    We design, develop, manufacture and sell solar cell and module
    products that convert sunlight into electricity for a variety of
    uses. We are incorporated in Canada and conduct all of our
    manufacturing operations in China. Our products include a range
    of standard solar modules built to general specifications for
    use in a wide range of residential, commercial and industrial
    solar power generation systems. In addition, we recently
    commenced commercial production of
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">e-Modules,</FONT> a
    cost-effective medium power solar module product using 100%
    upgraded metallurgical grade silicon, or UMgSi. We also design
    and produce specialty solar modules and products manufactured
    based on our customers&#146; requirements. Specialty solar
    modules and products consist of customized modules that our
    customers incorporate into their own products, such as
    solar-powered bus stop lighting, and complete specialty
    products, such as solar-powered car battery chargers. We sell
    our products under our &#147;CSI&#148; brand name and to OEM
    customers under their own brand names. We also implement solar
    power development projects, primarily in conjunction with
    government organizations to provide solar power generation in
    rural areas of China.

    We currently sell our products to customers located in various
    markets worldwide, including Germany, Spain, Italy, the United
    States, South Korea, the Czech Republic, China and Canada. We
    sell our standard solar modules to distributors, system
    integrators and through OEM channels. We sell our
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">e-Modules</FONT> to
    distributors and system integrators. We sell our specialty solar
    modules and products directly to various manufacturers who
    integrate our specialty solar modules and products into their
    own products and sell and market them as part of their own
    product portfolio.

    We have historically manufactured our module products from solar
    cells purchased from third-party manufacturers. In 2007, we
    began to pursue a new business model that combines internal
    manufacturing capacity supplemented by direct material purchases
    and outsourced toll manufacturing relationships which we believe
    provides us with several competitive benefits. We believe that
    this approach allows us to benefit from the increased margin
    available to vertically integrated solar manufacturers while
    reducing the capital expenditures required relative to a fully
    vertically integrated business model and produce better returns
    on our invested capital. We also believe that this approach
    provides us with greater flexibility to respond to short-term
    demand patterns and longer-term to take advantage of the
    availability of low-cost outsourced manufacturing capacity.
    Additionally, it has enabled us to improve production yields,
    control our inventory more efficiently and improve cash
    management, which we believe has resulted in increased
    confidence in our forecasts for future revenue growth.

    We believe that we have contractually secured 95% of our silicon
    and solar cell requirements to support solar module production
    of 230 to 260MW in 2008. For silicon material supplies, we have
    entered into a five-year supply agreement with Luoyang Zhong Gui
    High Tech Co. Ltd., or Luoyang Poly, for high purity silicon
    from 2006 to 2010. For silicon wafers, we have entered into a
    fixed price and volume agreement with LDK Solar Co., Ltd., or
    LDK, from 2008 to 2010 for specified quantities of solar wafers,
    including 50MW for delivery in 2008. We also have standby toll
    manufacturing arrangements with LDK and other ingot and wafer
    manufacturers to convert our virgin polysilicon and reclaimed
    silicon feedstock into wafers. In January 2007, we entered into
    a supply agreement with Deutsche Solar AG, or Deutsche Solar,
    for a supply of multi-crystalline silicon wafers through 2018.
    In November 2007, we entered into various agreements with China
    Sunergy Co., Ltd., or China Sunergy, for a supply of 25MW of
    solar cells for delivery in 2008, and an agreement with Gintech
    Energy Corporation, or Gintech, for a supply of 17MW of solar
    cells for delivery in 2008, with an option, subject to
    availability, for an extra 5MW. We have other silicon wafer and
    solar cell supply agreements in place, including a multi-year
    solar wafer supply

    Solar power has recently emerged as one of the most rapidly
    growing renewable energy sources. Solar cells are fabricated
    from silicon wafers and convert sunlight into electricity
    through a process known as the photovoltaic effect. Solar
    modules, which are an array of interconnected solar cells
    encased in a weatherproof frame, are mounted in areas with
    direct exposure to the sun to generate electricity from
    sunlight. Solar power systems, which are comprised of solar
    modules, related power electronics and other components, are
    used in residential, commercial and industrial applications and
    for customers who have no access to an electric utility grid.

    incentive programs that stimulated demand for our products in
    our main target markets of Germany, Spain and Italy,
    establishment of customer relationships with several large solar

    We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents,
    anticipated cash flow from operations, approved lines of credit
    available to us from commercial banks and other financing
    activities, including potential capital market financings, will
    be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs, including our
    cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for the
    rest of 2008 under our current market guidance. We may, however,
    require additional cash due to changing business conditions or
    other future developments, including any investments or
    acquisitions we may decide to pursue. The availability of
    commercial loans from Chinese commercial banks may also be
    affected by administrative policies of the PRC government, which
    in turn may affect our plans for business expansion. If our
    existing cash or access to additional capital via bank
    borrowings are insufficient to meet our requirements, we may
    seek to sell additional equity securities or debt securities or
    borrow from other sources. We cannot assure you that financing
    will be available in the amounts we need or on terms acceptable
    to us, if at all. The sale of additional equity securities or
    debt securities, including convertible debt securities, would
    dilute our shareholders. The incurrence of debt would divert
    cash for working capital and capital expenditures to service
    debt obligations and could result in operating and financial

    On July&#160;14, 2008, we announced our preliminary unaudited
    results for our second quarter 2008. We expect our net revenues
    for the second quarter 2008 to range between $210&#160;million
    and $214&#160;million, compared to the prior forecast of
    $185&#160;million to $190&#160;million. The preliminary net
    revenue includes approximately $6&#160;million of silicon and
    other sales. Our gross profit is expected to range between
    $33&#160;million and $35&#160;million. During the quarter, the
    company shipped approximately 47MW of solar module products,
    including about 2.2MW of UMgSi e-Modules and a small amount of
    tolling business. As a result of the induced conversion of
    $74&#160;million of our 6.0% convertible senior notes due 2017,
    which closed on June&#160;27, 2008, we recognized a one-time,
    non-cash charge of approximately $10&#160;million equal to the
    fair value of the common shares and other consideration
    transferred in the transaction in excess of the fair value of
    common shares issuable pursuant to the original conversion
    terms. However, we expect to offset this one-time, non-cash
    charge by the interest cost savings we will realize through
    early conversion of the notes. These preliminary results are
    subject to change following completion of our normal quarter-end
    review process.

