2 A WORLD-CLASS POWER SOLUTIONS COMPANY Dr. Shawn Qu Chairman, President & CEO (Director) Yan Zhuang SVP, Chief Commercial Officer Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Dr. Shawn Qu founded Canadian Solar in 2001 with a bold vision: to foster sustainable development and to make lives better by bringing electricity powered by the sun to millions of people worldwide. The more than 9,700 dedicated employees of Canadian Solar (NASDAQ: CSIQ) strive each day to make this vision a reality. The company s two main lines of business are: (i) PV components; and (ii) the development, construction and sale of solar PV projects, working with both build-to-sell and build to-hold business models. Over 21 GW of our solar modules have been shipped, enough to provide clean, green power to a city the size of Chicago. Our products are in operation in more than 100 countries, giving us a truly global reach. These achievements put us at the forefront of making solar power competitive and mainstream. Thomas Körner Vice President, Global Sales Customers choose Canadian Solar because we deliver the best possible value. Our ingots, wafers, cells, and modules combine superior quality with market-leading cost structures. And our solar projects consistently achieve the highest production values and returns on investment. We currently have more than 9.8 GW of such projects in our pipeline worldwide and are uniquely positioned to provide complete turnkey solar solutions. By bundling services for the entire project life cycle feasibility study, permitting, engineering, procurement, construction, operations, and maintenance we can significantly reduce complexity and cost for commercial and industrial customers.
