Cargo for solar energy projects continues on upward trend at Wilson Sons Logistics Center

The solar energy segment continues with an upward trend at Wilson Sons Logistics Center, located in Santo André (SP). The company signed a contract with Canadian Solar, a Sino-Canadian company and a global leader in the production of photovoltaic modules. By the end of this year, equipment must be moved to generate 38.6 megawatts of energy.

The cargo is intended for Canadian projects and for resale to the distributed generation sector, mainly in the northeastern and southeastern regions. The company is in the process of expanding in the country and estimates that the consumption of solar energy in Brazil has strong growth potential in the coming years.

“Some circumstances have prepared this path for solar energy to gain more and more space in the country. For example, we have the challenge assumed by Brazil to achieve climate neutrality quicker. In addition, consumers are highly interested in cheaper alternatives due to the current energy crisis”, highlights Pedro Alves, Canadian Solar’s general director for Latin America.

Cargo handling in the solar energy segment at Centro Logístico Santo André recorded an increase of 191% between January and September this year, compared to the same period in 2020. In the nine months of 2021, the Wilson Sons business unit received approximately 12 thousand tons of solar equipment.
