The PV modules are expected to be delivered during 2010. With the signing of this sales agreement, Trina Solar has secured a total of approximately 40MW of PV modules from customers in the US during 2010, all with agreed prices.
Mark Wilkerson, senior director of north American sales and marketing at Trina Solar, said: “We are excited to announce this agreement with a well-established leading electrical wholesale distributor like Essco and Sonepar USA. We look forward to helping expand their solar PV capabilities and provide their existing customers and markets with our high-quality solar products.
“This partnership will help Trina Solar expand its presence and increase brand recognition in commercial and residential markets in the US, an important growth market for the company.”
Scott Tonn, president of Essco, said: “With the addition of Trina Solar modules to our renewable energy equipment portfolio, we truly are able to be a one-stop distributor for our electrical contractors and solar integration companies. With Sonepar’s national coverage through its operating companies and encompassing Essco’s direct coverage of the Southwest, we are making renewable energy products more available and affordable than ever before to our customers.”
