Trinasolar US Celebrates the 2026 FIFA World Cup Host Sites
June 10, 2026
A Look at Where Trinasolar’s Customer Success Stories Intersect with the World Cup Map
Every few years, the world pauses. Billions of people turn their attention to the same soccer fields, the same moments, the same shared joy — and for the first time this century, that attention will focus on North America. The
2026 FIFA World Cup will light up stadiums across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and the host cities chosen to welcome it are places defined by energy, infrastructure, and community vitality.
As it turns out, they're also places Trinasolar knows well.
Long before the opening whistle, Trina has been quietly at work in many of these same communities, supplying
industry-leading PV modules for Texas rooftops, California vineyards, Houston businesses, New Jersey healthcare clinics, and utility-scale installations across the country. Some of these projects have been generating clean energy for more than 15 years. Others represent the cutting edge of what solar and storage technology can do today. Beyond a testament to the breadth of Trina’s U.S. presence, all of the projects reflect the same core belief: that clean, reliable energy is something every community deserves.
As billions of eyes turn toward these host cities, let’s take a look at where Trinasolar's work intersects with the World Cup map.
California: Trinasolar’s Sun-Soaked Roots in the Golden State
The international soccer tournament kicks off in the state that kicked off America's solar industry: California. Not only is California where Trinasolar US first set up shop in the country in 2006, but it’s also where some of our most meaningful community-level work has taken root.
June 12 | SoFi Stadium, Inglewood — USA vs. Paraguay
Nearby Trina Project: Park Villas Apartments, Chino, CA
When the U.S. men's national team takes the field for the tournament opener, fans in Chino, just an hour east, will be watching from homes powered in part by Trinasolar panels. Park Villas Apartments was, at the time of its installation, the largest Multi-family Affordable Housing Solar (MASH) project in California — a 775,000 kWh-per-year system serving 144 housing units and shared spaces. Beyond kilowatt-hours, on-site solar training was offered to residents, three of whom were hired directly onto the local installation team, demonstrating how clean energy also creates economic opportunities.
June 16 | Levi's Stadium, Santa Clara — Austria vs. Jordan
Nearby Trina Project: Treasury Winery Estates, San Luis Obispo County, CA
Up the coast in San Luis Obispo County wine country, Treasury Winery Estates made a quiet but powerful statement demonstrating how California's agricultural heritage and its clean energy future can coexist and flourish. Trinasolar panels now stretch across the rooftops of wine storage and grape-crushing facilities and interconnect to PG&E meters at a 500-plus-acre vineyard in the coastal mountain range. The winery even got a new roof out of the deal.
The Northeast: Trinasolar Powering the I-95 Corridor
The New York/New Jersey and Philadelphia metro areas host some of the World Cup's most anticipated matchups — and some of Trinasolar's longest-running solar PV projects.
June 13 | East Rutherford, NJ - MetLife Stadium Brazil vs. Morocco
Nearby Project: Hawk Pointe Golf Club, Washington, NJ
At Hawk Pointe Golf Club in Washington, NJ, the owners had a vision: the most environmentally friendly golf course in the country. Solar made that vision real, and there's a beautiful logic to it — peak sunshine and peak tee times arrive together, making solar not just an environmental choice but an obvious economic one. The system even reclaims and treats wastewater for irrigation, closing the loop on sustainability in a way that feels almost poetic.
June 15 | East Rutherford, NJ - MetLife Stadium Ecuador vs. Germany
Nearby Project: Meridian Center Business Park, Eatontown, NJ
Then there's Meridian Center Business Park in Eatontown, NJ — one of Trinasolar's very first U.S. commercial installations, completed back in 2009. Rising energy costs drove the decision then, and more than 15 years later, those same panels are still humming along, still offsetting emissions, still proving that the best infrastructure investments are the ones that outlast the headlines.
June 19 | Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia — Brazil vs. Haiti
Nearby Project: Inspira Health Center, Millville, NJ
Across the Delaware River in Millville, NJ, Inspira Health Center marks the debut of Trinasolar's Vertex N in the U.S. market. The higher efficiency and power output delivered by the module’s n-type TOPcon advanced cell technology enabled Equinox Renewable Energy to design a system that overcame the building’s rooftop constraints, thereby making it financially feasible. The 331 kW rooftop system now powers a medical clinic that South Jersey residents depend on, and earned a nomination for Solar Builder's 2021 C&I Project of the Year in the process.
