Drawing on its advantages in product development, technological innovation and manufacturing capabilities, the company has been a driving force for sustainable development. According to Trina Solar's 2022 Sustainability Report, greenhouse gas emissions per unit of production for cell and module products fell 51% and 62% respectively in 2022 from the 2020 baseline.

Trina Solar attaches great importance to carbon emissions control in all aspects of the life cycle of modules. Trina Solar is the first module manufacturer to complete LCA certification for 210mm modules.
