Meanwhile, in the previous January, it sold another two for US$32.2 million. This time the projects' capacities were not disclosed.

In its Q3 2017 financials, Canadian Solar’s net attributable income fell to $13.3 million, from $38.2 million the previous quarter.

It recorded strong performance in its module manufacturing business, however, shipping 1.87 GW for the quarter, compared with 1.74 GW for the previous quarter. Revenue also rose to $912 million, 31% above the previous quarter, and 39% above the figure for Q3 2016.

At the end of last year, the company received a “going private” proposal from chairman, president and CEO, Dr. Shawn Qu. The Canadian Solar board has formed a special committee to consider it.
