Trina Solar Comments on ITC�s Final Determination in Antidumping Duty and Countervailing Duty Investigations

�

CHANGZHOU, China, January�22, 2015 ��Trina Solar Limited�(�Trina Solar� or the �Company�), a global leader in photovoltaic modules, solutions and services, offers the following statement regarding the affirmative final determination of the�U.S. International Trade Commission�(�ITC�) on�January�21, 2015�that imports of certain crystalline silicon photovoltaic products from mainland�China�and�Taiwan�materially injure the domestic industry.

�

The determination follows the�U.S. Department of Commerce�s�(�DOC�) final rulings on�December�17, 2014�in the antidumping duty (�AD�) investigations of imports of certain crystalline silicon photovoltaic products from mainland�China�and�Taiwan, and the countervailing duty (�CVD�) investigation of imports of certain crystalline silicon photovoltaic products from�China.

�

The DOC had previously determined that imports of certain crystalline silicon photovoltaic products were dumped in�the United States�from�China�and that imports of certain crystalline silicon photovoltaic products from�China�received subsidies.�Trina Solar�was a mandatory respondent to both of the investigations regarding�China, in which it received a final dumping tariff of 26.71% and a final subsidy tariff of 49.79% under the final determination of the DOC. The Company expects the combined tariff to be reduced after the DOC completes its double-counting analysis in the coming weeks.

�

Trina Solar�believes that the final determinations made by the ITC and the DOC are both wrong and unfair.�Trina Solar�is in discussions with its legal advisers and other parties regarding whether to file an appeal to the final determinations issued by the DOC and the ITC.

�

The Company remains committed to serving its many customers and business partners in�the United States, where�Trina Solar�has built a solid and long-standing reputation for high quality products and services.�Trina Solar�believes that because of its competitive cost structure, in-house manufacturing capacities, global expansion strategies, strong brand image and quality products, it will continue to play an important role in the U.S. market.
