Exhibit 99.2
August 27, 2020
Dear Shareholders,
Second quarter results demonstrated solid execution and operational excellence in a challenging environment. We grew revenue by 93% y/y during the quarter, gross margin of 28.4% exceeded the updated guidance we announced on August 6th, and importantly, we returned to profitability with net income of $3.1 million.
Our solid financial performance was driven by outstanding operating results. First, we announced the sale of a 10.4 MW Minnesota community solar portfolio to Nautilus Solar Energy. Second, we connected 15 MW of “micro projects” in Hungary. Third, we agreed to participate in a consortium to develop a large-scale ground-mounted solar plant in the south of France.
In addition to solid top-line and bottom-line results, we strengthened our financial position through debt reduction and a capital raise. Foremost, we are committed to generating cash and paying down debt. We generated over $5 million in cash from operations and strengthened our balance sheet in the second quarter by reducing total debt by nearly $8 million. This was remarkable considering the challenging macro environment we face as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic. Subsequent to quarter end, we further strengthened the balance sheet with a capital raise. We implemented an “at-the-market” (ATM) equity offering program, under which we are selling up to an aggregate of $5 million of ReneSola Power’s common stock. We plan to use the net proceeds to expand our new project pipeline and for general working capital purposes. Additionally, the capital infusion will enable us to execute our long-term strategic growth plan as we further consolidate our transformation into an asset-light solar developer.
Further advancing our growth plan, this week we announced a definitive agreement to acquire certain assets from an undisclosed reputable solar developer in the U.S. The acquisition will also add an experienced solar project development team and should solidify our position as a leading global solar energy developer and operator. We believe that these new project assets being acquired are highly complementary to our existing business. In particular, the new team brings expertise in the development of U.S. distributed generation and small-scale utility projects with battery storage, which should augment our historical strength in U.S. community solar and European DG.
Once completed, the transaction is expected to immediately increase our total solar project pipeline in the U.S. by approximately 200 MW. In addition, the acquisition provides ReneSola Power with access to utility projects and development activities in a number of states, including Pennsylvania, California, New York, Maine, Illinois and Arizona. By leveraging our global reach and experience with the new team's solid track record in the U.S., we are expanding the scale of our solar energy development platform. We look forward to capturing potential market opportunities while driving value for all stakeholders.
We are optimistic about multi-year growth prospects. In the rest of this letter, I will remind you of why we are excited about our future.
Large Market Opportunity
The global solar power project development business is large yet continues to grow. Industry market research estimates that by 2040, the share of renewables in the energy market will increase to around 30% and will become the single largest source globally of power generation. Europe continues to lead the way in terms of penetration of renewables. Renewable energy is expected to account for more than 50% of the European energy market by 2040. Both Europe and the U.S. are expected to be the two key markets driving the growth of renewables in the next several years. With our focus on the U.S. and European markets (primarily Poland, Hungary, Spain, France, and the U.K.), we believe we are strategically positioned for growth.
Our Project Development business benefits from an intense focus on small-scale projects in diverse jurisdictions with a high PPA/FiT price that generate attractive returns. As of June 30, 2020, our total project pipeline was approximately 700 MW, and our late-stage pipeline was approximately 500 MW, up from 423 MW last quarter. We continue to focus on profitable markets, including the U.S. and Europe, where we see tremendous growth opportunities with high-quality projects. Importantly, we intend to add incremental project pipeline in our core markets (the U.S., U.K., Spain, Poland, France, Germany and Hungary) to reach 1GW by the end of 2020. Our teams around the world are dedicated to our success, possessing excellent skills and years of industry experience. In addition, we believe our healthy balance sheet provides a strong foundation to fund growth.

Attractive Profit-Optimized Project Pipeline
The development pipeline is strong at around 700 MW, of which over 500 MW are late-stage projects and about 23 MW are under construction. We believe the profile of this pipeline is attractive due to its broad geographic diversification in Europe.
Late-stage projects include those with the legal right to develop based on definitive agreements, including those held by project Special Purpose Vehicles (“SPVs”) or joint-venture project SPVs whose controlling power belongs to us.

