CHANGZHOU, China, May 28, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

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."
