The Business

One of the major challenges faced by Chinese solar companies today in selling panels in the EU is the fixed minimum price. Trina Solar will still continue to serve Eueopean customers through its overseas manufacturing facilities.

In every country within this space, solar trade relations have stirred challenges trying stabilize local interests. Solar companies in China have suffered as an earlier result, because of the low panel prices and anti-dumping ("AD") duties in place. These factors have been imposed by Europe and the United States on solar panel imports with attempt to better protect the domestic solar market from from low-priced Chinese products.
