The company was founded in 1997 by Jifan Gao. [3]

In June 2020, Trina Solar listed on the STAR Market of Shanghai Stock Exchange. [4]

A 2023 report by Sheffield Hallam University stated that Trina Solar had very high exposure to production in Xinjiang involving forced Uyghur labor. [5] In August 2023, the U.S. Department of Commerce ruled that Trina Solar circumvented tariffs on Chinese-made goods. [6]

In November 2024, Trina Solar sold its plant in Texas to T1 Energy a week after it opened amid government scrutiny of Chinese companies that benefited from the Inflation Reduction Act. [7] [8]
