CHANGZHOU, China, Sept. 24 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Trina Solar Limited (NYSE: TSL; "Trina Solar" or the "Company"), a leading integrated manufacturer of solar photovoltaic products from the production of ingots, wafers and cells to the assembly of PV modules, founded in 1997, today announced that shipments began this month to provide more than 13,400 solar PV modules to power the Atlantic City Convention Center ("ACCC"). This supply comes as part of a signed agreement with general contractor American Capital Energy, who is managing project integration and installation for Pepco Energy Services and the Atlantic City Convention & Visitors Authority ("ACCVA"). The agreement provides for up to four additional megawatts ("MW") to be supplied during 2009.
Once complete, the ACCC project will be North America's largest single roof-mounted solar array, with approximately 185,000 square feet of solar panels for a system size of approximately 2.4 MW. The system is expected to generate over 2.8 million kilowatt-hours of energy per year, or enough to power 280 US homes. The system is being developed under a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement with Pepco Energy Services, a subsidiary of Pepco Holdings, Inc., and will provide the ACCC with energy savings of $4.4 million over 20 years.
"We are very pleased that Trina Solar modules were chosen for this landmark roof-mounted system," stated Jifan Gao, Trina Solar's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We are delighted to work with a proven solar system developer such as American Capital Energy as we enter this key growth market to provide efficient, clean solar energy in the years ahead."
