The company has opened sales and business development
presence in Chile. With this expansion, the company’s coverage now encompasses

recent expansion to Canada in July 2012. The company has also been recognized
by two organizations for its sustainable practices and field performance.
“Latin America has long been an emerging market
for solar, and we think there are countries in the region that are now primed
to rapidly grow the solar market,” said Mark Mendenhall, president of
Trina
Solar Americas. “We see the Latin American market as an excellent
opportunity to expand our sales efforts by providing clean, job creating
energy.”
Trina Solar will serve commercial, utility and
off-grid customers throughout Latin America with a focus
on Chile, Mexico, Brazil and neighboring countries. The
company’s presence in Chile represents the completion of a long-term
strategic goal for the Company.
