As per the terms of the agreement, the company is expected to provide SCE with 45MW of PV modules at accepted prices with the supplies taking place between the second quarter of 2010 and the first quarter of 2011.
The modules are likely to be used in SCE’s solar photovoltaic installation program, otherwise known as the SCE Solar PV Program.
SCE, authorized by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), plans to cover up to 65 million square feet of unused Southern California commercial rooftops with 250MW of the latest photovoltaic technology.
Jifan Gao, chairman and CEO of Trina Solar, said: “This program is a milestone in utility-owned PV generation in the US and Trina Solar is excited to play a significant part in supplying modules representing approximately 20%of the solar capacity needed for the program.”
