Independent Certification of @TrinaSolarUS Solar Technology with Conversion Efficiency of 24.4%

Make no mistake about it, 24.4% is a big deal—if the price is right.

Trina Solar Press ReleaseTrina Solar Limited, a global leader in photovoltaic (PV) modules, solutions and services, today announced that its State Key Laboratory of PV Science and Technology has developed a new high-efficiency Honey Ultra solar module.

Trina Solar's Honey Ultra monocrystalline silicon module reached a new record of 326.3W, which has been independently certified by TUV Rheinland, a leading authoritative certification institution. This result sets a new world record for p-type monocrystalline silicon modules. The monocrystalline silicon module is composed of 60 high-efficiency Honey Ultra monocrystalline silicon cells of 156mm x 156mm, fabricated with a technology developed by Trina Solar and currently in pilot production.

This new Honey Ultra module marks a key milestone for Trina Solar's State Key Laboratory of PV Science and Technology since its accreditation in November 2013 and follows the Company's development of a new Interdigitated Back Contact ("IBC") cell capable of delivering an industry-leading efficiency of24.4%.

This demonstrates Trina Solar's world-class monocrystalline silicon module and that the technology behind these high-efficiency modules is suitable for rapid roll-out to large-scale production.