    We produce solar modules, which are an array of interconnected
    solar cells encased in a weatherproof package, and products that
    use solar modules. High-purity silicon is an essential raw
    material in the production of solar cells and is also used in
    the semiconductor industry generally. While we do have in-house
    solar cell manufacturing capabilities, we continue to depend on
    solar wafer and cell supplies from a few producers. There is
    currently an industry-wide shortage of high-purity silicon
    because of increased demand as a result of recent expansions of,
    and increased demand in, the solar power and semiconductor
    industries. The shortage of high-purity silicon has driven the
    overall increase in silicon feedstock prices. For example,
    according to the March 2007 and 2008 reports by Solarbuzz, a
    leading professional magazine for the solar industry, the
    average long-term silicon feedstock contracted price increased
    from approximately US$28-32 per kilogram in 2004 to US$65-75 per
    kilogram in 2008. Prices of silicon feedstock obtained through
    spot purchases or short-term contracts went as high as US$400
    per kilogram in 2007, peaking in the second half of 2007 but
    were at US$250 per kilogram for three-month supply contracts.
    The shortage of high-purity silicon has also resulted in a
    shortage of, and significant price increases for, solar cells.
    Multicrystalline silicon cell prices in Euros decreased from the
    first quarter of 2007 to the first quarter of 2008 by an average
    of 9%, while monocrystalline silicon PV cell prices in Euros
    decreased by a similar proportion. The blended average (mono and
    multi) cell prices in Euros decreased from the first quarter of
    2007 to the first quarter of 2008 by 8.5%.

    The average price of silicon feedstock and solar cells remained
    high in 2007. Any further increase in the demand from the
    semiconductor industry will compound the shortage and price
    increases. The shortage of high-purity silicon has constrained
    our revenue growth in the past and may continue to do so.
    Increases in the prices of silicon feedstock and solar cells
    have in the past increased our production costs and may impact
    our cost of revenues and net income in the future. The
    production of high-purity silicon is capital intensive and
    adding additional capacity requires significant lead time. While
    we are aware that several new facilities for the manufacture of
    high-purity silicon are under construction, we do not believe
    that the supply shortage will be alleviated in the very near
    term. We expect that demand for high-purity silicon will
    continue to outstrip supply for the foreseeable future.
    Furthermore, if we cannot fulfill our solar cell needs through
    internal production and obtain solar wafers and solar cells
    externally at commercially viable prices, this would likely have
    a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

    While we have been able to secure silicon to meet our production
    needs in the past, due to ongoing industry shortages of silicon
    feedstock, solar wafers and solar cells, we cannot assure you
    that we will be able to continue to successfully manage our
    supply chain and secure an adequate and cost-effective supply of
    solar cells. For example, we have entered into several long-term
    contracts with silicon raw material suppliers, but we cannot
    assure you that we will be able to obtain adequate supplies from
    them under these contracts or from other suppliers in sufficient
    quantities and at commercially viable prices in the future.
    These long-term supply contracts can also be terminated by our
    suppliers under certain circumstances, including failure to make
    timely payments or prepayments. Moreover, toll manufacturing
    arrangements may not be available to us in the future or at
    higher volumes, in particular to the extent high-purity silicon
    becomes more readily available in the future, which could have a
    material adverse effect on our margins and profitability. While
    we produce solar cells internally to meet a portion of our solar
    cell needs, we cannot guarantee you that we will be able to
    successfully produce enough solar cells to satisfy (together
    with externally produced solar cells) our solar cell needs. If
    we are unable to procure an adequate supply of solar cells,
    either via contractual arrangements providing solar cells to us
    at commercially viable prices or through in-house production, we
    may be unable to meet the demand for our products and could lose
    our customers and market share, and our margins and revenues
    could decline.

    In addition, while we have been able to generate cost savings in
    the past through our recycling of reclaimable silicon, we cannot
    assure you that we will be able to secure sufficient reclaimable
    silicon at higher volumes and reasonable prices in the future as
    we believe there is a limited supply of reclaimable silicon
    available in the market and intensified competition for these
    materials as a result of new competitors entering the market.
    Recently, there has been increased scrutiny by the Chinese
    Customs authorities on the import of scrap silicon over a
    concern that the recycling process for certain types of scrap
    silicon may cause environmental damage if not performed in a
    fully licensed factory. This has created certain disruptions to
    our silicon reclamation business. Since December 2006,
    1.2&#160;tons of our scrap silicon has been under detention by
    the Chinese Customs authorities. In August 2007, following
    testing by Chinese Customs authorities, one-fourth of this
    amount was identified by them as prohibited solid waste. In
    April 2008, the Chinese Customs authorities ordered us to return
    the detained 1.2 tons of scrap silicon to its point of origin.
    On June&#160;23, 2008, Suzhou Customs authority issued a
    Non-punishment Decision Notice, in which the Customs authority
    announced no administrative fine will be imposed on the company
    regarding the above-mentioned prohibited solid waste import. We
    are actively working with local industry groups, the Chinese
    Customs authorities and the Chinese Environment Protection
    Administration to define new procedures and regulations
    governing scrap silicon. These new regulations may increase the
    cost of reclamation and limit our ability to sustain or expand
    our silicon reclamation program. If we are unable to secure a
    sufficient supply of reclaimable silicon at reasonable prices
    and reclaim this silicon on a cost-efficient basis, we cannot
    assure you that we will be able to save cost through our
    reclamation program and maintain our profit margin as a result
    of further negative changes in the government policy.

