Morgan Solar Secures Utility Scale Order for Simbax Technology

Morgan Solar, Silfab Solar to produce 13 MW of PV modules with optical-film technology for Enbridge's Alberta Solar One project.

Morgan Solar Inc. announced the sale of 13.6 MWDC (10.5 MWAC) of bifacial solar panels enhanced with the company's performance boosting SimbaX technology to Enbridge Inc., a leading energy infrastructure company. The solar panels will be manufactured by Silfab Solar Inc. under an exclusive license agreement between the two companies.


SimbaX is Morgan Solar's proprietary optical film technology that boosts the performance of PV modules to generate higher yields and can be integrated into any standard silicon PV panel assembly. Working with Silfab, Morgan Solar has certified monofacial and bifacial versions of the technology.

"We are excited by this major demonstration of our SimbaX technology. Due to our T-innovation design approach, we were able to leverage Silfab's capacity and high-quality manufacturing to bring this innovative product to market at a greater pace and scale than is typical for our industry," said Mike Andrade, CEO of Morgan Solar.

"SimbaX is another example of Silfab's dedication to PV technology improvements and manufacturing innovative solutions that advance solar and continue to provide premium quality products," said Silfab's Paolo Maccario, President and CEO. "We are excited to be part of this new technology and partnership."

The panels are destined for Alberta Solar One, a project in Burdett, Alberta co-developed by Morgan Solar and Enbridge with $10 million in funding support from Emissions Reduction Alberta (ERA). The project will be owned and operated by Enbridge and is being constructed by Alltrade/SkyFire, a joint venture partnership and will reach COD in Spring 2021.

This is a success story of five Canadian companies coming together from across the country in partnership with ERA to create cost effective clean energy and much needed new jobs in Alberta in these challenging times.
