September 28, 2010: Markham, ON – Through the first Canadian partnership to manufacture and develop renewable energy power plants, ESEI Solar and Solar Source Corporation are set to transform the global energy industry.

With a pipeline of residential and commercial power plants, this partnership is expected to build 100 MW of capacity over 5 years. Following quickly on Solar Source Corporation’s (SSC) announcement to build a 120 MW capacity panel manufacturing plant in Windsor, Ontario, the company recognized the need to find a strong and innovative partner to expand beyond its current capabilities.  SSC needed an organization that could manage all of the aspects of small to large solar PV projects; from design, installation to monitoring and maintenance.

“The ESEI team has their eye on the future, and their feet planted firmly in today, managing the industry as a whole, not just at the panel level.  ESEI thought beyond programs and government incentives which is what makes them a global industry player.  We want to partner with that type of thinking – so we chose ESEI Group,” says Ross Beatty, President of Solar Source Corporation.

ESEI Solar, a line of business of ESEI Group, has a full offering of Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) services and a team of experts that support projects across several industry verticals. Recognized by the Ministry of International Trade Development, ESEI Solar is also stretching across the globe with partnerships in Germany, Spain, and India.

The partnership between ESEI Solar and Solar Source Corporation will support the Green Energy Act’s goal of creating green-collar jobs. Solar Source’s manufacturing plant will employ in excess of 200 people, while ESEI Solar’s new Windsor office will add even more jobs to the region.