    We believe the average price of polysilicon and silicon wafers
    will remain high and could increase further in the near term.
    The increasing price of polysilicon and silicon wafers has
    largely contributed to the increase in our production costs for
    PV cells and modules in the past three years and may continue to
    have the same effect in the future, notwithstanding our
    continuing efforts to use polysilicon and silicon wafers more
    efficiently. In addition, we may not be able to pass on to our
    customers our increased production costs resulting from, among
    other things, the increased costs of polysilicon and silicon
    wafers. Despite the rise in the price of polysilicon and silicon
    wafers, PV module manufacturers worldwide are expanding their
    production capacities in response to the growing popularity
    worldwide of PV products. We believe that such capacity
    expansion, particularly in markets where government subsidies
    for solar energy consumption are declining, will cause a gradual
    decline in the price of PV modules as well

    We compete with a large number of competitors in the solar

    Holdings Co., Ltd., Yingli Green Energy Holding Company Limited,
    Solarfun Power Holdings Co., Ltd. and Trina Solar Limited. We

    many of our competitors are developing and are currently
    producing products based on new solar power technologies that
    may ultimately have costs similar to, or lower than, our

    which they believe will ultimately cost the same as or less than
    crystalline silicon technologies, which we use. Solar modules
    produced using thin film materials, such as amorphous silicon,
    cadmium telluride and copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS)
    technology, require significantly less silicon to produce than
    crystalline silicon solar modules, such as our products, and are
    less susceptible to increases in silicon costs. We may also face
    competition from semiconductor manufacturers, several of which
    have either announced plans to start or have already commenced
    production of solar modules. In addition, from a technological
    and capital investment point of view, the entry barriers are
    relatively low in the solar module manufacturing business given
    the low capital requirements and relatively little technological
    complexity involved. Due to the scarcity of high-purity silicon,

    In the immediate future, we believe that in order to remain
    competitive, we will need to continue focusing on securing
    silicon feedstock and solar wafers for our in-house solar cell
    manufacturing needs and expanding our internal production
    capacity, developing our in-house solar wafer manufacturing
    capacity, maintaining strategic relationships with select
    suppliers to fulfill our remaining solar cell and solar wafer
    needs and increasing our sales and marketing efforts to secure
    customer orders. Many of our competitors have greater access to
    silicon raw materials and cell supply, including stronger
    strategic relationships with leading global and domestic silicon
    feedstock suppliers, or have more significant silicon wafer and
    cell manufacturing capabilities. We believe that to the extent
    the supply of high-purity silicon stabilizes and customers
    become more knowledgeable and selective, the key to competing
    successfully in the industry will shift to more traditional
    sales and marketing activities. We have conducted very limited
    advertising to date, focusing primarily on medium to larger
    sized solar power distributors and integrators in the European
    market in the past, and cannot assure you that we will be able
    to make that transition successfully. The greater name
    recognition of some of our competitors may make it difficult for
    us to compete following this industry transition. In addition,
    the solar power market in general competes with other sources of
    renewable energy and conventional power generation. If prices
    for conventional and other renewable energy resources decline,
    or if these resources enjoy greater policy support than solar
    power, the solar power market could suffer.

    Presently, the cost of solar power substantially exceeds the
    cost of power provided by the electric utility grid in many
    locations. Governments around the world have used different
    policy initiatives to accelerate the development and adoption of
    solar power and other renewable energy sources. Renewable energy
    policies are in place in the European Union, most notably
    Germany and Spain, certain countries in Asia, and many of the
    states in Australia and the United States. Examples of
    customer-focused financial incentives include capital cost
    rebates, feed-in tariffs, tax credits and net metering and other

    The market for electricity generation products is heavily
    influenced by government regulations and policies concerning the
    electric utility industry, as well as policies promulgated by
    electric utilities. These regulations and policies often relate
    to electricity pricing and technical interconnection of
    customer-owned electricity generation. In a number of countries,
    these regulations and policies have been modified and may
    continue to be modified. Customer purchases of, or further
    investment in the research and development of, alternative
    energy sources, including solar power technology, could be
    deterred by these regulations and policies, which could result
    in a significant reduction in the potential demand for our
    products. For example, without a regulatory mandated exception
    for solar power systems, utility customers are often charged
    interconnection or standby fees for putting distributed power
    generation on the electric utility grid. These fees could
    increase the cost to our customers of using our solar module
    products and make them less desirable, thereby harming our
    business, prospects, results of operations and financial
    condition. In addition, pricing regulations and policies may
    place limits on our ability to increase the price of our solar
    module products in response to increases in our solar raw
    material costs, including solar cells.

    We anticipate that our products and their installation will be
    subject to oversight and regulation in accordance with national
    and local regulations relating to building codes, safety,
    environmental protection, utility interconnection and metering
    and related matters. It is difficult to track the requirements
    of individual jurisdictions and design products to comply with
    the varying standards. For example, the European Union&#146;s
    Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive, which took effect
    in July 2006, is a general directive. Each European Union member
    state will adopt its own enforcement and implementation policies
    using the directive as a guide. Therefore, there could be many
    different versions of this law that we will have to comply with
    to maintain or expand our sales in Europe. Any new government
    regulations or utility policies pertaining to our solar module
    products may result in significant additional expenses to us
    and, as a result, could cause a significant reduction in demand
    for our solar module products. In particular, any changes to
    existing regulations and policies or new regulations and
    policies in Germany could have a material adverse effect on our
    business and operating results. Sales to customers located in
    Germany accounted for 75.3% and 56.9% of our net revenues in
    2005 and 2006, respectively, and 68.3% for 2007, in part because
    of the availability and amounts of government subsidies and
    economic incentives in Germany.

