KITCHENER, ON, April 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Canadian Solar Inc. (the "Company" or "Canadian Solar") (NASDAQ:CSIQ) today announced that its residential energy storage system, EP Cube, has won the prestigious 2025 iF Design Award and Gold at the 2025 MUSE Design Awards.
Both the iF Design Award and MUSE Design Award highlight the innovative and outstanding design of EP Cube, which stood out among tens of thousands of submissions from over 60 countries. EP Cube is designed by Eternalplanet, a subsidiary of Canadian Solar.
