2017 will be weaker than this year. Utilities aren't signing contracts for solar energy in big numbers, and that could leave a company like Canadian Solar with a shrinking pipeline and overcapacity of solar panels.
Now what: As Chinese solar manufacturers go, Canadian Solar is well positioned with a large market share and a big project development business. But it also has razor thin margins, so a decline in business next year or a loss of revenue from the manufacturing disaster could negatively impact the company. I'm cautiously optimistic for Canadian Solar going forward, but there are a lot of questions that management needs to answer over the next year.
