Based on independent and ongoing test data collected by Desert Knowledge
at its demonstration site from December 1, 2008 to July 31, 2009, the
Company's modules consistently held the top two position compared to modules
from several leading European, Japanese, and American brands under the harsh

similar system size operating at full capacity and fixed ground mount
installation. Combining high performance with superior value, Trina Solar is
dedicated to reducing the cost of solar provided electricity to accelerate the
adoption of clean and efficient energy technologies.
Desert Knowledge is a 3.1 million Australian Dollars public initiative
