Trina Solar has issued a statement regarding the preliminary determination of anti-dumping duties by the US Department of Commerce(DOC).
"Trina Solar's innovation and globalization has helped to create great value for our stakeholders,"said Jifan Gao,chairman and CEO of Trina Solar."Current market conditions illustrate precisely why we have been conservative in the past,and why we place a priority on building a strong balance sheet.We believe that the quality of our panels and the strength of our team will ensure that we continue to serve the US market for the long term."
"We remain committed to the very close relationships we have developed in the US solar industry and will continue to deliver industry leading solutions together with these customers,"added Mark Kingsley,CCO of Trina Solar."Our primary objective remains to sustainably drive down total installed per watt cost through the use of our proprietary high-efficiency module know-how in combination with industry best practices on balance of system cost optimization.This is simply what is required to unlock the next level of fossil fuel replacement in the United States.Any duties are short-sighted impediments to this worthy goal."
Kingsley concluded,"We intend to strongly defend with data our position that these duties are unwarranted and serve as an impediment to the broader adoption of solar energy in a time of rising fuel costs.As a forward-thinking global company,we will continue to assess our options to most effectively serve all of our markets,including our growing business in the US."
