S&P Global Commodity Insights unveiled its inaugural Tier 1 Cleantech Companies list, covering solar PV modules, solar PV inverters, energy storage systems and wind turbines. Trinasolar was included in the Tier 1 list for both solar PV modules and energy storage systems, a recognition of its strong market presence, global footprint and commitment to sustainable practices.
S&P Global Commodity Insights’ Tier 1 assessment evaluates global manufacturers across six key dimensions including market presence, market share, scale, global diversification, corporate sustainability assessments and financial performance. To be classified as Tier 1, a company must exceed the minimum threshold in at least four out of the six dimensions.
“Our Tier 1 list is designed to help suppliers stand out in a crowded field and aid developers, offtakers and those procuring or financing equipment and renewable project development in identifying reliable and resilient partners,” said Edurne Zoco, Ph.D., Executive Director of Research and Analysis, Clean Energy Technology, S&P Global Commodity Insights.
“Being named as Tier 1 by S&P Global for both solar PV modules and energy storage systems, further underscores our global influence, sustainability leadership, and capability to deliver world-class integrated smart energy solutions,” said Helena Li, president at Trinasolar.