    Our solar module products are used in both on-grid applications

    on preferential terms for rural electrification programs. We

    programs for on-grid and off-grid applications are eliminated or

    The PRC government has implemented various measures to encourage

    As our operations are based in China, we are exposed to risks
    associated with the regulatory regime of the PRC including
    recent changes in monetary policy by the People&#146;s Bank of
    China that raised the deposit reserve ratio, thereby reducing
    the supply of money available for Chinese banks to lend. Since

    In addition, some of our ingot, wafer and cell suppliers with
    whom we have toll manufacturing arrangements previously raised
    concerns about the quality and consistency of the silicon
    feedstock, in particular the reclaimable silicon that we recycle
    through our silicon reclamation program for re-use in the solar
    power industry, that we have provided to them for their ultimate
    conversion into solar cells. Currently, reclaimable silicon
    comprises a small portion of our silicon supplies. For this
    portion, the use of reclaimed silicon in the solar power supply
    chain has an inherent risk as it is difficult to maintain the
    consistency and quality of reclaimed silicon at the same level
    as high-purity silicon. The successful use of reclaimed silicon
    requires extensive experience, know-how and additional quality
    control measures from both the provider of reclaimed silicon and
    the toll manufacturers. If we cannot successfully maintain the
    consistency and quality of the reclaimed silicon from our
    silicon reclamation program at an acceptable level, this may
    result in less efficient solar cells for our solar modules or in
    a lower conversion ratio of solar cells per ton of silicon
    feedstock that we provide, and may potentially delay and reduce
    our supply of solar cells. This may reduce or eliminate the cost
    advantages of recycling silicon through our silicon reclamation
    program. This could also cause problems with product quality or
    product performance, including defects in our products, and
    increase the cost of producing our products.

    We obtain some of the solar wafers and solar cells that we use
    in our products from third parties, either directly or through
    toll manufacturing arrangements, and we have limited control
    over the quality of that portion of the solar wafers and solar
    cells we incorporate into our solar modules. Unlike solar
    modules, which are subject to certain uniform international
    standards, solar wafers and solar cells generally do not have
    uniform international standards, and it is often difficult to
    determine whether solar module product defects are a result of
    the solar cells or other components or reasons. As a result, we
    may incur replacement costs that we are unable to recoup from
    third-party suppliers even if the defects already existed at the
    time we received the solar products. We also rely on third party
    suppliers for other components that we use in our products, such
    as glass, frame and backing for our solar modules, and
    electronic components for our specialty solar modules and

    warranty against declines of more than 10.0% and 20.0%,
    respectively, of the initial minimum power generation capacity
    at the time of delivery. Our specialty solar modules and
    products are typically sold with a one-year guarantee against
    defects in materials and workmanship and may, depending on the
    characteristics of the product, contain a limited warranty of up
    to ten years, against declines of the minimum power generation
    capacity specified at the time of delivery. We believe our
    warranty periods are consistent with industry practice. Due to
    the long warranty period, we bear the risk of extensive warranty
    claims long after we have shipped our products and recognized
    revenue. We began selling specialty solar modules and products
    in 2002 and only began selling standard solar modules in 2004.
    Any increase in the defect rate of our products would cause us
    to increase the amount of warranty reserves and have a
    corresponding negative impact on our operating results. Although
    we conduct quality testing and inspection of our solar module
    products, our solar module products have not been and cannot be
    tested in an environment simulating the up to

    warranty periods. Similarly, our recently developed UMgSi solar
    products, while silicon based and theoretically durable and

    relatively new to the market, and subject to the same testing
    limitations as our other solar products.

    However, despite our research and development efforts, UMgSi
    solar products are relatively new to the market and issues
    related to these products that are currently unknown may surface
    in the future after extended use. These issues could potentially
    affect our market reputation and adversely affect our revenues,

    result, we may be subject to unexpected warranty expense and
    associated harm to our financial results as long as

    The solar power industry has only recently emerged as a high

    solar cells of sufficient quality to meet our solar module
    manufacturing standards. Minor deviations in the manufacturing
    process can cause substantial decreases in yield and in some
    cases cause production to be suspended or yield no output. We
    will need to make capital expenditures to purchase manufacturing
    equipment for solar cell production and will also need to make
    significant investments in research and development to keep pace
    with technological advances in solar power technology. The
    technologies, designs and customer preferences for solar cells
    change more rapidly, and solar cell product life cycles are
    shorter, than those for solar modules. We may not be able to
    successfully address these new challenges. We will also face
    increased costs to comply with environmental laws and
    regulations. Any failure to successfully develop and maintain
    cost-effective solar cell manufacturing capability may have a
    material adverse effect on our business, results of operations
    and prospects.

    In addition, although we intend to continue direct purchasing of
    solar cells and our toll manufacturing arrangements through a
    limited number of strategic partners, if we engage in the large
    scale production of solar cells it may disrupt our existing
    relationships with solar cell suppliers. One of our suppliers
    has raised concerns with us over our decision to implement
    internal solar cell product capabilities. If solar cell
    suppliers discontinue or reduce the supply of solar cells to us,
    either through direct sales or through toll manufacturing
    arrangements, and we are not able to compensate for the loss or
    reduction with our own manufacturing of solar cells, our
    business and results of operations may be materially and
    adversely affected.

    Our success depends on our ability to use and develop our

    third parties. We do not have, and have not applied for, any
    patents for our proprietary technologies outside China, although
    we have sold, and expect to continue to sell, a substantial
    portion of our products outside China. The validity and scope of
    claims relating to solar power technology patents involve
    complex scientific, legal and factual questions and analysis
    and, therefore, may be highly uncertain. We may be subject to
    litigation involving claims of patent infringement or violation
    of intellectual property rights of third parties. In addition,
    we have not yet registered our trade name, &#147;CSI,&#148;

    Additionally, we use imported equipment in our production lines,
    without supplier guarantees that our use does not infringe on
    third party intellectual property rights in China. This creates
    a potential source of litigation or infringement claims arising

    In addition, our competitors and other third parties may
    initiate legal proceedings against us or our employees that may

    unlawful conduct and unfair competition in directing a business
    opportunity away from ICP&#160;Global to us. Although there have
    been no meaningful discovery, court filings or communications
    from the plaintiff on this matter since early 2004, we cannot
    assure you that ICP Global will not move forward with this case

