Canadian Solar Inc.

Canadian Solar Inc., founded in 2001 and headquartered in Kitchener, Ontario, is a solar technology and renewable energy company. Its businesses cover photovoltaic module manufacturing, battery energy storage solutions, and the development, ownership and operation of utility-scale solar and storage projects. The company has been listed on NASDAQ under the ticker CSIQ since 2006. The group operates across several parts of the renewable energy value chain. Its manufacturing business supplies solar modules, while e-STORAGE provides battery energy storage systems for commercial, industrial and utility-scale applications. Recurrent Energy develops and operates solar and storage projects. Canadian Solar’s residential storage brand Eternalplanet develops the EP Cube home energy storage system. In terms of scale, Canadian Solar had delivered nearly 180 GW of solar modules worldwide as of June 2026. Its e-STORAGE business had shipped more than 23 GWh of battery energy storage solutions and held a US$3.5 billion contracted backlog as of June 30, 2026. Since entering project development in 2010, the company had developed, built and connected approximately 12.4 GWp of solar projects and 6.4 GWh of storage projects globally. These are separate measures of equipment shipments and project development, rather than a single combined deployment figure. Product development spans solar cell and module technology as well as integrated storage systems. In 2026, Canadian Solar introduced its TOPCon 3.0 module for utility-scale and commercial applications, while e-STORAGE continued to develop its SolBank utility-scale and KuBank commercial and industrial storage products. Its project development pipeline stood at approximately 22 GWp of solar and 84 GWh of storage as of June 30, 2026; these pipeline figures represent projects at various stages of development, not operating capacity
