On October 19, 2011, a trade action was filed in Washington, DC alleging the unfair importation of Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells and Modules from China. Trina Solar, among other Chinese suppliers, was identified as an exporter of these products to the United States market.
Trina Solar believes the allegations made by the U.S. petitioners will eventually prove to be unfounded and that Trina Solar's transactions with its United States customers were made in accordance with international trade practices. The company has, and will continue to, adhere to prudent and recognized United States industry practices and standards. Trina Solar is confident that these facts will be affirmed within the proceedings.
As before, Trina Solar remains dedicated to bringing the sustainable benefits of clean and innovative solar energy products and services to residential, commercial and utility scale customers throughout the United States and worldwide.