The Lone Star State of Solar: Big Footprint, Bigger Solar Vision
Everything's bigger in Texas — including the World Cup footprint, and no state has more matches than the Lone Star State. While Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth metros each host multiple matches, Trinasolar has been helping multiple communities, businesses, and municipalities write their own clean energy chapters. These successes include three of Trina’s most compelling recent customer success stories, all in collaboration with longtime partner Spear Commercial and Industrial, an Austin-based EPC firm.
June 14 | NRG Stadium, Houston — Germany vs. Curaçao
Nearby Project: Drake Plastics, Houston, TX
Some solar projects are functional. Some are art. For Drake Plastics, a specialty manufacturer serving the aerospace industry, the answer is both. Located just outside of Houston, the integrated 1.3 MW rooftop and carport system is impressive on its own — a payback period under four years, 719 tons of CO₂ offset annually. But the detail that stops people in their tracks? The Vertex N modules in the carport’s array are engineered to spell out DRAKE, a publicly visible architectural statement that aligns with the company’s cutting-edge mission.
June 17 | AT&T Stadium, Arlington — England vs. Croatia
Nearby Project: Foundation Communities, Austin, TX
Foundation Communities is doing the kind of work that illustrates both the tangible human benefits and the urgency of clean energy. This Austin-based nonprofit provides affordable housing and wraparound support services for its residents. The C&I solar rooftop system powered by Trina’s modules helps Foundation Communities achieve its sustainability goals while also serving as a core part of how the nonprofit reduces energy costs and stretches every dollar to serve the people who need it most. When energy costs go down, everything else gets a little easier.

June 24 | NRG Stadium, Houston — Portugal vs. Uzbekistan
Nearby Project: Smithville Solar Project, Smithville, TX
In the small City of Smithville, TX, a community solar project is doing something deceptively simple: making local energy more local. The Smithville Solar Project's 1.4 MW installation increases generation capacity and strengthens grid resilience for residents and businesses alike. It's a reminder that the energy transition isn't only happening at scale — it's happening neighborhood by neighborhood, town by town.
The Southeast: Sunny Outlook, Deep Commitment
Trinasolar's presence in the Southeast continues to shine, and two of the World Cup's most electric host markets — Florida and Georgia — sit at the heart of that presence.
June 18 | Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta — Spain vs. Cape Verde
Nearby Project: Camilla Utility Project, Camilla, GA
In Camilla, a small city in southern Georgia, the Camilla Utility Project is a story about showing up when it matters. When the original module supplier for this Origis Energy-developed utility-scale project couldn't meet an accelerated construction deadline, Trinasolar stepped in and did what it does best — deliver solar project success. Thanks to Trina’s reliable execution and high-performance PV modules, a community energy project stayed on track, and the developer's financial targets remained intact. That’s the kind of reliability you can count on from Trina and Trina’s advanced solar PV technology.
Nearby Project: Glades RV Resort, Moore Haven, FL
Near the edge of the Florida Everglades in Moore Haven, Glades RV Resort became one of the first RV parks in the country to run entirely on solar power. The owner sought environmental stewardship and energy cost savings without sacrificing the guest experience — and a 1 MW solar power array with Trinasolar’s modules made both possible. There's something wonderfully Floridian about it: the signature hospitality of the Sunshine State, powered by the sun. Clean energy meeting people where they live, travel, and relax.
One Sol, One Goal
The World Cup will come and go. The stadiums will empty, the flags will come down, and the world will return to its usual rhythms. But the Trinasolar PV modules in the fields and on those rooftops will still be there, generating clean solar energy in high-performance, highly reliable systems for years to come, all backed by one of the industry’s most bankable companies.
Just like the international soccer teams moving through the tournament, one game at a time, toward that one coveted goal, Trina continues to build a cleaner, more resilient energy future, one project at a time, in places that matter to real people. The World Cup just happens to be a beautiful reminder of how many of those places are already home to Trina’s panels.
