Trina Solar Co., Ltd ("Trina Solar" or the "Company"), the world's leading PV 
and smart energy total solution provider, has been recognized as a "Top 
Performer" for outstanding product reliability and performance among global PV 
module manufacturers by PV Evolution Labs (PVEL), the leading independent test 
laboratory for the global downstream solar industry. 

The company is one of only two PV module manufacturers with worldwide reach to 
gain the recognition for the sixth consecutive time since the Top Performer 
designation was established.

The recognition is based on the results of the Product Qualification Program 
(PQP), presented in the 2020 PV Module Reliability Scorecard issued by PVEL, 
following factory inspections that took place over the 18 months leading up to 
2020. With a focus on evaluating the performance of PV modules in terms of 
thermal cycling, damp heat, dynamic mechanical load, potential-induced 
degradation, PAN files, etc., the PQP was designed to independently recognize 
manufacturers who outpace their competitors in product quality and durability, 
and provide PV equipment buyers and power plant investors with independent, 
consistent reliability and performance data that supports effective supplier 
management. 

Tristan Erion Lorico, head of PV Module Business at PVEL, said: "Consistent top 
performance in the PVEL PV Module Reliability Scorecard demonstrates a 
manufacturer's commitment to product quality. As new products are introduced 
manufacturers must adhere to strict quality control standards to maintain high 
levels of reliability and performance of their products. We are honored to 
recognize Trina Solar as a Top Performer again and we look forward to testing 
future Trina products as the company continues to innovate." 

Yin Rongfang, vice general manager and executive vice president of Trina Solar, 
said: "It is encouraging to see Trina Solar being recognized as a Top Performer 
for the sixth time in a row by an authoritative third party such as PVEL. With 
more than 20 years' of technical know-how, Trina Solar is committed to 
sustainability through the delivery of high power, highly efficient and 
top-performing modules with proven quality and reliability.

"PV power represents a long-term, stable and sustainable solution. We look 
forward to becoming the supplier of choice for more prospective partners, 
providing them with highly reliable and ultra-high power modules, such as the 
Vertex module. These top-performing modules will continue to accelerate the 
adoption of PV power across the globe by further improving the 
balance-of-systems costs and levelized cost of electricity."
