<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>GUELPH, ON, January 13, 2021</B> &ndash; <FONT STYLE="color: windowtext">Canadian
Solar Inc.</FONT> (&ldquo;Canadian Solar&rdquo;) (NASDAQ: CSIQ) today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Recurrent Energy,
completed the sale of the Slate project to Goldman Sachs Renewable Power LLC (&ldquo;GSRP&rdquo;). Revenue from the transaction
will be recognized in Q1 2021 and commercial operation is anticipated in late 2021.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Slate project is a 300 MWac solar plus 140.25 MW / 561
MWh storage project located in Kings County, California, and has commenced construction. Canadian Solar&rsquo;s
majority-owned energy storage subsidiary, System Solutions and Energy Storage (&ldquo;SSES&rdquo;), will provide the battery
storage integration solution for the project. Additionally, PNC Bank is providing a tax equity commitment to the project,
which demonstrates its pledge to not only manage its own operations in an environmentally sustainable manner, but also to
support clients with innovative financing options as the world transitions to a low-carbon economy.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The project has signed PPAs with five different off-takers,
four of which are solar and energy storage, and one that is solar-only.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>Dr. Shawn Qu, chairman and CEO of Canadian Solar</B> stated,
 &ldquo;The Slate project is Recurrent Energy&rsquo;s largest solar-plus-storage project and represents continued investment in
a community where we have done business for nearly a decade. Given the huge market opportunity presented by battery storage, both standalone as well as paired with solar, we have focused significant
resources in developing our own technological, servicing and financing solutions over the past few years. We are now starting to see our
efforts come to fruition and are solidly positioning Canadian Solar as a market leader in this space. This transaction demonstrates that
our SSES team is now a top bankable battery storage solutions provider with deep technical know-how in solar and battery integration technology.
Likewise, the Recurrent Energy team has done an excellent job in growing our storage pipeline in the U.S. which is currently over 4 GWh.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Dr. Qu added, &ldquo;Having recently transacted with
Goldman Sachs Renewable Power on our first large-scale storage integration and long term service agreement for the
neighboring Mustang project, after the project sale in 2019, we are pleased to partner again with GSRP on the Slate
project, expected to be one of the largest integrated solar-plus-storage projects in the U.S.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>Jon Yoder, Head of the Renewable Power Group of Goldman Sachs
Asset Management</B>, said &ldquo;We are very excited to partner with Canadian Solar once again on a landmark project that will
provide a significant new source of clean, renewable energy to California and a battery storage system that will help facilitate
California&rsquo;s transition to a carbon free power grid.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Slate project will generate enough low-cost, clean energy
to power approximately 126,000 California homes. The power plant will utilize approximately 962,000 of Canadian Solar's&nbsp;high
efficiency bifacial&nbsp;BiKu modules across approximately 2,400 acres in Kings County, California.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>Dr. Qu</B> added, &ldquo;We applaud our Slate customers for
their commitment to use solar generation coupled with expanded storage capacity to enable a cleaner energy economy and brighter
future in California. As solar-plus-storage installations in the US are expected to nearly triple in 2020 and more than double
in 2021, we are pleased to continue to offer flexible and reliable clean energy and grid reliability solutions for our customers
and the communities they serve.&rdquo;</P>

construction, with at least 50% of those construction jobs expected to be filled by local skilled tradesmen from the Kings
County area. Along with indirect economic benefits that accompany solar project development, such as increased local spending
in the service and construction industries, the Slate project will also have a positive economic impact on the local
community by providing significant tax revenues for Kings County.</P>
