Qu, who founded the solar technology and renewable energy company in Mississauga, Ontario, 25 years ago, will transition from his role as chairman and CEO. Parkin had previously served as president.

Revenue fell 9.9% on last year to $1.08 billion.

The company said solar module shipments that were recognized as revenue in the first quarter totaled 2.5 gigawatts, down 42% quarter-over-quarter and 64% below a year earlier. Battery energy storage shipments recognized as revenue totaled 2.1 gigawatt-hours, up 5% on the prior quarter and 142% higher than the same period last year.
