We eliminated all intercompany transactions and balances during consolidation. Investments in unconsolidated affiliates in which we have less than a controlling interest are accounted for using the equity or cost method of accounting. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications primarily related to the adoptions of Accounting Standards Update (&#8220;ASU&#8221;) 2016-09 and ASU 2016-18 as further described in </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Note 3 &#8220;Recent Accounting Pronouncements&#8221;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> to our consolidated financial statements.</font></div></div>

On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to percentage-of-completion revenue recognition, inventory valuation, recoverability of project assets and PV solar power systems, estimates of future cash flows from and the economic useful lives of long-lived assets, asset retirement obligations (&#8220;AROs&#8221;), certain accrued liabilities, income taxes and tax valuation allowances, reportable segment allocations, product warranties, solar module collection and recycling liabilities, applying the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations, and testing goodwill for impairment. Despite our intention to establish accurate estimates and reasonable assumptions, actual results could differ materially from these estimates and assumptions.</font></div></div>
