Trina Solar announced that it became the first global solar PV module manufacturer to cast a multicrystalline ingot using GT Solar's advanced DSS 450 furnace. This was achieved in connection with the commercial launch of Trina Solar's new multicrystalline module line.

The "jumbo" ingot is the result of Trina Solar's contract with GT Solar Incorporated, which supplies Trina Solar with DSS 450 furnaces that grow multicrystalline ingots up to 450 kg. This is Trina Solar's third order from GT Solar, representing approximately 300 MW of ingot growing capacity.

Jifan Gao, Trina Solar's Chairman and CEO, said: "We are very proud to have achieved this important milestone, which represents a key step in our efforts to expand capacity while lowering production costs and reflects the successful cooperation between our two companies. We look forward to opportunities to work with GT Solar as we continue to expand our capacity and strengthen Trina Solar's position as one of the leading PV module suppliers in the world."

Tom Zarrella, GT Solar's CEO, said: "Trina Solar's order for our advanced DSS 450 furnace to support its aggressive expansion plan is a strong indication of GT Solar's continued expansion in the Asia market. We value this customer and appreciate its confidence in our product."
