On June 25, Fortune, the authoritative publisher of the Fortune Global 500 list, officially released the 2026 China Top 50 Tech Companies list. Trina Solar, recognized for its innovative breakthroughs in the solar and energy storage sectors, was included alongside industry leaders such as Huawei, ByteDance, CATL, Tencent, DeepSeek, and Alibaba. This marks Trina Solar's second consecutive appearance on the list following its inclusion last year.

The Fortune series of lists has long been regarded as a barometer of global business trends. The "Fortune China Top 50 Tech Companies" list seeks to identify tech companies born in China that are making an impact on the world. Trina Solar's inclusion on this list is a strong endorsement of its technological innovation capabilities by Fortune.

As the Fortune editorial team noted, the listing of SpaceX has demonstrated to the market that tech companies pursuing hardcore technologies, long-cycle R&D, and high-risk investments are being sought after worldwide. An increasing number of Chinese tech companies are no longer satisfied with past application-layer innovations and are moving upstream in the industrial chain. From chips to algorithm architectures, tools and core materials, and infrastructure construction, they are continuously increasing R&D investment, demonstrating both ambition and patience for underlying technologies. This list also serves to recalibrate: recalibrating the public's perception of technology, recalibrating the competitive coordinates of the industry, and recalibrating the relationship between technology and humanity.

When launching the "Fortune China Top 50 Tech Companies" list, the Fortune editorial team specifically noted that Trina Solar is the first company on the STAR Market to cover four major segments: photovoltaic products, energy storage business, system solutions, and digital energy services. It has set world records 41 times, maintaining industry leadership. Its independently developed new THBC hybrid passivated back contact cell has achieved a maximum cell efficiency of 28.00%, marking the industry's first breakthrough of the 28.0% efficiency bottleneck on 210R large-area cells. In energy storage, it has achieved full-stack self-developed and self-manufactured capabilities from cells to battery containers to system integration.

Trina Solar is actively promoting the large-scale deployment of TOPCon 3.0, forming a dual-engine strategy with TOPCon 3.0 and THBC. This approach fully adapts to over 85% of global bifacial power generation scenarios, while rapidly advancing the full industrialization of THBC for monofacial scenarios, leveraging its higher front-side power performance advantages to create value for customers. Meanwhile, Trina Solar's small-area perovskite/crystalline silicon two-terminal tandem cell efficiency exceeds 35%, and its 210 large-area perovskite/crystalline silicon two-terminal tandem solar cell has achieved a maximum efficiency of 32.6%. The tandem module has surpassed 907W, and the high-efficiency perovskite/crystalline silicon tandem photovoltaic module has successfully secured the first order from a global high-end distributed customer, marking the world's first order for Chinese tandem technology products entering the high-end residential market.

Furthermore, Trina Solar is focusing on "computing-electricity synergy," leveraging its "solar-plus-storage integration" and "grid-forming" energy storage technologies to achieve intelligent linkage between energy and computing power. It is building end-to-end capabilities from green electricity to AI green computing power, forming an integrated business model of "direct green power connection + multi-level energy storage + computing-electricity synergy + computing infrastructure + computing operations." In collaboration with partners, it has released an AIDC full-domain integration solution and successfully implemented the world's first high-altitude zero-carbon computing benchmark in Qinghai.

In the first quarter of this year, Trina Solar's revenue grew 17.4% year-on-year, achieving positive operating cash flow of RMB 4.1 billion. The company's overall gross margin improved to 6.75%, and net loss was reduced by 80%. Multiple institutions believe that the company's leading position in modules is stable, and its energy storage, trackers, distributed systems, and digital energy services have formed a second growth curve. According to InfoLink statistics, the company's module shipments ranked among the global top three in 2025. Building on last year's doubled energy storage shipments, energy storage shipments in the first quarter of this year grew over 300% year-on-year, with the overseas share further increasing to over 90%. The full-year target is to continue doubling. Its tracker business ranks among the global top two, while distributed systems and digital energy services are growing rapidly with strong profitability.

Looking ahead, Trina Solar will continue to firmly prioritize innovation. Having once again been named to the Fortune China Top 50 Tech Companies list, Trina Solar will persist in making technological innovation its primary development strategy and core driving force, continuously unleashing the value of integrated solar and storage smart energy solutions, and injecting more momentum into the deep integration of the digital economy and energy transition.
