Trinasolar, a global leader in smart PV and energy storage solutions, has officially released its 2025 Sustainability Report, marking the 14th consecutive year of ESG disclosure. The report showcases Trinasolar’s advancements in innovation, sustainable manufacturing, supply chain transparency, social responsibility, and governance.

In a year defined by intense industrial competition, Trinasolar has been committed to the "SOLAR" philosophy — embedding sustainability not just as a compliance requirement, but as a driver of technological and supply chain resilience.

The report, externally certified by TÜV SÜD (in accordance with ISAE 3000), confirms that Trinasolar has not only met its 2025 environmental targets ahead of schedule but has also successfully pivoted toward "Computing-Power Coupling" and AI-driven energy management.

Climate Action: Intensity Reduction and Circular Innovation
The 2025 report shows significant decoupling of carbon emissions from economic output. Using a 2020 baseline, Trinasolar has drastically reduced its carbon intensity per megawatt of production.

Module GHG Intensity (Scope 1 & 2): Achieved 5.99 tCO2e/MW, a 75.19% reduction against the 2020 baseline.

Cell GHG Intensity (Scope 1 & 2): Achieved 27.33 tCO2e/MW, a 43.43% reduction.

Energy Consumption: Comprehensive energy consumption intensity for cells and modules dropped by 28.16% and 53.18%, respectively.

While absolute emissions (Market-based Scope 2) saw a slight increase due to capacity expansion, Trinasolar’s Yiwu facility maintained its Zero-Carbon Factory (Type I) Five-Star status, with total carbon emissions dropping 27.21% year-on-year.

Water & Circular Economy: The "Zero Liquid" Revolution
Water stewardship emerged as a standout performance metric. Facing global scrutiny on manufacturing water usage, Trinasolar nearly closed the loop on water consumption.

Water Intensity: Unit module water consumption fell by 84.02% (to 13.55 tons/MW), and unit cell water consumption fell by 91.62% (to 86.53 tons/MW) compared to 2020.

Circular Innovation: Trinasolar unveiled the world’s first fully recycled photovoltaic (PV) module. The company currently holds 35 patents related to module recycling, with general waste recycling rates hitting 98.10%.

"SOLAR" 2.0: Green Supply Chain, Computing Power and R&D

1. 1. The "Digital Passport" for Supply Chains

In 2025, Trinasolar launched the "Intelligent Carbon" digital management system. This allows the company to trace its carbon footprint from polysilicon to export, assigning a "Green Digital Identity" to every product destined for the global market. The company also established an "ESG Performance-Market Support-Order Profit" positive cycle to incentivize green suppliers.

2. 2. The "Green Computing Power" Pivot

Trinasolar highlights a major strategic move: "Solar + Computing,", actively building "Solar-Storage-Grid-Computing" collaboration parks.

Domestic: A zero-carbon computing power project supplying 100% green electricity (10 million kWh annually).

Overseas: A grid-forming energy storage project (233MW/1003MWh) providing green power to mining operations.

3. 3. R&D as the ESG Anchor

With a record research and development (R&D) investment of RMB 4.078 billion (6.09% of revenue), Trinasolar continues to push efficiency boundaries. The State Key Laboratory reached its 39th world record, achieving a perovskite/silicon tandem cell lab efficiency of 32.6% (886W module output power).

Recognitions & Governance
Ratings & Awards: Trinasolar received the EcoVadis 2025 Silver Medal (top 12% globally), and its Yiwu/Dongtai/Yancheng three module manufacturing bases were certified SSI ESG and Supply Chain Traceability Standard and achieved Silver. Trinasolar also earned a Wind ESG rating of AA, a Sustainable Fitch rating of “2,” and was named a Bloomberg Green ESG Champion for the third consecutive year.

Safety: The company reported zero work-related fatalities, with the Loss Time Injury Rate (LTIR) dropping by 38% to 0.504.

Diversity: Female employees make up 26.05% of the workforce, with 24.85% in management roles.

Outlook: The Race to Net-Zero
By integrating green and smart manufacturing, Trinasolar is positioning its 2025 report not merely as a record of past deeds, but as a technical blueprint for a net-zero world.

Moving forward, Trinasolar will further integrate ESG values into its core business, advance its goal of net-zero emissions by 2050, and contribute to global clean energy transition and sustainable development.
