Chinese solar cell and module producer Trina Solar shipped a total of 15.915 GW of solar modules in the year 2020, the company announced in its annual report for the year. This is slightly higher than 15.88 GW its peer JA Solar shipped last year (see JA To Up Module Capacity To 40 GW By Year End).

At the end of 2020, Trina Solar's total module production capacity reached about 22 GW, and the management has time and again reiterated its target to exceed 50 GW by the end of 2021 (see 4 GW Order For Trina Solar's 210mm Solar Modules). By year end, it has also guided for its total solar cell production capacity to reach about 35 GW, of which 210mm sized capacity should represent more than 70% share. In January 2021 Trina said it plans to raise RMB 5.26 billion to fund its capacity expansion to exceed 50 GW modules and more than 26 GW of cells (see Trina Solar To Raise Over RMB 5 Billion To Fund Expansion).