    We adopted a share incentive plan in 2006. As of
    December&#160;31, 2007, we had granted 1,814,443 share options
    and 566,190 restricted shares under our share incentive plan. In
    December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or
    FASB, issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or
    SFAS, No.&#160;123R, &#147;Share-Based Payment.&#148; This

    prescribes how we account for share-based compensation, and may
    have an adverse or negative impact on our results of operations
    or the price of our common shares. SFAS&#160;No.&#160;123R
    requires us to recognize share-based compensation as
    compensation expense in the statement of operations based on the
    fair value of equity awards on the date of the grant, with the
    compensation expense recognized over the period in which the
    recipient is required to provide service in exchange for the
    equity award. This statement also requires us to adopt a fair
    value-based method for measuring the compensation expense
    related to share-based compensation. The additional expenses
    associated with share-based compensation may reduce the
    attractiveness of issuing share options or restricted shares
    under our share incentive plan. However, if we do not grant

    The change in value of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar,
    Euro and other currencies is affected by, among other things,
    changes in China&#146;s political and economic conditions. On
    July&#160;21, 2005, the PRC government changed its decade-old
    policy of pegging the value of the Renminbi to the U.S. dollar.
    Under the new policy, the Renminbi is permitted to fluctuate
    within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain
    foreign currencies. This change in policy has resulted in an
    approximately 11.9% appreciation of the RMB against the U.S.
    dollar between July&#160;21, 2005 and December&#160;31, 2007.
    While the international reaction to the Renminbi revaluation has
    generally been positive, there remains significant international
    pressure on the PRC government to adopt an even more flexible
    currency policy, which could result in a further and more
    significant appreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S.
    dollar. As a portion of our costs and expenses is denominated in
    Renminbi, the revaluation in July 2005 and potential future
    revaluation has and could further increase our costs in U.S.
    dollar terms. In addition, as we rely entirely on dividends paid
    to us by our operating subsidiaries in China, any significant
    revaluation of the Renminbi may have a material adverse effect
    on our revenues and financial condition, and the value of, and
    any dividends payable on, our common shares. For example, to the
    extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars into Renminbi for
    our operations, appreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S.
    dollar would have an adverse effect on the Renminbi amount we
    receive from the conversion. Conversely, if we decide to convert
    our Renminbi into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making
    payments for dividends on our common shares or for other
    business purposes, appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the
    Renminbi would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount
    available to us.

    Changshu. CSI&#160;Solartronics&#146; first profitable year was
    2002 and thus its initial EIT preferential period ended in 2006.
    However, CSI&#160;Solartronics was granted a three year
    extension for the 50% reduction in its EIT rate by the Changshu
    tax authority. Thus, CSI&#160;Solartronics was subject to an EIT
    rate of 12%. CSI Solar Manufacturing was initially entitled to a
    preferential tax rate of 18%, consisting of 15% of state income
    tax and 3% of local income tax. Following its first profitable
    year of operations in 2005, CSI Solar Manufacturing was exempt
    from EIT until 2006. Since then, it has been subject to an EIT
    rate of 7.5%. CSI Luoyang and CSI Cells became profitable in
    2007. As such, both CSI Luoyang and CSI&#160;Cells were exempted
    from EIT until 2008 and will enjoy a 50% reduction in their
    applicable EIT rates from 2009 to 2011. CSI Solar Technologies
    and CSI Advanced are not currently profitable and have therefore
    not applied for preferential tax treatment.

    On January&#160;1, 2008, the PRC&#146;s new Enterprise Income
    Tax Law, or the new EIT law, became effective. Under the new EIT
    law, both FIEs and domestic enterprises are now subject to an
    uniform EIT rate of 25%. Furthermore, dividends paid by an FIE
    to a non-resident shareholder on post-2007 earnings are now
    subject to a withholding tax of 10%, which may be reduced under
    any applicable bi-lateral tax treaty between China and the
    jurisdiction where the non-resident shareholder resides.

    In addition, for FIEs established prior to March&#160;16, 2007
    (the promulgation date of the new EIT law) that have not
    attained profitability by January&#160;1, 2008 and, have
    therefore not begun to realize the preferential tax treatment
    available to them under the former income tax regime, the new
    EIT law provides that the preferential five-year tax holiday
    period will expire within five years. Since the tax holiday of
    our subsidiaries CSI Solar Technologies and CSI Advanced
    commenced January&#160;1, 2008, under the new EIT Law, this
    preferential five-year tax holiday period will expire
    December&#160;31, 2012.

    As the preferential tax benefits currently enjoyed by our PRC
    subsidiaries expire, their effective tax rates will increase
    significantly. This could have a material adverse effect on our
    financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, our
    subsidiaries CSI Solar Technologies and CSI Advanced, were not
    profitable prior to January&#160;1, 2008. As a result, should
    these subsidiaries not attain profitability prior to
    January&#160;1, 2013, they will lose their right to enjoy the
    preferential tax treatment available under the former Income Tax
    Law. In addition, dividends paid to us by our PRC subsidiaries
    from pre-2008 earnings are exempt from Chinese dividend
    withholding tax even if such dividends are paid after
    January&#160;1, 2008. Dividends paid on post-2007 earnings of
    are, however, subject to Chinese withholding tax (as described
    above).

    Under the new EIT law, an enterprise registered under the laws
    of a jurisdiction outside China may be deemed a Chinese tax
    resident and be subject to EIT upon its worldwide income, if its
    place of effective management is in China. The PRC State Council
    recently promulgated detailed implementation rules for the new
    EIT law. Because the new EIT law and related implementation
    rules are newly executed, there is uncertainty as to how they
    will be interpreted and implemented. Although we are carefully
    monitoring these legal developments and will timely adjust our
    effective income tax rate when necessary, we cannot assure you
    that the new EIT law will not cause material increases in the
    EIT rates applicable to us or our PRC subsidiaries, which could
    have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and
    results of operations.