Second Quarter 2020 Financial Details
Revenue
Second quarter of 2020 revenue was $26.2 million, up sequentially and up year-over-year. Revenue from Project Development was largely driven by the sale of the 14 MW projects in Hungary. Energy sales were mostly from the 36.4 million KWh generated by our rooftop DG projects in China.
Gross Profits and Gross Margin
Gross profit was $7.4 million in second quarter of 2020, yielding a gross margin of 28.4%. This compares to a gross profit of $1.4 million and gross margin of 6.4% in first quarter of 2020, and a gross profit of $10.5 million and gross margin of 77.3% in second quarter of 2019. The sequential increase in gross margin mainly reflects higher revenue contribution from energy sales and the project sales in the second quarter relative to last quarter.
Operating Expense and Operating Income
Second quarter of 2020 operating expenses were $2.9 million, up sequentially and down year-over-year. Marketing expenses of $135,000 were up sequentially and up year-over-year. General and administrative expenses of $1.8 million were down both sequentially and year-over-year. The decrease in general and administrative expenses reflected the Company’s commitment to exercise disciplined expense control.
2 Reconciliations to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) financial measures from non-GAAP financial measures are presented below under “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in Appendix 4.
Second quarter operating income was $4.6 million, compared to a loss of $1.1 million in first quarter of 2020 and an income of $7.1 million in second quarter of 2019. Non-GAAP2 operating income in second quarter of 2020 was $6.0 million, compared to non-GAAP operating loss of $0.7 million in first quarter of 2020 and non-GAAP operating income of $9.0 million in second quarter of 2019.
Net Income/loss
Second quarter of 2020 net income attributed to ReneSola Ltd was $3.1 million, compared to a loss of $4.4 million in first quarter of 2020 and an income of $5.1 million in second quarter of 2019. Net income per share was $0.06 in second quarter of 2020, compared to net loss per share of $0.09 in first quarter of 2020 and net income per share of $0.13 in second quarter of 2019.

Financial Position
We had cash and cash equivalents of $11.3 million as of June 30, 2020, compared to $15.5 million as of March 31, 2020 and $8.7 million as of June 30, 2019. Long-term borrowings were $3.0 million as of June 30, 2020, compared to $8.5 million as of March 31, 2020 and $10.5 million as of June 30, 2019. Long-term failed sale-lease back and finance lease liabilities, associated with the financial leasing payables for rooftop projects in China, were $41.8 million as of June 30, 2020, compared to $44.0 million as of March 31, 2020 and $70.7 million as of June 30, 2019. Short-term borrowings were $31.5 million as of June 30, 2020, down from $33.5 million as of March 31, 2020 and $82.8 million as of June 30, 2019.
Outlook
For 2020, we continue to expect revenue in the range of $80 to $100 million and overall gross margin in the range of 18 % to 20%. For the third quarter of 2020, we expect revenue to be in the range of $8 to $10 million and overall gross margin in the range of 38% to 42%.
Conclusion
We remain confident that we have the right strategy, as our strategic focus on the U.S. and Europe positions us as a global leader in project development. We intend to drive down our cost of capital by continuing to strengthen our balance sheet, and through greater visibility and accessibility in the U.S. capital markets. We are focused on operating efficiently and profitably, delivering high returns and generating strong cash flow, which we believe can drive a higher valuation over time. In 2020, we will continue to grow our business globally. With our talented team, diversified geographic coverage and track record of success at every stage of project development, we believe we are well-positioned to deliver profitable growth in the years ahead.
I want to thank the ReneSola Power team for their great efforts and work to address the challenges we face in the current environment. And, I would like to thank our investors and stakeholders for your continued support of ReneSola Power.

Appendix 4:
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement ReneSola Ltd’s financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, ReneSola Ltd provides Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental measures of its performance.
To provide investors with additional insight and allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the information used by management in its financial and decision-making surrounding pro-forma operations, we supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on a basis consistent with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, with EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income/ (loss) attributed to ReneSola Ltd and non-GAAP EPS as non-GAAP financial measures of earnings.
• EBITDA represents net income before income tax expense (benefit), interest expense, depreciation and amortization.
• Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA plus discount of electricity subsidy in China, plus share-based compensation, plus bad debt provision, plus impairment of long-lived assets, plus one-time penalty of postponed payables, plus loss on one-time settlement of disputed Turkish receivables, plus loss/(gain) on disposal of assets, plus foreign exchange loss/(gain).
•Non-GAAP net income/ (loss) attributed to ReneSola Ltd represents GAAP net income/(loss) attributed to ReneSola Ltd plus discount of electricity subsidy in China, plus share-based compensation, plus bad debt provision, plus impairment of long-lived assets, plus one-time penalty of postponed payables, plus loss on one-time settlement of disputed Turkish receivables, plus loss/(gain) on disposal of assets, plus foreign exchange loss/(gain).
• Non-GAAP EPS represents Non-GAAP net income/ (loss) attributed to ReneSola Ltd divided by the number of fully diluted shares outstanding.
Our management uses EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income/ (loss) attributed to ReneSola Ltd and non-GAAP EPS as financial measures to evaluate the profitability and efficiency of our business model. We use these non-GAAP financial measures to access the strength of the underlying operations of our business. These adjustments, and the non-GAAP financial measures that are derived from them, provide supplemental information to analyze our operations between periods and over time.
We find these measures especially useful when reviewing pro-forma results of operations, which include large non-cash impairment of long-lived assets and loss on disposal of assets. Investors should consider our non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
