On April 23, the 2nd 2nd International Finance and Frontier Technology Forum and Conference of the New Energy International Investment Alliance with the theme of "Dual Carbon Empowerment, Zero Carbon Future" was successfully concluded in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. Ma Weiming, Vice President of Trina Solar, was invited to participate in the forum and share his insights on green energy transition, Trina Solar's experience and thoughts on green development and global layout.
Three thoughts on green energy transition: technological innovation, customer centricity, and global collaboration
In his speech at the opening ceremony of the forum, Ma Weiming, Vice President of Trina Solar, shared three thoughts on green energy transition with the participants. The first is that technological innovation is the driving force behind a clean, sustainable future. The growing installed scale and proportion of clean energy is inseparable from the contribution of technological innovation to the cost of electricity. Trina Solar has always been committed to technological innovation, and so far Trina Solar has set and refreshed world records in terms of PV module conversion efficiency and module output power 26 times, leading PV innovation and development with a series of "firsts".
The second is to be customer-centric, listen to customer feedback, understand customer needs, and create greater value for customers. From the "golden size" module products developed based on customer application scenarios, to the tracking bracket products that adapt to complex terrain, extreme weather, strong winds, sandstorms and other application scenarios, to the large-scale storage, industrial and commercial storage and household storage solutions covering all scenarios, Trina Solar has a comprehensive understanding of customer needs and creates higher value for customers.
It's even more important to collaborate with global partners to create a sustainable future. The New Energy International Investment Alliance is a business cooperation platform based on the principle of "consultation, co-construction and sharing". Saudi Arabia also officially released the "Saudi Arabia Vision 2030" in 2016, which aims to diversify the economy and transform the energy structure. Trina Solar has always been committed to cooperation and openness, bringing together all parties to contribute to global energy conservation, emission reduction and sustainable development.
Advanced products + long-term green practices to help end customers develop green and low-carbon
Gao Lei, Head of Global Module Product Management and Planning at Trina Solar, delivered a keynote speech on the topic of "Helping the Transformation of New Power Systems and Creating a Beautiful and Zero-Carbon World". Trina Solar is not only a producer of green energy, but also a practitioner of green development.
According to Gao Lei, Trina Solar has always practiced the concept of green development, and has helped end customers and regions around the world achieve sustainable development and energy transition with greener and lower carbon footprint products. As early as 2022, Trina Solar's full range of Extreme P-type modules received LCA certification and product carbon footprint certification from an authoritative third party. Following the EPD certification and mutual recognition of Trina Solar's Extreme N-type modules, Trina Solar's entire N-type modules have also been certified for their product carbon footprint, bringing customers a product experience with better performance and greener and low-carbon development, helping end customers in their green energy transition.
Build a Globalization 3.0 Era and create a sustainable future together
Ma Weiming was also invited to participate in a high-end roundtable dialogue, and had in-depth discussions with representatives from financial institutions and new energy companies such as BBVA and Deutsche Bank on how to promote the healthy and sustainable development of the global new energy industry, how to promote the globalization and localized operation of the photovoltaic industry.
"Since its establishment 27 years ago, Trina Solar has always regarded globalization as an important strategy. Trina Solar has moved from the 1.0 era of product globalization to the 2.0 era of talent globalization and service globalization, with a business footprint in more than 170 countries and more than 50,000 employees from more than 70 countries. ”
At present, Trina Solar is building a 3.0 era of globalization of production capacity system, service system, operation management system, and risk management system. "In the Middle East and Africa, for example, Trina Solar has not only set up a regional headquarters in Dubai, UAE, but also an office in Johannesburg, South Africa, and warehouses in several cities to better serve customers and partners in the region. ”
Looking ahead, Trina Solar looks forward to working in synergy with all parties around the world and working together with other countries to form a global industrial chain development pattern and build a new energy system based on global consultation, co-creation and sharing.