    If we are deemed to be a resident of PRC (in addition to being a
    resident of Canada) under the new EIT law, we could be exposed
    to an element of double taxation unless and until the issue of
    our jurisdiction of residence is resolved by the revenue
    authorities for each country through the competent authority
    provisions of the Canada-China Tax Treaty. If it is ultimately
    determined that we are a resident of PRC and not Canada for
    these purposes, the Canadian income tax implications for

    Furthermore, there is a trend by the Chinese government to

    We are a corporation organized under the laws of Canada and
    substantially all of our assets are located outside of the
    United States. Substantially all of our current operations are
    conducted in the PRC. In addition, most of our directors and
    officers are nationals and residents of countries other than the
    United States. A substantial portion of the assets of these
    persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it
    may be difficult for you to effect service of process within the
    United States upon these persons. It may also be difficult for
    you to enforce in U.S. courts, judgments obtained in U.S. courts
    based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal
    securities laws against us and our officers and directors, most
    of whom are not residents in the United States and the
    substantial majority of whose assets are located outside of the
    United States. In addition, we have been advised by our Canadian
    counsel that a monetary judgment of a U.S. court predicated
    solely upon the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal
    securities laws would likely be enforceable in Canada if the
    U.S. court in which the judgment was obtained had a basis for
    jurisdiction in the matter that was recognized by a Canadian
    court for such purposes. We cannot assure you that this will be
    the case. It is unlikely that an action could be brought in
    Canada in the first instance for civil liability under U.S.
    federal securities laws. There is uncertainty as to whether the
    courts of the PRC would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S.
    courts against us or such persons predicated upon the civil
    liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States
    or any state. In addition, it is uncertain whether such PRC
    courts would be competent to hear original actions brought in
    the PRC against us or such persons predicated upon the
    securities laws of the United States or any state.

    Based on the market price of our common shares and the
    composition of our income and assets and our operations, we do
    not expect to be a &#147;passive foreign investment
    company,&#148; or PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes for
    our current taxable year ending December&#160;31, 2008. However,
    we must make a separate determination each year as to whether we
    are a PFIC (after the close of each taxable year). Accordingly,
    we cannot assure you that we will not be a PFIC for our current
    taxable year or any future taxable year. A
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT>
    corporation will be considered a PFIC for any taxable year if
    either (1)&#160;at least 75% of its gross income is passive
    income or (2)&#160;at least 50% of the value of its assets is
    attributable to assets that produce or are held for the
    production of passive income. The market value of our assets is
    generally determined by reference to the market price of our
    common shares, which may fluctuate considerably. If we were
    treated as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S.
    person held a common share, certain adverse U.S. federal income
    tax consequences could apply to such U.S. person. See the

    us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus
    supplement, remains the same. We may also increase or decrease
    the number of shares we are offering. Each increase (decrease)
    of 250,000 shares in the number of shares offered by us would
    increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from this offering by
    approximately $7.7&#160;million, assuming that the assumed

    in the offering price or the number of shares by these amounts

    this offering, although it may accelerate the time at which we
    will need to seek additional capital.

    Our as adjusted net book value as of March&#160;31, 2008 was
    $223.3&#160;million, or $7.04 per share, based upon
    31,736,999&#160;shares outstanding as of that date after giving

    6.0%&#160;Convertible Senior Notes due 2017 into 3,966,841
    common shares on June 27, 2008 at the conversion rate of 53.6061

    outstanding as of March&#160;31, 2008 after giving effect to the
    conversion of the convertible notes into 3,966,841 common

    assumed public offering price of $32.40 per share (the last sale
    price of our common stock as reported on the NASDAQ Global

    Subject to the passive foreign investment company rules
    discussed below under &#147;Passive Foreign Investment
    Company,&#148; the gross amount of all our distributions to a
    U.S.&#160;Holder with respect to the common shares (including
    any Canadian taxes withheld therefrom) will be included in the
    U.S.&#160;Holder&#146;s gross income as foreign source ordinary
    dividend income on the date of receipt by the U.S.&#160;Holder,
    but only to the extent that the distribution is paid out of our
    current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under
    U.S.&#160;federal income tax principles). To the extent that the
    amount of the distribution exceeds our current and accumulated
    earnings and profits, it will be treated first as a tax-free
    return of a U.S.&#160;Holder&#146;s tax basis in its common
    shares, and to the extent the amount of the distribution exceeds
    the U.S.&#160;Holder&#146;s tax basis, the excess will be taxed
    as capital gain. We do not intend to calculate our earnings and
    profits under U.S.&#160;federal income tax principles.
    Therefore, a U.S.&#160;Holder should expect that a distribution
    will be treated as a dividend. The dividends will not be
    eligible for the dividends-received deduction allowed to
    corporations in respect of dividends received from other
    U.S.&#160;corporations.

    With respect to non-corporate U.S.&#160;Holders for taxable
    years beginning before January&#160;1, 2011, dividends may
    constitute &#147;qualified dividend income&#148; that is taxed
    at the lower applicable capital gains rate provided that
    (1)&#160;the common shares are readily tradable on an
    established securities market in the United States or we are
    eligible for the benefits of the income tax treaty between the
    United States and Canada, (2)&#160;we are not a passive foreign
    investment company (as discussed below) for either our taxable
    year in which the dividend was paid or the preceding taxable
    year, (3)&#160;certain holding period requirements are met and
    (4)&#160;the U.S.&#160;Holder is not under an obligation to make
    related payments with respect to positions in substantially
    similar or related property. U.S.&#160;Treasury guidance
    indicates that our common shares, which are listed on the Nasdaq
    Global Market, are readily tradable on an established securities
    market in the United States. There can be no assurance that our
    common shares will be considered readily tradable on an
    established securities market in later years. U.S.&#160;Holders
    should consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of
    the lower rate for dividends paid with respect to our common
    shares.

