Trina Solar Passes 8GW Solar Module Shipment Milestone For India

Global Cleantech Firm Trina Solar Is Back On BNEF's Tier 1 List

Trina Solar has shipped more than 8GW of solar modules to India since 2010, supplying to PV projects in all three segments of residential, commercial and industrial and utility.

“Solar modules for commercial and industrial (C&I) businesses accounted for 60% of Trina Solar’s shipments to India last year and in 2022’s first quarter, while about 40% of shipments were for utility-scale projects,” says Gaurav Mathur, India director for Trina Solar.

For Trina Solar, being an early mover into India has certainly helped, as that has aided both brand recognition and establishing a strong selling base in India. The firm has been followed into India by other leading China-based majors, from Jinko to Longi and many more.
