Trina Solar Reaches 100GW Modules Shipment Milestone

Trina Solar has reached a remarkable milestone, having shipped 100GW of modules in the 25 years since the company was founded in 1997. 

Inspired by the signing of the Kyoto Protocol in 1997, Trina Solar was founded that year with its headquarters in China's Changzhou city, making it one of the world's earliest photovoltaic (PV) companies.

As a leading PV company, Trina Solar has been pioneering solar technology for the past 25 years, while the diameter of silicon wafers has grown from 125mm to 210mm and module power has grown from less than 100W to 690W.

PV power generation is a major source of clean energy deployed in many areas, from utility projects to household rooftops, around the world. 

Trina Solar's 100GW of PV modules have been shipped to more than 100 countries.

Collectively, this 100GW of PV modules can generate about 135 billion kWh of clean-energy power, reducing annual global CO₂ emissions by 135 million tons, and standard coal consumption by 54.54 million tons, the equivalent of planting 7.29 billion trees.

With the longest duration of product services, Trina Solar also celebrates 25 years of entrepreneurship and 25 years of quality assurance.

In technology and innovation, Trina Solar has set a total of 23 world records for PV cell-conversion efficiency and module output power.

Based on its excellent product performance, Trina Solar is the only PV company to score 100% in the Bloomberg New Energy Finance Bankability Survey for six consecutive years as a top bankable module supplier. The company has also achieved excellent test results in the PVEL Product Qualification Program for seven consecutive years.
