Trina Solar Announces Collaboration with E3/DC to Develop Energy Storage Solutions

Trina Solar Limited (NYSE: TSL), a leading integrated photovoltaic manufacturer, from ingot, wafer and cell production to module assembly, today announced its collaboration with E3/DC to develop the next generation of energy storage solutions for homes and small businesses.

Following the introduction of Trinamount in 2011 and the recent launch of Trinasmart, Trina Solar is consolidating its position as a solar solutions provider. “We are very excited about this new collaboration,” explains Ben Hill, Trina Solar’s Director for Europe. “Storage is one of the key technologies for the future. It allows for the balancing of energy production and consumption. Customers are becoming independent from rising energy costs. We are seeing a growing interest in storage solutions and want to be at the forefront of this new development.”

While this collaboration provides Trina Solar with access to cutting-edge storage technologies, E3/DC benefits from Trina Solar's global presence. “Trina Solar is an established and respected brand across the world,” said Andreas Piepenbrink, a Managing Director at E3/DC. “Trina Solar's offices across Asia and the Pacific, Europe, and the United States allow us to address multiple markets and a broad customer base. This is a very important and exciting collaboration for us.”
