Trina Solar Co., Ltd.'s global PV module shipments passed a new milestone in 
2019, topping 10 GW for the year. According to the 2019 module shipment ranking 
released by PV InfoLink, Trina Solar ranked among the top three and maintained 
its global leadership in the category. 

In 2019, the company broke the world record for the conversion efficiency of 
N-type monocrystalline and N-type cast-mono i-TOPCon solar cells, while 
continuing to promote multi-busbar, double-glass, bifacial and other advanced 
module technologies, leading the PV industry in terms of technical advantages. 
In August, Trina Solar took the initiative in developing modules that deploy 
the 210mm silicon wafer (210 modules), in line with industry trends. Based on 
decades of R&D and manufacturing experience, the company introduced a unique 
three-piece and multi-busbar design for large-size modules. The first 210 
module prototype rolled off the company's production line in early 2020, 
greatly accelerating time-to-market for large-size modules. 

The company's TrinaPro solution business witnessed rapid growth in 2019. 
TrinaPro features a selection of Trina Solar's high-efficiency modules, which, 
combined with an intelligent bifacial tracker algorithm and a 1500V intelligent 
inverter, can effectively enhance overall system efficiency, reduce the 
levelized cost of electricity and win the favor of customers worldwide. Sales 
of the Trinpro solution in the first three quarters of 2019 climbed to more 
than five times the figures for the whole of 2018. TrinaPro was deployed at 
several PV power installations that went into operation during 2019, including 
a Qinghai Golmud Solar Park and a PV facility in Marchihue, Chile, garnering 
high recognition from owners for excellent power generation and system 
reliability. 

In 2019, the company invested in the construction of GW-level high-efficiency 
solar cell and module production facilities in Yiwu, Zhejiang and Suqian, 
Jiangsu in China, and signed framework agreements for the second phase of the 
projects, which, upon completion in 2020, will significantly increase the 
company's capacity. 

Trina Solar vice general manage and executive vice president Yin Rongfang said, 
"We are excited to see that Trina Solar's module and solution business again 
achieved remarkable numbers in terms of shipments and received recognition from 
customers worldwide. In 2020, Trina Solar will continue developing its module 
and tracker businesses while expanding the breadth of its smart energy 
solutions and number of downstream projects. We also see great potential for 
combining PV and energy storage and have taken the initiative by investing in 
R&D to meet the expected demand. As an important player in and promoter of 
green energy applications, Trina Solar plans to continue maintaining steady 
growth while providing high-quality products and services to customers 
worldwide."
