Canadian Solar's Subsidiary CSI Solar Plans Capacity Additions Across Its Solar and Battery Storage Supply Chain
The project plan will be carried out in three phases, with phase I being 14 GW of wafer and cell capacity. Phase I is expected to commence production in the second half of 2023, while the implementation of phase II and III is subject to change, at the Company's discretion, based on market conditions and the Company's assessments. With this announcement and considering the solar supply chain's demand and supply backdrop, the Company updates its 2023 year-end capacities to 20 GW of ingot, 35 GW of wafer, and 50 GW of cell and modules. The Company will provide further guidance on 2023 capital expenditures in the next earnings call.
