Trina Solar Announces the Inauguration of Europe’s Largest Photovoltaic Rooftop System
Trina Solar Limited (NYSE: TSL) has recently announced the inauguration of the largest rooftop solar system in Europe with a capacity of 40MW.
The rooftop solar system was built for a global logistics service provider with headquarters in Antwerp, Belgium. The installation has been completed with solar modules supplied by Trina Solar under a previously announced sales agreement between the Company and Invictus NV ("Invictus"), a Belgian company, partner of the Benelux TEC Servicegroup.