    Subject to certain limitations, Canadian taxes withheld from a
    distribution to a U.S.&#160;Holder will be eligible for credit
    against such U.S.&#160;Holder&#146;s U.S.&#160;federal income
    tax liability. If a refund of the tax withheld is available to
    the U.S.&#160;Holder under the laws of Canada or under the
    income tax treaty between the United States and Canada, the
    amount of tax withheld that is refundable will not be eligible
    for such credit against the U.S.&#160;Holder&#146;s
    U.S.&#160;federal income tax liability (and will not be eligible
    for the deduction against the U.S.&#160;Holder&#146;s
    U.S.&#160;federal taxable income). If the dividends are
    qualified dividend income (as discussed above), the amount of
    the dividend taken into account for purposes of calculating the
    foreign tax credit limitation will in general be limited to the
    gross amount of the dividend, multiplied by the reduced rate
    divided by the highest rate of tax normally applicable to
    dividends. The limitation on foreign taxes eligible for credit
    is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of
    income. For this purpose, dividends distributed by us with
    respect to common shares generally will constitute &#147;passive
    category income&#148; but could, in the case of certain
    U.S.&#160;Holders, constitute &#147;general category
    income.&#148; The rules relating to the determination of the
    U.S.&#160;foreign tax credit are complex, and U.S.&#160;Holders
    should consult their tax advisors to determine whether and to
    what extent a credit would be available. A U.S.&#160;Holder that
    does not elect to claim a foreign tax credit with respect to any
    foreign taxes for a given taxable year may instead claim an
    itemized deduction for all foreign taxes paid in that taxable
    year.

    are a PFIC. As a result, our PFIC status may change. In
    particular, because the total value of our assets for purposes
    of the asset test will be calculated using the market price of
    our common shares (assuming that we continue to a publicly
    traded corporation for purposes of the applicable PFIC rules),
    our PFIC status will depend in large part on the market price of
    our common shares. Accordingly, fluctuations in the market price
    of our common shares may result in our being a PFIC for any
    year. If we are a PFIC for any year during which a
    U.S.&#160;Holder holds common shares, we generally will continue
    to be treated as a PFIC for all succeeding years during which
    such U.S.&#160;Holder holds common shares, absent a special
    election. For instance, if we cease to be a PFIC, a
    U.S.&#160;Holder may avoid some of the adverse effects of the
    PFIC regime by making a deemed sale election with respect to the
    common shares. If we are a PFIC for any taxable year and any of
    our

    proportionate amount (by value) of the shares of the
    lower-tier&#160;PFIC for purposes of the application of these
    rules. U.S.&#160;Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors
    about the application of the PFIC rules to any of our
    subsidiaries.

    However, deductions are allowable only to the extent of any net
    mark-to-market gains on the common shares included in the
    U.S.&#160;Holder&#146;s income for prior taxable years. Amounts
    included in a U.S.&#160;Holder&#146;s income under a

    other disposition of the common shares, are treated as ordinary

    as to any loss realized on the actual sale or disposition of the

    On September&#160;21, 2007, the Minister of Finance (Canada) and
    the United States Secretary of the Treasury signed the fifth
    protocol to the U.S.&#160;Treaty (the &#147;Protocol&#148;)
    which includes amendments to many of the provisions of the
    U.S.&#160;Treaty, including significant amendments to the
    limitation on benefits provision. The Protocol will enter into
    force once it is ratified by both the Canadian and United States
    governments and will have effect in respect of withholding
    taxes, after the first day of the second month that begins after
    the date on which the Protocol enters into force.
    U.S.&#160;Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors to

    We have granted to the underwriters an option, exercisable not
    later than 30&#160;days after the date of this prospectus
    supplement, to purchase up to 525,000&#160;additional common
    shares at the public offering price less the underwriting
    discounts and commissions set forth on the cover page of this
    prospectus supplement. The underwriters may exercise this option
    solely to cover over-allotments made in connection with the sale
    of the common shares offered by this prospectus supplement and
    accompanying prospectus. To the extent that the underwriters
    exercise this option, each of the underwriters will become
    obligated, subject to conditions, to purchase approximately the
    same percentage of these additional common shares as the number
    of common shares to be purchased by it in the above table bears
    to the total number of common shares offered by this prospectus
    supplement. We will be obligated, pursuant to the option, to
    sell these additional common shares to the underwriters to the
    extent the option is exercised. If any additional common shares
    are purchased, the underwriters will offer the additional shares
    on the same terms as those on which the 3,500,000&#160;shares
    are being offered.

    This prospectus supplement, including the documents incorporated

    power market in several countries. These market data, including
    market data from Solarbuzz, include projections that are based
    on a number of assumptions. The solar power market may not grow
    at the rates projected by the market data, or at all. The
    failure of the market to grow at the projected rates may
    materially and adversely affect our business and the market
    price of our common shares and the notes. In addition, the
    rapidly changing nature of the solar power market subjects any
    projections or estimates relating to the growth prospects or
    future condition of our market to significant uncertainties. If
    any one or more of the assumptions underlying the market data
    proves to be incorrect, actual results may differ from the
    projections based on these assumptions. You should not place

    Act of 1933, as amended or the Securities Act, using a

    registration statement, we or any selling security holder may
    sell any combination of our common shares, and debt securities
    from time to time and in one or more offerings. Each time we or
    any selling security holder sell securities, we may provide a
    supplement to this prospectus that contains specific information
    about the securities being offered and the specific terms of
    that offering. The supplement may also add, update or change
    information contained in this prospectus. If there is any
    inconsistency between the information in this prospectus and any
    prospectus supplement, you should rely on the prospectus
    supplement. Before purchasing any securities, you should
    carefully read both this prospectus and any supplement, together

    The SEC allows us to &#147;incorporate by reference&#148; the

    reference of such documents shall not create any implication
    that there has been no change in our affairs since the date

    of any time subsequent to its date. The information incorporated
    by reference is considered to be a part of this prospectus and
    should be read with the same care. When we update the
    information contained in documents that have been incorporated
    by reference by making future filings with the SEC, the
    information incorporated by reference in this prospectus is
    considered to be automatically updated and superseded. In other
    words, in the case of a conflict or inconsistency between

