Trina Solar Limited, a integrated manufacturer of solar photovoltaic (PV) products from the production of ingots, wafers and cells to the assembly of PV modules, announced through its subsidiary, Changzhou Trina Solar Energy Co. Ltd., the completion of a 5 MW solar power plant developed by Lanco Infratech Limited ("LITL"), one of the fastest growing business conglomerates in India. The project is one of the largest single-location solar power plants in the country and the first such for the State.
Trina Solar was the exclusive supplier of the high performance PV modules to power the solar plant located in the Indian state of Gujarat. The western Indian state of Gujarat is emerging as a hub of solar power generation due to its abundant open space, high solar radiation and keen Government support to promote Gujarat as an investment destination for solar energy.
"We are pleased to work with Lanco, one of India's leading integrated players with considerable experience in EPC, construction and power generation," said Ku Jun Heong, Director of Sales and Marketing (Asia Pacific) at Trina Solar. "India is one of the most promising solar growth markets, announcing its goal to achieve 22 GW of solar energy by end of 2022. We believe our partnership with Lanco will play a significant role in fulfilling India's solar potential under the National Solar Mission."
"We are excited to work with Trina Solar, a recognized global leader in solar PV modules, on this project," said Mr. Sai Baba, CEO of Lanco Solar. "Leveraging our in-house expertise to establish and grow Lanco as a leader in the solar industry, we hope to strengthen our partnership with Trina Solar to provide sustainable, innovative and cost effective energy solutions."
