Canadian Solar Comments on ITC Complaint Filed by Solaria Corporation

GUELPH, ON, Sept. 25, 2020Canadian Solar Inc. (the "Company", or "Canadian Solar") (NASDAQ: CSIQ), today issued the following comment:

Over the past five months, Canadian Solar has been vigorously litigating a patent lawsuit filed by Solaria in April 2020 in the U.S. District Court in Oakland, California, entitled The Solaria Corporation v. Canadian Solar Inc., Case No. 4:20-cv-02169-JST (N.D. Cal.). Canadian Solar countersued with claims requesting that the Court declare, as Canadian Solar believes, that:

(1) none of the products at issue in the case infringe the Solaria patents;

(2) Solaria withheld key evidence from the U.S. Patent Office when seeking its patents; and

(3) this, among other reasons, renders the asserted claims both invalid and unenforceable. 

In the face of Canadian Solar’s countersuit, Solaria opted to file a new lawsuit with the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC), entitled Certain Shingled Solar Modules, Components Thereof, and Methods for Manufacturing the Same, Section 337 Investigation Docket No. 3491. The ITC investigation is expected to be instituted next month. 

Asserting the same family of patents against the same limited number of products (HiDM and HiDM5) in a different forum does not make Solaria’s claims any less flawed. Canadian Solar will continue to vigorously defend these lawsuits, while the Company continues to focus its energy on developing superior product and bringing innovation to the market.

About Canadian Solar Inc.

Canadian Solar was founded in 2001 in Canada and is one of the world’s largest solar power companies. It is a leading manufacturer of solar photovoltaic modules and provider of solar energy solutions and has a geographically diversified pipeline of utility-scale solar power projects in various stages of development. Over the past 19 years, Canadian Solar has successfully delivered over 46 GW of premium-quality, solar photovoltaic modules to customers in over 150 countries. Canadian Solar is one of the most bankable companies in the solar industry, having been publicly listed on NASDAQ since 2006.

Terminus’ AI CITY: The Cornerstone of Urban Digitization and the Pulse of Cities

BEIJING, Sept. 25, 2020 — On September 23, the world’s leading smart service provider, Terminus Group, officially announced its AI CITY strategy in Beijing, the embodiment of Terminus Group’s experience gathered over the past five years, and unveiled the TACOS -Terminus AI CITY Operating System, for the first time.

Victor AI, founder and CEO of Terminus Group, together with Jonathan Woetzel, senior partner at McKinsey & Company and the director of McKinsey Global Institute, Bjarke Ingels, founder and creative director of Bjarke Ingels Group, oversaw the concept and strategy promulgation in this one of the most important grand occasions in AI CITY industry, and gave speeches on urban digitization and Terminus Group’s AI CITY solutions.

Cities are becoming bigger and denser in an era of unprecedented urbanization. At the same time, large-scale mobile digital layers exist atop these dense environments. Combining these two trends to better understand the city will lead to a great age of Urban Digitization, which can be used to help residents, businesses, and governments gain insights into how cities work. 

In response to the aforementioned trends and requirements, Terminus Group’s strategy has combined the hardware and software to further promote the OTA (Over the Air) city autonomous upgrade model reshaping the form of the city. As the core idea of Terminus Group’s AI CITY strategy, the city OTA describes an underlying system for urban interaction that can be constantly upgraded and modified remotely.

In the AI CITY, various solutions including smart communities, smart fire protection, smart security, smart finance and smart cultural tourism are all packed into digital layers that are ready to be deployed in upgrading the target industries, and they are all integrated into the city smart operating system TACOS. Being the essential parts of the city’s neural network, they could contribute to making the city brain even smarter. TACOS, the city hub, will be a collection and a distribution center for diverse information and instructions coming from the IoT devices spread around the city, and will help the city operators obtain instant information and make more responsive and optimal decisions.

Nowadays, the traditional notions of what a city can be and how it can best serve its citizens has been challenged by new game developers, planners, and designers

According to Victor AI, "Just like the invention of smartphone in the mobile network era and the vehicle networking inspiring the smart cars revolution, in the 5G+AIoT era, as the aggregation carriers of various vertical scenarios, and the most important supportive arm for the industrial economy, cities will also upgrade in the transformation from traditional mode to AI driven form. Definitely, Terminus Group is born for the new city form".

At this global press conference, Victor AI also introduced the CLOUD VALLEY, the world’s first AI CITY initiated by Terminus Group in Chongqing in April this year, which is also Terminus Group’s first achievement under the partnership with BIG and has directed path for the world’s AI CITY development.

With regards to Terminus Group’s AI CITY solutions, Jonathan Woetzel commented: "Terminus Group is the direction for the future development of China’s AI CITY industry. And going to step further, not just in China, the intelligentization of the city will fundamentally subvert the current model of urban infrastructure, and we firmly believe Terminus Group can accomplish this remarkable feat."

In Bjarke Ingels’ view, the cooperation with Terminus Group is a new journey for BIG to explore more possibilities of the future AI CITY, "We are excited to build an in-depth partnership with Terminus Group, as our two sides have the shared vision of creating spirited sustainable cities around the world."

At this press conference, Terminus Group also launched its "T-Plan", which is the company’s newest initiative aimed at recruiting the top talents specializing in AI,5G,IoT and cloud platform worldwide to back its global AI CITY ambitions.
