Trina Solar "The power behind the panel"

Founded in 1997, Trina Solar is a leading manufacturer of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules and an industry leader in system integration. Focusing on such areas as the global solar market, becoming the industry leader in solar modules, solutions and service, and innovation; Trina Solar is a company to keep your eye on. In recent months Trina has started to become recognized name world wide, they are working to have their panels recognized in both the United States and Canada, with the way they are growing it is not surprising that they are reaching their goals ahead of schedule.

Should you consider a Trina solar panel for your next system? Absolutely, starting with the price of the panels, Trina is extremely cost effective and efficient. To date, Trina has shipped 11GW of solar panels globally, has passed 30 quality tests, has just under 980 solar patents, and has set the solar power output record in the years 2011, 2012 and 2014. They were also the first company to receive UL's Client Test Data Program Certification. This certification allows Trina to independently test staff expertise, standards and capabilities. With such dedicated focus on their products, Trina solar panels have one of the highest calibers in the PV industry. At their laboratory Trina's State Key Laboratory of PV Science & Technology (SKL), leading renewable energy scientists explore PV materials, new cell and module technology and seek to improve system performance. Currently, Trina's polycrystalline panels have tested at having 95.7% of their nameplate power over the first year with a 0.07% depreciation each year thereafter, after hitting their 25 year warranty their panels are still rated at 80.7% of their nameplate power. Such an attractive track record certainly should put them in the list of possible considerations.
