Relying on the R&D platform of its leading photovoltaic science and technology laboratory, Trina Solar plans to strengthen R&D investment in the field of large-size cells and modules to ensure that the average efficiency of newly built passivated emitter and rear-contact cells reaches 23% early next year. The Company will continue to deploy forward-looking battery and component technology as it seeks to maintain its leading market position.

Gao Jifan, General Manager and Chairman of Trina Solar said that the Company will further enhance its core competitiveness through cost and scale advantages in expanding the production capacity of high-efficiency large-size solar cells, seize market development opportunities for monocrystalline products, and enhance profitability and the Company's comprehensive competitiveness with the advantage of policies in Yancheng that are forward-looking and give invaluable support to the industry.
