Trina Solar is a well-known R&D and manufacturer of photovoltaic modules in China, and is the world's "big brother" in terms of R&D strength and module manufacturing, with huge PV module shipments, ranking among the top three in the world from 2014 to 2019, including 5.74 billion watts and 9.2 billion watts in 2015 and 2017, ranking first in global PV module shipments.
Although Trina Solar's solar lanterns are only a small part of its many businesses, it has made a name for itself in the solar lamp market by relying on its strong solar hardware strength.
Trina Solar has industry-leading R&D capabilities, and has obtained 852 photovoltaic patents (310 invention patents), and since 2011, Trina Solar has broken world records for the efficiency and module power output of crystalline silicon cells 20 times, most recently in November 2019, when the high-efficiency N-type polycrystalline i-TOPCon solar cell photoelectric conversion efficiency developed by the State Key Laboratory of Photovoltaic Science and Technology of Trina Solar was as high as 23.22%, setting a new world record for the efficiency of large-area polycrystalline cells.
In 2012, Trina Solar obtained UL certification, an authoritative security inspection and appraisal organization in the United States, and is the first photovoltaic company in China to obtain relevant certification. This year, Trina Solar was selected as the world's best-performing module manufacturer by PVEL (PV Evolution Labs), an authoritative photovoltaic testing organization, for its excellent product reliability and power generation performance, which is also the sixth time that Trina Solar has been ranked among the top performers.
Trina Solar provides distributed photovoltaic system solutions to the market, and the production and sales of basic photovoltaic modules are Trina Solar's main business, accounting for about 70% of the total revenue.
Trina Solar has few products, only three types of induction wall lamps, street lamps and backpacks, but they all use their own solar cells and have Trina Solar's strict quality control, so they are also worth considering. Induction wall lamps and street lamps adopt a simple design, the shell is made of aluminum alloy, which looks very textured and more durable, and uses microwave radar induction, which is more sensitive and farther in sensing distance than the infrared human body sensing in the mainstream market.