    Solarbuzz, an independent solar energy research firm, includes
    projections that are based on a number of assumptions. The solar
    power market may not grow at the rates projected by the market
    data, or at all. The failure of the market to grow at the
    projected rates may materially and adversely affect our business
    and the market price of our securities. In addition, the rapidly
    changing nature of the solar power market and related regulatory
    regimes subjects any projections or estimates relating to the
    growth prospects or future condition of our market to
    significant uncertainties. If any one or more of the assumptions

    We design, develop, manufacture and sell solar cell and module
    products that convert sunlight into electricity for a variety of
    uses. We are incorporated in Canada and conduct all of our
    manufacturing operations in China. Our products include a range
    of standard solar modules built to general specifications for
    use in a wide range of residential, commercial and industrial
    solar power generation systems. In addition, we recently
    commenced commercial production of
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">e-Modules,</FONT> a
    cost-effective medium power solar module product using 100%
    upgraded metallurgical grade silicon, or UMgSi. We also design
    and produce specialty solar modules and products manufactured
    based on our customers&#146; requirements. Specialty solar
    modules and products consist of customized modules that our
    customers incorporate into their own products, such as
    solar-powered bus stop lighting, and complete specialty
    products, such as solar-powered car battery chargers. We sell
    our products under our &#147;CSI&#148; brand name and to OEM
    customers under their own brand names. We also implement solar
    power development projects, primarily in conjunction with
    government organizations to provide solar power generation in
    rural areas of China.

    We have historically manufactured our module products from solar
    cells purchased from third-party manufacturers. In 2007, we
    began to pursue a new business model that combines internal
    manufacturing capacity supplemented by direct material purchases
    and outsourced toll manufacturing relationships which we believe
    provides us with several competitive benefits. We believe that
    this approach allows us to benefit from the increased margin
    available to vertically integrated solar manufacturers while
    reducing the capital expenditures required relative to a fully
    vertically integrated business model and produce better returns
    on our invested capital. We also believe that this approach
    provides us with greater flexibility to respond to short-term
    demand patterns and longer-term to take advantage of the
    availability of low-cost outsourced manufacturing capacity.
    Additionally, it has enabled us to improve production yields,
    control our inventory more efficiently and improve cash
    management, which we believe has resulted in increased
    confidence in our forecasts for future revenue growth.

    We believe that we have contractually secured 95% of our silicon
    and solar cell requirements to support solar module production
    of 230 to 260MW in 2008. For silicon material supplies, we have
    entered into a five-year supply agreement with Luoyang Zhong Gui
    High Tech Co. Ltd., or Luoyang Poly, for high purity silicon
    from 2006 to 2010. For silicon wafers, we have entered into a
    fixed price and volume agreement with LDK Solar Co., Ltd., or
    LDK, from 2008 to 2010 for specified quantities of solar wafers,
    including 50MW for delivery in 2008. We also have standby toll
    manufacturing arrangements with LDK and other ingot and wafer
    manufacturers to convert our virgin polysilicon and reclaimed
    silicon feedstock into wafers. In January 2007, we entered into
    a supply agreement with Deutsche Solar AG, or Deutsche Solar,
    for a supply of multi-crystalline silicon wafers through 2018.
    In November 2007, we entered into various agreements with China
    Sunergy Co., Ltd., or China Sunergy, for a supply of 25MW of
    solar cells for delivery in 2008, and an agreement with Gintech
    Energy Corporation, or Gintech, for a supply of 17MW of solar
    cells for delivery in 2008, with an option, subject to
    availability, for an extra 5MW. We have other silicon wafer and
    solar cell supply agreements in place, including a multi-year
    solar wafer supply contract with Jiangsu Shunda Group
    Corporation which should provide us with wafer supplies through
    2015, a solar cell supply contract with Neo Solar Power and a
    UMgSi materials supply contract with Timminco Limited, through
    its subsidiary Becancour Silicon Inc., or BSI. We believe these
    contracts have diversified our silicon wafer and cell supply
    sources and also provide an option of securing additional wafer
    and cell supplies from multiple sources, helping us to meet
    demand for our solar products.

    We have expanded our in-house manufacturing capacity for both
    solar cells and solar modules. As of March&#160;31, 2008, we had
    400MW of combined annual module manufacturing capacity and 100MW
    of annual cell manufacturing capacity. Currently, we intend to
    use all of our solar cells in the manufacturing of our own solar
    module products.

    We are a corporation organized under the federal laws of Canada.
    Most of our directors and officers and some of the experts named
    in this prospectus reside principally outside the United States.
    Because these persons are located outside the United States, it
    may not be possible for you to effect service of process within
    the United States upon those persons. Furthermore, it may not be
    possible for you to enforce against us or them, in the United
    States, judgments obtained in U.S.&#160;courts, because all or a
    substantial portion of our assets and the assets of those
    persons are located outside the United States. We have been
    advised by WeirFoulds LLP, our Canadian counsel, that there are
    defenses that can be raised to the enforceability, in original
    actions in Canadian courts, of liabilities based upon the
    U.S.&#160;federal securities laws and to the enforceability in
    Canadian courts of judgments of U.S.&#160;courts obtained in
    actions based upon the civil liability provisions of
    U.S.&#160;federal securities laws, such that the enforcement in
    Canada of such liabilities and judgments is not certain.
    Therefore, it may not be possible to enforce those actions
    against us, our directors and officers or the experts named in
    this prospectus.

    Chen&#160;&#038; Co. Law Firm has advised us further that the
    recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments are provided
    for under the PRC Civil Procedures Law. PRC courts may recognize
    and enforce foreign judgments in accordance with the
    requirements of the PRC Civil Procedures Law based either on
    treaties between the PRC and the country where the judgment is
    made or on reciprocity between jurisdictions. China does not
    have any treaties or other arrangements that provide for the
    reciprocal recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments with
    the United States or Canada. As a result, it is generally
    difficult to recognize and enforce in China a judgment rendered
    by a court in either of these two jurisdictions.

    Our board of directors has the authority, without shareholder

    shares of a series of preferred shares. While the issuance of
    preferred shares provides us with flexibility in connection with
