Canadian Solar Inc
We are one of the world's largest solar power and battery storage companies and a leading vertically-integrated provider of solar power and battery storage products, services and system solutions with operations in North America, South America, Europe, South Africa, the Middle East, Australia and Asia. Our business operations are divided into two business segments, namely CSI Solar and Global Energy.
Under CSI Solar, we design, develop and manufacture solar ingots, wafers, cells, modules and other solar power and battery storage products. Our solar power products include standard solar modules and specialty solar products. We conduct most of our manufacturing operations in China and Southeast Asia. Our products include a range of solar modules built to general specifications for use in a wide range of residential, commercial and industrial solar power generation systems. Specialty solar products consist of customized solar modules that our customers incorporate into their own products and complete specialty products, such as portable solar home systems. We sell our products primarily under our 'Canadian Solar' brand name. We also deliver bankable, end-to-end, turnkey battery storage system solutions across various applications. These storage system solutions are complemented with long-term service agreements which include future battery capacity augmentation services. In 2021, we started designing and developing proprietary DC battery storage systems, including battery modules and packs. We expect to launch and manufacture these products from 2022 onwards.
We employ a flexible vertically integrated business model that combines internal manufacturing capacity with direct material purchases of both cells and wafers. We believe this approach has benefited us by allowing us to grow in a capital-light manner, while giving us significant flexibility to respond to short-term demand changes.
Our business consists of the following two business segments: CSI Solar segment and Global Energy segment. Our CSI Solar Segment involves the design, development, manufacturing and sale of a wide range of solar power and battery storage products, including solar modules, solar system kits, battery storage solutions, and other materials, components and services (including EPC). Our Global Energy Segment primarily consists of global solar and battery storage projects, O&M and asset management services, global electricity revenue, as well as other development services.
Our standard solar modules are arrays of interconnected solar cells in weatherproof encapsulation. We produce a wide variety of standard solar modules, ranging from 3W to over 665W in power and using mono-crystalline or multi-crystalline cells in several different design patterns, including shingled cells. We introduced the industry's first module product using 166 mm wafers, in comparison with the conventional 156.75 mm wafers. We also first introduced the highest power 665W module using 210 mm wafers in mass production. Our mainstream solar modules include CS7N (132 half-cells, 210 mm wafer), CS7L (120 half-cells, 210 mm wafer), CS6W (144 half-cells, 182 mm wafer), CS6R (108 half-cells, 182 mm wafer), CS3Y (156 half-cells, 166 mm wafer), CS3W (144 half-cells, 166 mm wafer), CS3N (132 half-cells, 166 mm wafer), CS3L (120 half-cells, 166 mm wafer), BiHiKu7 (bifacial module, 210 mm wafer), BiHiKu6 (bifacial module, 182 mm wafer), BiHiKu5 (bifacial module, 166 mm wafer), BiHiKu (bifacial module, 166 mm wafer), and HiDM CS1Y all-black modules. The mainstream modules are designed for residential, commercial and utility applications. The small modules are for specialty applications.
