“After CSI Solar’s listing on the STAR Market, Canadian Solar will remain as the majority and controlling shareholder of CSI Solar and the sole owner of the Global Energy business, which develops solar and battery storage projects in more than 20 countries across the world,” Shawn Qu, Chairman and CEO of Canadian Solar, said.
