Trinasolar has received the prestigious AA rating from TÜV Rheinland for PV supply chain traceability, covering all stages, from polysilicon to modules. This is the highest possible rating available and highlights the company’s commitment to enhancing the transparency and reliability of its supply chains. The certification provides important reassurances to customers and investors that Trinasolar considers strong and trustworthy supply chain management as essential.
As a renowned independent third-party inspection, testing, and certification body, TÜV Rheinland conducted an on-site audit of Trinasolar’s supply chain traceability mechanisms. The evaluation included a rigorous assessment of the company's supply chain management policies, system capabilities, and on-site execution. The audit aimed to verify that the raw materials used at every stage of production meet the required consistency standards. The rating system consists of five levels, with Trinasolar receiving the top AA rating across all key segments: polysilicon, ingots, wafers, cells and modules.
Xia Bo, Senior Vice President of TÜV Rheinland’s Products Division for Greater China, commended Trinasolar’s comprehensive traceability mechanisms, stating, “Strong supply chain traceability is a key indicator of transparency and reliability. Trinasolar has become the first in the industry to achieve the highest full-chain rating from polysilicon to modules, demonstrating its outstanding supply chain management capabilities.”
Du Qingguo, Vice President of Trinasolar and Head of the Quality Process Digitalization, said, “Trinasolar has long been committed to building a high-quality supply chain management platform by systematically managing suppliers at all levels and encouraging continuous improvement in their performance. Through close collaboration with global customer service, IT, intelligent manufacturing departments and both upstream and downstream partners across the PV supply chain, the company has established a comprehensive traceability mechanism, setting a benchmark for supply chain traceability in the PV industry.”
Trinasolar is driving supply chain empowerment initiatives, offering training courses to help relevant employees upgrade their supply chain management skills, Du said.
A robust supply chain traceability system ensures stringent quality control, facilitating project access to bank financing. Furthermore, it demonstrates Trinasolar’s dedication to building a sustainable supply chain. The company upholds high standards in business ethics, social responsibility and environmental stewardship, while ensuring its suppliers meet equally high standards, fostering a green and responsible supply chain together.
Trinasolar will continue to strengthen its supply chain traceability system following this rating, ensuring the company continues to deliver trustworthy and responsible products to its customers.
