In April 2023, Canadian Solar Inc. has rebranded its wholly owned global energy subsidiary as Recurrent Energy. The company’s global energy segment carries out global activities for solar and battery storage project development, which includes sourcing land, interconnection agreements, structuring power purchase agreements and other permits and requirements. Now dubbed Recurrent Energy, this segment develops both stand-alone solar and stand-alone battery storage projects, as well as hybrid solar-plus-storage projects. Canadian Solar reports that Recurrent Energy has built nearly 9 GW of solar and 3 GWh of battery storage across six continents, and that it has a total pipeline of 25 GW in solar and 47 GWh in battery storage, of which 14 GW and 12 GWh respectively had interconnections as of January 31, 2023. In addition, Recurrent Energy’s services business had 6 GW of projects under operations and maintenance contracts, either operational or contracted projects.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-04-10 |title=Canadian Solar rebrands global development business as Recurrent Energy |url=https://pv-magazine-usa.com/2023/04/10/canadian-solar-rebrands-global-development-business-as-recurrent-energy/ |access-date=2023-07-17 |website=pv magazine USA |language=en-US}}</ref>


Including two manufacturing facilities in Ontario, Canadian Solar employs nearly 9,000 workers worldwide. This translates to more than 16 GW of panel shipments, or approximately 70 million PV modules, in the past 15 years.<ref name="auto"/>
In July 2023, Canadian Solar and its majority-owned subsidiary CSI Solar announced the rebranding of its utility-scale battery energy storage subsidiary and platform to e-STORAGE, which was previously operated as CSI Energy Storage. The platform is built upon CSI Solar's proprietary designed and manufactured lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) chemistry-based battery solution SolBank, which is engineered to be one of the safest and most robust systems for utility-scale storage applications. As of July 2023, e-STORAGE launches with nearly 26 GWh of energy storage projects in its total pipeline and over $1.7 billion of contracted revenues, up from $1 billion in January, providing significant growth visibility over an upcoming multi-year period. Currently, e-STORAGE operates two fully automated and industry-leading manufacturing facilities and expects to reach an annual capacity of 10 GWh. With the rebranding, e-STORAGE is well-positioned and will fuel its growth in the global energy storage market, providing high-quality, scalable energy storage solutions for power grid carbonization and renewables deployment.<ref>{{Cite web |last=MAG |first=SOLAR |date=2023-07-11 |title=Canadian Solar announces the rebranding of its utility-scale storage division |url=https://solarmagazine.com/2023/07/canadian-solar-announces-rebranding-its-utility-scale-storage-division/ |access-date=2023-07-17 |website=Solar Magazine |language=en-US}}</ref>

Canadian Solar Inc. is a publicly traded company that manufactures solar PV modules and runs large scale solar projects.

History

Founded in 2001 in Guelph, Ontario, Canada by Shawn Qu, Canadian Solar (NASDAQ: CSIQ) has subsidiaries in over 24 countries on 6 continents.[4] They manufacture solar PV modules, are involved in supporting the installation of solar energy, and are involved in a number utility-scale power projects. With the company's acquisition of Recurrent Energy, Canadian Solar's total project pipeline reached 20.4 GW, including an increase in the late-stage project pipeline to 2.4 GW.

In November 2006, the company went public (Nasdaq: CSIQ) at $15 per share.[5]

Including two manufacturing facilities in Ontario, Canadian Solar employs nearly 9,000 workers worldwide. This translates to more than 16 GW of panel shipments, or approximately 70 million PV modules, in the past 15 years.[4]

The Human Rights Foundation criticized the firm after a 2021 report by The Globe and Mail revealed the company operates a solar farm in Xinjiang, China nearby a Uyghur internment camp.[6] The Guelph Mercury Tribune later revealed a second solar farm in Xinjiang.[7] In response to a question about the firm at a news conference, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said, "We will continue to work very, very closely and follow up with [Canadian Solar Inc., Dynasty Gold Corp. and GobiMin Inc.], and all companies that have investments in that area, to ensure they are following Canadian values and Canadian law."[8] The Globe further uncovered that in 2019 Canadian Solar signed a major agreement with the polysilicon manufacturer GCL-Poly, a company whose Xinjiang subsidiary has ties to forced labour.[9] The Mercury Tribune reported Canadian Solar sold both of its Xinjiang solar farms in late 2021 to a consortium of various Chinese banks and investment groups.[10]

Manufacturing

Canadian Solar production facilities in Canada, China, Indonesia, Vietnam and Brazil make ingots, wafers, solar cells, solar PV modules, solar power systems, and other solar products.

The bulk of Canadian Solar's manufacturing facilities are located in Canada and China.[11] The Ontario plant has a production capacity of over 500 MW per year.[12]

Products

Canadian Solar offers solar modules, solar power systems, off-grid solar home systems and other solar products.

Canadian Solar's global PV project business unit has been in operation for over six years and develops PV projects worldwide, specializing in project development, system design, engineering and financing. In addition, Canadian Solar can handle the deployment of photovoltaic projects systems, ranging a few hundred kilowatts to mega-watts.

Canadian Solar's standard modules are powered by 156 x 156 mm (6 inch) mono-crystalline or poly-crystalline solar cells.
