Trinasolar’s Yiwu and Yancheng factories are the first to achieve Silver-level certification under the SSI Supply Chain Traceability Standard

May 12, 2026
Global smart solar solutions leader Trinasolar’s module manufacturing sites Yiwu and Yancheng have reached an important milestone in responsible supply chain governance, by achieving Silver-level certification under the Solar Stewardship Initiative (SSI) Supply Chain Traceability standard. This demonstrates that the sites have established traceability systems in line with SSI requirements.

 

Trinasolar currently implements traceability as an add-on solutions service to meet increasing customer requests into supply chain accountability.

 

This certification builds on both sites’ existing Silver-level SSI ESG Standard certification. These certifications emphasise the importance of responsible and sustainable business practices throughout supply chains across the solar power industry.

 

Gonzalo de la Viña, President Trinasolar Europe and Latin America & Caribbean, said: “Achieving this certification is another crucial step in our efforts to ensure comprehensive traceability of our entire supply chain, and proves we are ahead of the game in this respect.

 

“We first implemented supply chain traceability procedures back in 2021 and participated in pilot audits for the SSI Supply Chain Traceability certification in 2024. We are proud to have our progress independently verified, and to be contributing to the development of greater transparency throughout the solar value chain."
