I ended up letting them expire and will let the stock get called away. I figured rolling them out is too risky since CSIQ could continue to take off and I don't want to chase it. I have lots of medium-term and leaps for CSIQ as well as shares anyways so losing 300 shares (which I had bought at $19) for $37 + initial premium seemed like a good way to lock in some profit and avoid bid/ask spreads and transaction fees by rolling it out.

I did the same thing with my CSIQ stock and I had the same thought process as you except I sold covered calls at a $40 strike. I also have a substantial number of Jan 15 and Jan 16 LEAPS, and APR calls so I also am still profiting immensely if CSIQ keeps going up (when it goes up?). If it goes down I can buy the stock back. These shares I bought at $27 though.
Thanks to sleepy I do still have shares I bought at $14 in my roth IRA. Seems so long ago but it really was only half a year ago...I just wish I had gone full force on CSIQ at that time!
Those are the levels I bought CSIQ shares too. I expect CSIQ to continue to march on at least until March (no pun intended) when they release earnings and am betting heavy on it. Exciting times.
Some pv technology news from downunder:
"At present, the best commercial solar cells convert between 17 per cent and 19 per cent of the sun's energy into electricity. UNSW's technique, patented this year, should produce efficiencies of between 21 per cent and 23 per cent. The breakthrough involves using hydrogen atoms to counter defects in silicon cells used in solar panels. As a consequence, poor quality silicon can be made to perform like high quality wafers. Panel prices are predicted to fall much further. European producers predict they will be 60 per cent cheaper by 2020"

Ex got M3 in the divorce, waiting for EU Model Y!
many of you might not have seen this interview (only 19 views).
towards the end the guy states that JASO needs/wants to improve module capacity as actual production is not enough to meet clients demand.

Here is an article that flyingroc posted to TCI this morning:
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/sec-judge-suspends-big-four-015318239.html
This is the reason why all US-listed Chinese companies are taking a big beating this morning.
Investing in Chinese solar stocks, as well as all other Chinese companies, is a huge risk and you really have to stay on top of the news stories if you want to invest there; but more importantly you have to be able to interpret the stories properly to gauge what the sentiment is going to be. Lots of risks and wild price swings based on news flow when it comes to Chinese stocks; most of it is FUD but nobody cares.

Took advantage of the drop to get out from under the calls I'd sold earlier just before SPWR took off last week. I went from taking a pretty big hit on those to a non-event. I had a order set for a trigger point for basically break even, so I could have actually made a profit it'd I'd just sat and watched, but I'm good with this result.
Yay, solar roller coaster

Holding SOL Apr 19 $4.50 calls and JASO Mar 22 $10 calls. Both are down over 50% from what I bought them for and I'm just wondering if I should hold in hopes of a better days, or sell at a loss and buy Jan '15 leaps instead.
Does anyone see some good news / catalysts on the short term horizon for these two companies?
What's the better strategy here, the short term calls will go up much faster than Jan '15 leaps, on good news, but the risk is that the good news comes after expiration (as happened with my Dec 21 TSLA $160 calls).

No worries, I got it
Edit:
JASO 11 Feb22 calls are .20 right now. That'd be a considerable gamble, but with any recovery and rising IV going into ER, it seems like a good risk/reward. High risk, but the stock was at $12 two months ago.
I've got an order to pick some up at market open if the price still holds at that point.
