Canadian Solar Inc. (NASDAQ: CSIQ) has responded to a patent infringement complaint filed by Trina Solar Co., on October 8, 2024. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, alleges that three of Canadian Solar's U.S. subsidiaries are infringing on two U.S. patents related to tunnel oxide passivated contact solar photovoltaic module technology (TOPCon).

Canadian Solar, a major global solar product manufacturer, produces various solar products including TOPCon modules. The company has thousands of its own patents and asserts that the lawsuit is frivolous.
