"Trina Solar has a proven track record, and their demonstrated experience and commitment to their customers made them an excellent choice.”
- Mr. Matt Cheney, CEO of Renewable Ventures
When Colorado State University decided to develop a ground-mounted solar power system at their Foothills campus, leading PV developer Fotowatio Renewable Ventures (FRV) selected Trina Solar’s multi-crystalline 230W modules. The installation is expected to generate annually over three and half million kilowatthours of electricity, satisfying over 10% of the campus’ electricity needs.
The system uses 23,000 Trina Solar models on a 15-acre piece of land near the CSU Foothills campus. It was designed and installed by AMEC, an international engineering and construction company, and the modules are mounted on a Wattsun single-axis tracking system produced by Array Technologies. The inverters were provided by Advanced Energy, a local Fort Collins company.
The project will generate electricity equivalent to the amount used by approximately 2,100 American homes and will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 6,250 tons.

With its reputation for quality and boasting one of the lowest cost structures in the solar PV industry, Trina Solar provides customers with the best $/kWh. For a large-scale PV installation to succeed both as an investment and reliable source of power, developers and project owners must have confidence in every element of the PV system. Having signed a 20-year Purchase Power Agreement with Xcel Energy, Colorado’s largest utility, FRV needed to be certain the modules would perform at or above expected levels.
FRV considers Trina modules a sound part of their long- term investment: "We are very pleased to work with Trina Solar on this Colorado State University solar project," said Mr. Matt Cheney, CEO of Renewable Ventures. "Trina Solar has a proven track record, and their demonstrated experience and commitment to their customers made them an excellent choice.”
Founded in 1997, Trina Solar is one of the leading PV companies based in China. Fully vertically integrated from ingots to modules in both mono and multicrystalline technologies, Trina Solar offers high quality modules. Listed on the NYSE, it operates worldwide to deliver the best value to its customers.
Trina Solar TSM-PC05 Multicrystalline Module
This is currently Trina Solar's most popular module. Versatile and adaptable, with power output ranging from 220 to 240Wp, the TSM-PC05 panel is perfect for large-scale installations, particularly ground-mounted and commercial rooftop systems. Using reliable and carefully selected components that are tested at the Trina Solar Center of Excellence, this panel comes with a 25-year performance guarantee of 80% power production.
