We at Trina Solar have created value through innovation, quality, accountability, teamwork, and creativity, principles which together comprise the core of our business model. It’s important for us to establish strong relationships with like-minded partners such as the Lotus F1 Team. Together, we are committed to leading sustainable development, whether it’s bringing people clean and reliable energy, or building a greener future for Formula 1 racing.

1. An environmentally responsible
approach to performance

2. Welcome to our world
Wherever the sun shines on our planet, our mission
is to provide people with abundant, clean and
reliable energy at an affordable cost.
From the company’s establishment in 1997, Trina
Solar has established a set of core values to
achieve our mission. Since then we’ve created
value through innovation, quality, accountability,
teamwork, and creativity, which comprise the core
of our business model. With this, we’ve established
strong relationships with like-minded businesses,
leaders and partners such as the Lotus F1 Team,
with whom we have many synergies.
As economic conditions have changed over the last decade, we remain committed to the principles of
sustainable development – a commitment that has become an inseparable part of our business philosophy
and one that we proudly share with the Lotus F1 Team. We continue to develop our business with the ultimate
goal of creating a favourable environment based on bedrock foundation of strong values shared by everyone.
As a socially and ethically responsible corporate citizen, our products are designed to benefit people and
improve their quality of life. As such, we have conducted a series of activities to improve the quality of life for
our employees by helping their families and the community.
These pledges form a major part of the foundation for our long-term success and continuing innovation.
Jifan Gao, Trina Solar CEO

3. “F1 is a team and partnership driven sport. It represents a unique engineering ecosystem that has enabled F1
to pioneer the use of high performance materials, remote sensing and energy storage to extract the most
from automotive powertrains.
“These environmentally beneficial gains have subsequently been scaled to everyday autos. Our teams at Trina
draw inspiration from these F1 examples as we pursue similar goals in order to ensure the solar solutions we
create with our partners accelerate their ability to replace fossil fuels.“
Mark Kingsley, Trina Solar CCO

4. Partners of the Lotus F1 Team
Why the Lotus F1 Team?
We proudly share with the Lotus F1 Team the values of
innovation, technology, quality, efficiency and a
commitment to promoting green technologies.
What does the partnership mean?
While Formula One continues to introduce more efficient
technologies and regulations driving sustainability, Trina
Solar have joined forces with the Lotus F1 Team to support
them in their commitment to remain carbon-neutral when it
comes to logistics, car design and production.

5. Trina Solar and Plant for the Planet
Trina Solar will plant 27,000 trees over the next three years
to offset the emissions of the Lotus F1 Team’s car
Trina Solar have committed to the Plant-for-the-Planet Children's Initiative that is committed to the global
reduction of greenhouse gases through the planting of trees.
The initiative was inspired by UNEP Billion Tree Campaign that has recently been handed over to the
responsibility of the children. They aim to plant 1,000 billion trees until 2020 to absorb carbon emissions and to
empower more than one million children to become active against the climate crisis.
Some 100,000 children in 193 countries are the leading lights of this campaign of sustainability for future
generations, and Trina Solar’s participation will see 27,000 trees planted over three years in Costa Rica,
Ecuador, Congo, Namibia, Malaysia, Brazil and China.
The overall reduction in CO2 from this activity is estimated to be more than 220,000 kilograms a year, a figure
that will offset the emissions from the Lotus F1 Team’s cars on track at Grands Prix over the course of five
seasons.

6. Trina Solar and Plant for the Planet
“We are proud to support the Plant for the Planet
Children’s Initiative and we look forward to hosting
the children at our headquarters so that we can
share with them the importance of solar energy.
Forging and fostering lifelong partnerships is key to
how we operate and we will work very closely with
Plant-for-the-Planet and the Lotus F1 Team to
contribute to this cause by offsetting the track
activities at Grands Prix of the Lotus F1 Team. We are
already involved in initiatives in developing
countries, aimed at providing remote communities
with electricity and therefore independence, and
Plant-for-the-Planet offers us another opportunity to
promote and support sustainability and a responsible
approach to energy consumption.”
Mark Kingsley, Trina Solar CCO

7. Sustainable Leadership
Trina Solar are setting the standard of solar panel technology
and sustainable energy performance.
We have achieved a World record for multicrystalline power
output1 confirmed by TUV Rheinland for the performance of our
solar panels, and are dedicated to continually developing our
technological expertise through our partnerships with the Lotus
F1 Team and leading universities worldwide.
Our solar panels contribute to the global sustainable energy
reserves and provide communities in the most remote areas with
electricity, but we are also committed to cutting the pollution
caused by panel production.

Committed to a carbon-footprint reduction
program at the factory
• Certified ISO 14001 (environmental management)
• Reducing electricity consumption in all workshops
• Shortening cycle time for selected machines
• Running various recycling programs (water, slurry, etc.)
• Economies of scale & maximizing space utilization
• PV park & vertical integration: reduce logistic pollution
• Member of PV Cycle to handle recycling of our panels

9. Sustainable Leadership
We are dramatically reducing our electricity and water consumption by:
• Recovering and reusing residual heat with cooling water. This alone saves about
3,100 MWh/year
• Selective use of refrigeration units and air-cooled heat pumps
• Collecting and reusing reverse osmosis concentrated water
• Reducing compressed dry air (CDA) system regeneration time
• Shortening machine production and cycle times
• Maximizing the use of recycled water and used water

11. Lotus F1 Team and the Environment
Trina Solar is currently working actively to incorporate solar technology into both the team’s daily
operations and their headquarters at Enstone, UK whilst supporting with a programme of carbon offsetting:
• The Lotus F1 Team are the only team to have a solar system installed in their motorhome
• At Enstone, the team’s simulator building is solar powered, contributing to its status as a Site of Special
Scientific Interest
• Trina Solar have committed to the carbon offsetting with the Plant-for-the-Planet campaign

12. Lotus F1 Team and the Environment
“Formula 1 has a long history of providing technological
development that has much wider implications than simply
making fast racing cars. The trickle down of useful
technology has, however, been incidental to the aims of
the sport. In recent years by contrast, the sport has taken a
conscious decision to structure its regulations to ensure that
the technology it delivers is of immediate and direct
relevance to the future improvement of road car efficiency.
Lotus F1 Team has played, and continues to play a
constructive role in the creation of these regulations. Back in
our factory, we have delivered many smaller scale initiatives
to ensure that our direct activities have a reduced carbon
footprint. So, whether on the small stage of our operations at
Enstone or on the wider stage of the strategic direction for
Formula 1, Lotus F1 Team is committed to promoting and
supporting initiatives that ensure that our activities
contribute to a greener future for society.”
Eric Bouiller, Lotus F1 Team Principal

13. F1 and the Environment
Formula One is taking steps towards becoming ever more sustainable with regulation changes
to drive energy efficiency.
The current generation of Formula One cars has already embraced hybrid technology with KERS
(Kinetic Energy Recovery System), and the sport is poised for a raft of technical changes for the
2014 season to reduce fuel consumption.
These regulations will see the capacity of the engines reduced from 2.4litres to just 1.6litres, but
performance will be maintained by permitting much larger hybrid systems that are also able to
generate energy from the exhaust heat
