supply and commissioning of a 160 MW AC/806 MWh DC battery energy storage system in California and a 200 MW AC/998 MWh DC BESS in Texas. The projects will deploy approximately 370 SolBank 3.0 units, with construction expected to commence in Q3 2025. Following commissioning, e-Storage will oversee system maintenance and operations under a 20-year LTSA, promoting long-term performance and reliability.
e-Storage will integrate its proprietary SolBank 3.0 battery energy storage solution, featuring lithium iron phosphate battery technology, an active balancing battery management system, and liquid cooling.
Colin Parkin, president of e-Storage, commented, “Our SolBank technology is designed to provide safe, high-performance energy storage solutions that meet the growing demands of the market. These projects highlight the increasing role of battery storage in stabilising renewable energy supply”.
