Recently, Trina Solar's Extreme N-type 700W, Extreme N-type 610W and Extreme 670W modules have passed UL EPD certification and achieved mutual recognition with Italian EPD. Trina Solar Extreme n-type 700W module greenhouse gas impact to 13The industry-leading value of 2GCO2EQ kWh enables customers to choose green and low-carbon PV products, further demonstrating Trina Solar's commitment to sustainable development.
The Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a comprehensive and internationally unified report prepared by the product manufacturer in accordance with the ISO14025 standard, which documents the impact of the product on the environment throughout its life cycle. After a comprehensive calculation and analysis of the data by UL experts, a comprehensive assessment and presentation of a number of environmental impact indicators of Trina Solar's three PV products throughout their life cycle confirmed that all three Trina Solar's products meet the requirements of EPD standards, prepared reports for them, and completed registration on the Italian EPD system.
This further confirms the environmental friendliness of Trina Solar's products throughout their life cycle, confirms Trina Solar's practice of green development concepts, and helps customers better understand the sustainable quality and environmental impact of Trina Solar's products, providing customers with authoritative data support in project eco-design, green procurement, green consumption, etc.
Verified throughout the life cycle, consistently cultivating green
The scope of this EPD verification covers the entire life cycle of Trina Solar's PV modules, including:Raw material acquisition, manufacturing processing, transportation, use and **and so on. Trina Solar is not only a producer of green energy, but also a practitioner of green development, focusing on carbon emission control in all aspects of the module life cycle. In 2022, Trina Solar's full range of 210 Extreme modules were awarded the LCA LCA certification and product carbon footprint certification for PV modules by TÜV Rheinland.
Trina Solar integrates sustainability into its products at the design stage to reduce carbon emissions in production. In addition, Trina Solar places great emphasis on product sustainability, reducing product changeovers and**. As a PV Cycle member since 2010, Trina Solar has designed a set of compliant treatment methods for end-of-life PV modules to minimize environmental pollution.
Multi-party certification, green and low-carbon achievements are remarkable
Trina Solar has engraved sustainable development into its corporate DNA and has been deeply engaged in "zero-carbon practices", and its low-carbon achievements in recent years have been very impressiveIn December 2020, Trina Solar became the first company in the world to receive the world's first UL and Italian EPD mutual recognition marks in the photovoltaic industry；In April of this year,Trina Solar's Yiwu plant was awarded the 2022 Zero Carbon Factory (Type I) Certificate, becoming the first zero carbon factory in the PV industry to be certified by an authoritative organization；Trina Solar's Suqian Base was awarded the 2023 National Green Factory. In addition, Trina Solar has also won the "Top 100 Innovators in Global Energy Transition" by Reuters, WWF Climate Pioneer, Forbes China Top 50 Sustainable Industrial Enterprises, Forbes China ESG Innovators, European Union Chamber of Commerce in China "Decarbonization Leader" Award, and Bloomberg Green Gold ESG 50 Annual Enterprises of Concern.
Trina Solar's mission is to "benefit all mankind with solar energy", and its high-quality low-carbon photovoltaic products have made great contributions to global green development. As of the third quarter of 2023, Trina Solar's cumulative global shipments of PV modules exceeded 170GW, equivalent to 7The installed capacity of the four Three Gorges hydropower stations is equivalent to planting about 12.5 billion trees around the world. In the future, Trina Solar will continue to practice the concept of green development, actively work with partners to continuously promote energy conservation and emission reduction goals, and jointly create a better zero-carbon world.
