TRINA SOLAR OPENS WILMER PLANT

WILMER – Business leaders, politicians and community supporters were on hand earlier this month when Trina Solar opened its 1.35 million square foot solar photovoltaic manufacturing facility in Wilmer.

In 2024 the facility will begin to produce a 5GW of innovative large power output Vertex modules using a 210mm large-sized wafer and an advanced solar industry technology using polysilicon from both the United States and Canada.

With more than 150 guests in attendance, keynote speakers for the opening included Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price, State Representative (D-109), Wilmer Mayor Sheila Petta, Dr. Joseph Seabrooks, president of Dallas College, Steve Modory, co-managing partners of Champion Partners and Steve Zhu, president of Trina Solar US.
