<p style="font-size:10.0pt;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><b><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-weight:bold;">GUELPH, Ontario, Canada, </font></b><b>August&nbsp;31</b><b>, 2015</b> &#151; Canadian Solar Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;, or &#147;Canadian Solar&#148;) (NASDAQ: CSIQ), one of the world&#146;s largest solar power companies, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Recurrent Energy, one of North America&#146;s largest solar project developers, signed an agreement with Southern Power, a subsidiary of Southern Company (NYSE: SO). Southern Power will acquire a controlling interest in the 200-megawatt (MW) Tranquillity Solar Power Project in California. The project, developed by Recurrent Energy, is currently under construction.</p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="font-size:10.0pt;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Under the terms of the agreement, Southern Power will acquire approximately 51% of the solar generation </font>project. Canadian Solar will retain 49% ownership and contribute its share of the investment required to complete the construction of the project, which the Company has fully financed through a construction and back-leveraged loan facility with a syndicate of six banks.</p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="font-size:10.0pt;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Tranquillity project</font>, covering an area of 1,900 acres in Fresno County, is expected to reach commercial operation in the fourth quarter of 2016 with Signal Energy Constructors as the provider of engineering, procurement, and construction services. The project is expected to generate enough clean solar energy to power approximately 55,000 homes. The electricity and associated renewable energy credits (RECs) generated by the facility will be sold to Southern California Edison under a 15-year power purchase agreement.</p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;The Tranquillity project is an attractive opportunity for investors, providing long term stable cash flows,&#148; said Dr.&nbsp;Shawn Qu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Canadian Solar. &#147;This transaction is another example of solar power&#146;s move into the mainstream energy mix, and it shows our broader team&#146;s ability to attract top notch investors to finance our high-quality projects.&#148;</font></p>
