<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Certain statements in this press release are forward-looking statements
that involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. These statements are made under
the &quot;Safe Harbor&quot; provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, you can identify
forward-looking statements by such terms as &quot;believes,&quot; &quot;expects,&quot; &quot;anticipates,&quot; &quot;intends,&quot;
 &quot;estimates,&quot; the negative of these terms, or other comparable terminology. Factors that could cause actual results to differ
include general business, regulatory and economic conditions and the state of the solar and battery storage market and industry; geopolitical
tensions and conflicts, including impasses, sanctions and export controls; volatility, uncertainty, delays and disruptions related to
the COVID-19 pandemic; supply chain disruptions; governmental support for the deployment of solar power; future available supplies of
high-purity silicon; demand for end-use products by consumers and inventory levels of such products in the supply chain; changes in demand
from significant customers; changes in demand from major markets, such as Japan, the U.S., China, Brazil and Europe; changes in effective
tax rates; changes in customer order patterns; changes in product mix; changes in corporate responsibility, especially environmental,
social and governance (&quot;ESG&quot;) requirements; capacity utilization; level of competition; pricing pressure and declines in or
failure to timely adjust average selling prices; delays in new product introduction; delays in utility-scale project approval process;
delays in utility-scale project construction; delays in the completion of project sales; continued success in technological innovations
and delivery of products with the features that customers demand; shortage in supply of materials or capacity requirements; availability
of financing; exchange and inflation rate fluctuations; litigation and other risks as described in Canadian Solar&rsquo;s filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its annual report on Form&nbsp;20-F filed on April&nbsp;26, 2024. Although Canadian
Solar and Recurrent Energy believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, it cannot guarantee
future results, level of activity, performance, or achievements. Investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
