Global solar module and battery storage manufacturer and project developer
Canadian Solar operates across two distinct business lines: manufacturing (solar modules, inverters, battery storage systems) and utility-scale project development (12+ GWp of solar, 6+ GWh of storage deployed). The tech stack is enterprise-focused (SAP, Oracle, Workday, Power BI, Tableau) with active adoption of warehouse management systems and compliance tooling (Microsoft Sentinel, KQL), reflecting operational complexity across manufacturing, supply chain, and regulatory oversight. Hiring spans engineering, manufacturing, and ops across 12 countries, with a notable gap in the compliance and internal control layer (dedicated roles for audit, PSM, and hazmat management) signaling ongoing operational maturity work.
