The Leader of Global Solar Energy Industry

Founded in 1997, Trina Solar Co., Ltd (“Trina Solar”), one of the earliest Chinese solar companies listed on the NYSE, is the leading total solution provider for solar energy around the world. By the end of 2017, Trina Solar had delivered more than 32 GW solar modules worldwide, which makes Trina the world’s largest solar module supplier. It is estimated that Trina could help reduce approximately 32 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions each year.

Equipped with a strong capacity of R&D, Trina Solar has developed and launched a full range of solar solutions, including smart modules, smart systems, energy storage and smart O&M. In its downstream businesses, Trina Solar provides project development, financing, design, construction, and O&M, as well as one-stop system integration solutions for customers. By the end of 2017, the Company had connected nearly 2 GW solar projects to grids around the world.

Green and Low-carbon Production

We focus on the investment in security , environment and health . In the 2011 year’s products’ security appraisal competition of global solar energy enterprise published in 2012 , the photovoltaic module produced by Trina Solar ranked first comprehensively ,in aspects of cyclic utilization ,producing security, staff and supply chain work safely and healthily as well as transparency of company information disclosure.

Compared with traditional coal-fired power generation , solar power generation can substantially decrease the emission of carbon dioxide. We consider how to produce more clean energy to help reduce the emission of carbon dioxide substantially with higher efficiency as our biggest challenge . We are devoted to continuously exploring and applying the carbon dioxide release technology that could increase the efficiency and help reduce the carbon dioxide emission by using low-carbon green energy , in order to push the transformation of human energy pattern , systematically solve the economic development , environmental and energy safety problems as well as offering cleaner resources to the public.
